Stricter Gun Regulations And Laws

The right to possess guns is a fundamental element to American identity. The right to own and operate guns under certain circumstances is in fact guaranteed as part of the United States Constitution. Over the course of American history and particularly in the 21st century, there exists a great debate over the possession of guns of private citizens. Both sides of the debate argue with fervor. There are those that argue fervently for the right to possess arms; they argue for guns with regard to home protection, property protection, personal security, and that it is a fundamental right as a citizen.

Many people around the United States are victims of shootings, whether they be school shootings, mass shootings, or Terrorist Attacks. There seem to be two common ideas either support or oppose gun control. In the United States, many gun control supporters believe that guns are the reason mass shootings happen while gun control opponents believe that people are the cause of mass shootings. But they both want the people in the United States to be safe, whether that is from government tyranny, mass shootings, gun violence, or mental health.

Gun control is one of the most controversial issues talked about in today’s society. Some people believe that if we take guns away from civilians then there will be less violence in the county. Others think that it is our right to bear arms. President Obama is trying to pass laws to enforce stricter gun laws, because he believes that one of the biggest problems in American is that too many people are able to have guns.

One strong point for gun owners is the shootings in schools against numerous victims. One shooting was in Pearl, Miss., and another in Edinboro, Pa. Each of those states is allowed open carry. In both of those shootings, the killer came to a halt because citizens had guns. If citizens didn’t have guns more killers could have continued to murder people because they would have had no way to protect themselves. These gun supporters will be the firsts to say that because those people had guns, those killings didn’t become mass murders.

Guns in the U.S has been a problem for many years now. So much so that America is what comes to mind when people think about guns. America is the most known nation in the world when it comes to firearms, with citizens owning about an astonishing 270 million of the world’s 875 million firearms(Marshall). That is thirty percent on the world registered firearms. The reason why Americans own so may guns comes down to the second Amendment, which claims, “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (Rauch) This grants the citizens from America the right to own and buy firearms. Since this amendment is vague, it comes down to

Supporters of gun control want more laws put in place to control buying and selling of firearms. They don’t believe having responsible, law-abiding citizens with guns makes anyone more safe. It is our constitutional right as Americans to bear arms. I agree with the opponents of gun control in that they believe “gun violence is the fault of the perpetrators of violent deeds, not the guns themselves” (Gun Control Laws). The saying has been repeated millions of times: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Society benefits from firearms in the hands of the right people, the responsible citizens who obtain their weapons legally. One alternative to gun control is law enforcement trying to get unregistered weapons off the street,

From other countries and in the eyes of foreigners and refugees, America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. With rights that are given to us, we are free to say anything we please; to not be searched or have things seized from us unreasonably; and the most important right, the one that defends all of the others, the right to keep and bear arms. Understanding the rights given by the 2nd amendment of our constitution has been a major issue in America, since the day it was written. This right lets us own our own weapons, and it should not be controlled by the government how many and what guns we can own. With modern technology, guns have become so much cheaper and accessible that some regulations must be put into place, and

In 2000, nearly 30,000 people died due to uncontrollable gun violence, even though the US has many gun laws. Gun control is now one of the main political issues because of all the shootings in the past decade. There have been many studies taken on gun control, which shows more gun-control decreases deaths with a gun involved.

With the highest rate of gun violence in the world, more than half of the United States citizens had long agreed that there was need to review the Gun Laws. From the time he took office for his Second Term, President Obama had proposed fresh Gun Control Rules that could have involved doing a background check on the every gun buyer. If it could have been passed into law, it could have prevented some of the worst gun violence incidences that American has witnessed in the past few years. But the Republicans could have none of it. They rejected the proposals until president decided to take executive orders and sign the proposals into

Gun control has become an increasingly controversial topic in the nation due to the continuous debates relating to gun control and whether or not laws should be passed to make it harder for guns to be obtained. Guns serve for a variety of purposes that range from good to bad. Guns are not for everyone. Some individuals cannot handle guns properly, and some choose to use guns inappropriately. Lately, guns have become more of a problem in our society. There has been an increasing amount of shootings that have taken many lives and have wounded people emotionally, not just physically. Although guns are used for protection, firearms are reportedly used more in crimes. More and more shootings are breaking out across the nation. As a result, the

For a nation as advanced as the United States the death of thousands of people each year is an issue affecting and concerning every American. With this problem occurring almost every year, the question of whether or not gun licenses can guarantee the safety of citizens throughout the country has been raised. With the number of deaths created by firearms each year, the need for enforcing stricter gun-control laws has grown increasingly. In addition, with the amount of fear throughout the country, and concern for protection, many people are beginning to buy firearms through simple and easy ways. Throughout America there are numerous ways for citizens to find and purchase weapons, whether it is in a gun store or online, the possibilities are endless.

Clint Eastwood once said, “I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.” Given all the gun violence that has happened over the last century, it has been shown that many people do not know how to control their own guns. In the year of 1364 the first record of use of a firearm was documented. Since then, hundreds upon hundreds of guns have been made. With that hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives from those guns. On September 17, 1787, the US Constitution was written as by-laws for the United States. On June 21, 1788, the constitution was ratified to include the second amendment, which allows a U.S. citizen the right to bear arms. In today’s society, the 21st century, there

After learning what has been going on in our world for the past three months, I can finally saw that we have a huge problem with crime. Everywhere everyday an innocent life is being taken away by cruel people. Majority of these crimes being committed are gun related. From 2013-2015, massacres have double in our country. People do not feel safe anymore, because there are heartless and insane people with guns right at their fingertips. Doesn’t the government see what is going on? Why are they not pushing towards creating stricter laws on who should own a gun? I personally think that people should only own a gun if it needed for their profession only, but we all know that would not happen anytime soon. Therefore, I suggest that if the governments

Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Guns are not the problem in today’s society. Criminals will kill regardless of gun control. Before guns were created, people were killing people. Yes a gun is a deadly weapon and yes people are killed from gun related incidents everyday, but guns do not have the ability to harm any one on their own. It is true that some of the largest mass murders have been shootings. Many tragedies have occurred because of one person with a gun (Refuting). However, those murderers would not have been stopped if a good guy with a gun didn’t stop them. If the police wouldn’t have stopped many of these killers, they would have continued to kill more people. It is known that many of these mass murders have occurred in gun-free zones. The Sandy Hook shooting happened on school grounds, Virginia Tech and Columbine also on school grounds, and Colorado movie theater shooting all

When it comes to gun control, It is hard for U.S. Senators to make laws stricter. It is because senators often have a hard time making those laws because those who already have guns because usually in states such as Texas the people say they do not want to give up "their rights.". Those who are fight back on those laws do not understand that the stricter law will not take away their guns but make it hard for people to obtain weapons. Nevertheless big gun companies like Smith & Wesson and NRA make a lot of profit from the purchases of guns, and they undoubtedly would be entirely against senators making gun laws stricter. Big Companies have a significant influence in helping to prevent from those laws. When a mass shooting happens in our country,
