Summary Of Gun Control

I found two fallacy in Gun Control Non Sequiturs article by Jacob Sullum. Would the government like to stop guns trafficking? The article was slippery slope fallacy if there’s no limit on the guns a person can purchase at one time; the legal guns gets into the hands of gangs which are a uncontrollable chain of dangerous people that participate in gun violence. When reading the article I notice the appeals to emotions fallacy. I came across many negative emotion and violate words; but no steps or ways to close the loophole on controlling unlicensed gun sellers and more information on how “gun free zone” would stop gun

Craig Williams Kate Simonsen ENG 112 82PR 03 November 2015Guns Don’t Kill but People Do!Many decades ago, the founders of America escaped from England to escape the strict rules that were being forced on them by their rulers. The men of this new found land convened to discuss their rules and rights to run their newly created government. They create a bill declaring the basic rights that every man in the country could have. Some of the basic rights that were created was the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, free speech. One of the most important rights created was the right to keep and bear arms.  However, in these times of increased violence with guns, many people in America believe that the possession of guns is

In Hitler’s Table Talk, 1941-1944: His Private Conversations, Adolf Hitler was recorded as stating “The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty” (Hitler, Cameron, Stevens, Trevor-Roper, 2000). The matter of gun control in America has long since been a rather controversial issue, with individuals on the left and right passionately voicing their opinions for their cause. Gail Collins and Michael A. Schwartz both address the matter of gun control in their respective New York Times and San Diego Union Tribune opinion articles, but they each do so in drastically dissimilar approaches.

In last time, our live characterized the problems not only in the political, social and economic spheres, but also criminal sphere. Crime in the United States remains one of the main problems of the country. Every year, 6 million Americans become a victims of crime, murders occur every 24 minutes, rape occur every 5 minutes, robbery occur every 54 seconds. Life becomes dangerous and we need to be able to protect your family by yourself, your business, your property. Therefore so many people thinking about to buys guns and to have guns at home. In addition, the gun is freedom. We live in a free country. And a free people should be able to have a gun. Although some argue that “Guns should be banned in the United States.” I disagree with this statement. I against banning guns, for three reason: the possibility to defend of sexual abuse, self-defense, defense of their children or property and legal gun ownership reduces crime.

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” (LaPierre 10). Gun control is a problem throughout the U.S. Most people just want to know they’re safe where they live with good people around them. Nobody should be scared to walk out of their house or go to the store. People should not be disallowed to buy guns for protection. While some people are good gun owners, there should be a whole process in buying guns such as; background checks, home checks, the reason for buying it and why.

Many people have various views on the subject of public arms ownership, as owning a gun not only allows a person to be able to protect himself or his family, but also be able to commit crimes that could have been prevented if there had been effective controls against arms bearing. The ownership of arms by the general public has been a common political topic for argument for many years now, where a segment of the society supports the right of every common man to own a gun primarily for the purposes of self defense, while another segment pushes for more controlled laws for such ownership as common people must not have accessibility to firearms without increased

Gun control is a major issue today in the United States. Lately the parties that lean more toward the left have been harping on ‘ARs’ which they mistakenly state as assault rifles, while in fact the proper term is ArmaLite rifle, the company that first developed the style of firearm. All over the country some states are attempting, and in some cases, succeeding to ban high capacity magazines and semi-automatic firearms. These firearms are often used for hunting, target shooting, and self defense. The pressing matter of firearm safety and restriction is because of the recent mass murders in Aurora, CO and Newtown, CT. These are not a cause of lax gun laws, it is a fact that murder, insanity, and violence are embedded into the human nature. The problem is violent criminals, thugs, and murderers roam amongst us. When a pack of wolves surrounds a moose in the wild, no one denies that moose the right to use their hooves and antlers to fend off the predator. There are some politicians in this country that would deny Americans the same right of self defense against criminals. In fact, it is as if the same politicians assume that completely removing the antlers from the moose would simply make the wolves go away. If you make it easier for the predators, you will get more predators. The simple fact is that stricter restrictions on firearms, rifles, and high capacity magazines will only hinder the law abiding citizens here in America.

As I left the patio, I thought about Dad’s friend, Luc. He was a hunter and a fisherman, and I asked him once why he didn’t have the bumper sticker ‘Guns don’t kill. People do.’ He said because it was a lie. Guns gave people the courage to commit crimes or kill. I told Samuel Luc’s story. He thought for a moment and said that’s why Americans fear gun laws. They’re afraid if they lose their guns, they will lose their courage.

