The Battle Of The Second Amendment

America is known as the land of opportunity, freedom, fast food, and raging numbers of gun violence. According to Mass Shooting Tracker there has been about 367 shootings so far since the year started (Mass Shooting Tracker). This is outrageous considering that in other countries, gun shooting numbers don 't even reach a two-digit number. Far too many people have been victims of these unregulated weapons, claiming lives and ripping families apart. There is no safe place from these assault weapons, no movie theater, night club, church, or school. American’s must deal with the fact that any unsuited person is legally allowed to purchase a weapon with the weak regulations we currently have. Assault weapons have been damaging for this country and it 's time to change the laws. Gun regulations and laws need to be stricter to make it harder for individuals to purchase guns to prevent any future tragedies from happening.

Importantly, the whites were against the passing of the 15th Amendment, because it gave every man the right to vote regardless of race or colour. They believed that giving inferior Blacks the right to gain a good education and the right to vote was an outright insult to white supremacy. This led to the formation of a secret white terrorist group known as the Ku Klux Klan. This group tried everything including extreme and inhumane violence, to prevent Blacks from voting and from enjoying the benefits of being a free people. Its members were determined to preserve and secure the supremacy of the white race; for this reason, they lynched, assaulted, frightened, killed, and antagonized Blacks (Smith 123).

What if an individual could acquire a gun like you buy a pair of shoes whatever size or color you want? Could you imagine what it would be like? The mere thought of every person in the city walking around with guns is frightening. That will be the United States if Congress does not put stricter policies in place to control the situation. When looking at the news, or reading the paper or even surfing the web you will see overwhelming statistics. According to the USA Gun Violence Statistics, More than 30,000 people are killed by firearms each year in this country and More than 30 people are shot and murdered each day, 1/2 of them are between the ages of 18 and 35 and 1/3 of them are under the age of 20. Gun violence has caused terror and fear across the country due to the attacks on innocent people like Sandy Hook Elementary, where a 20 year old killed 20 children and 6 adults, a Shooting Frenzy at Fort Hood in 2009, or the movie goer who was shot and killed for texting in the movie theater, and Jordan Davis who was shot while in his car at a gas station in Jacksonville Florida, and we will never forget the massacres at Columbine and Virginia Tech. How many more people will have to die or become injured in these senseless acts of violence before changes are made to this problematic situation? Innocent individuals are being gun down for no apparent reasons. Enough is enough; I’m not saying that we should completely do away with the right to “Bear arms”; but the policies

Guns are one of the most controversial and debated-upon topics in America today. In the Constitution, Americans are given “the right to bear arms,” and many Americans are proud of and believe strongly in that right. Though, that right has been constantly misused. Homicides by gun are at a higher rate in the United States than any other country in the world, mass shootings are at an all time high (many of which have occurred in the past two years alone), and terrorism has been at an all-time high. So, naturally, it is a topic that needs to be discussed. In the articles Change Your Gun Laws, America (1), author Fareed Zakaria provides the readers with some harrowing statistics on guns and insight over how the U.S. laws on guns need to be managed.

After reviewing the given information from Ms. Bennett, there is a strong possibility the court will find the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights were not violated. The Fourth Amendment states:

In the United States, there is a mass shooting that kills four or more people every twenty-three hours. Gun violence has risen to epidemic proportions. The United States has allowed guns to become so easily accessible that in four out of five states anyone, even someone without a gun license, can buy an unregistered firearm from a private vendor. It has also become incredibly easy to be approved for a gun in most states. Currently it is more difficult to get a driver's license, even with extensive testing, than it is to own a firearm. We, as a nation, cannot expect to progress far if we don't even moderately control the flow of firearms that is flooding into the streets. We have the capacity to fix this and create a safer country for everyone.

Firearms is biggest topic in media in 2016. We see ads all the time of “ Government Restrictions” or “ Government Takes Away Guns” and this scares us as American people. Guns are given to us by the Second Amendment created in 1719 by the founding fathers. The founding fathers had their reasons to create such a powerful right that would change the United States forever.

Our country has always believed in a citizens right to own a gun. It is a principle that is so important to our country, that it is listed as the second of twenty-seven constitutional amendments. Gun control is a subject of great controversy that carries many true and false claims. Many people believe our second amendment rights are being attacked, and that the government wants to take our guns away. It is my belief that Obama does not want to take our guns, but future administrations may use laws made today to do just that in the future. As more gun related tragedies occur in our country, the question has become "How can we reduce gun violence in our county?", as opposed to "How can we take

Have you heard of the many recent shootings that have happened throughout all of America? It’s unacceptable and there are flaws in our system that allow people to get guns when they shouldn’t. Issues such as loopholes, mentally ill accessing guns, and weak gun laws.

In america guns have been a part of the country’s since its birth. Throughout history the citizen of u.s have used