Let's say it is late and you are home alone, as you start to settle down for the night someone with malice shows up on your proterty. You are now under attack. In this situation you have two options, to either go for your gun and protect yourself, or make a break for the phone and wait for the cops to show up while your life is at risk. Now let’s say the enemy is not just a simple robber but a murder. If you went for the phone the cops will not show up in time before the murderer has his way and you are killed. But if you went for your gun you have have the upper hand. You live to see another day. But let’s say that gun control laws are passed and you no longer have the option to live. The government has taken away your right to live. Does that not sound wrong to you? Guns are essential for household safety, so much so that 64% of people who live in a house where someone owns a gun says that they feel

With this statement, the founders of this country explicitly and perpetually guaranteed the American individual the right to keep and bear arms. An incomparably crucial element of this country‘s origins, the Second Amendment and the rights it guarantees have proved vital to the growth and success of our nation. Self-protection is one of the most common reasons for wanting to own firearms. It unconstitutional to take away a right that the Second Amendment specifically states shall not be taken away ("Gun Control”). American citizens have the right to protect their family and their homes, two of the most important things in life. In addition, a society with no guns means the government can do whatever it wants. Adolf Hitler took away guns from the Jewish people during his reign of power in Europe; the constitution states that guns are “necessary to the security of a free state” and Hitler did not want a free state, he did not want them to fight back. Same goes for Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin and other leaders like them. Guns are necessary to for the people to have, to make sure the government is kept in line. The founding fathers wanted citizens to be able to own guns to make sure that the people are in charge (Faria). What if the government becomes tyrannical or does not protect the citizens’ rights? Total anarchy would rise if the government tried to take over an unarmed people. It's supposed to be government for the people, by the people; How is the

It states that having a concealed handgun is legalized in all fifty states as of 2013. The last state to enact thus legislation was illnois. But, some states required gun owners to obtain permits though other states do not entail permits. Supporters of concealed handgun say that criminals are less likely to attack someone they believe to be armed. They refer to the 2nd Amendment's "right of the people to keep and bear arms," and claim that most adults who legally carry a concealed gun are law-abiding citizens and they tend to do use firearms wisely. The adversaries of concealed gun reason that ascension of gun ownership leads to further gun crime and unintentional gun injuries. They resist that concealed handguns upsurge the chances of opinions becoming fatal, and that society would be safer with fewer guns on the street.

In the United States, some states allow guns on college and university campuses; others don’t in the United States. Some states allow guns on campus; others don’t accept to bring. In United State there are three types of laws regarding guns on campus in the various states: mandatory, institutional, or non- permitted. Mandatory means people are always allowed to bring firearms on campus. Generally, firearms should be allowed in the campus or in the publicly funded institution. Institutional means campus can choose to allow firearms, but school-gun policy generally does not have the power of law. Most of these states have been banned by the use of a few exclusions. Non- permitted mean there is a total ban on guns. In recently the law of Georgia was changed to allow bringing concealed weapons to college campus to use guns in college campus. The campus carry is not a good law. The law should be changed because it was protective to use guns in campus. It should not be safe to walk through the campus

The U.S. government until this day, debates whether individuals should have the right to own guns. Owning a gun could be used for protection, although, guns should have some sort of restrictions, people who have a record of mental illness should not be allowed to own a gun and being a certain age to own a gun is necessary. To make a change and reduce the risks of death, the laws should be specific and strict. Because this is a big issue, buying a gun is worth for protection. However, individuals like civilians should only be allowed to own guns if they go through a strict screening process run by the government before hand or some may use in a violent way.

In the article Get a Knife, Get a Dog, But Get Rid of Guns, Molly Ivins argues against ownership of guns and suggests that knives and dogs should replace guns. According to the article, ownership of guns by civilians is not justifiable and that the Second Amendment does not imply that ordinary citizens should own guns. As seen in the article, there have been several discussions regarding gun control with some supporting gun ownership while others supporting gun control. In this essay it will be argued that civilians should own guns for their protection and security and because the Second Amendment supports gun ownership.

Guns are an iffy subject whether we should ban them or not. Makes sense to ban them, Right? Wrong. Guns are needed to protect people, keep animal's carrying capacity just right, and help the police. "A gun in the hands of a bad man is a very dangerous thing. A gun in the hand of a good man is a no danger to anyone except the bad guys"(Charlton Heston) Guns are extremely useful tools. "Gun control means being able to hit your target. If I have a 'hot button' issue, this is definitely it. Don't even think about taking my guns. My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment." (Micheal Badnarik) They shouldn't be labeled as a weapon, a pencil could be a weapon.
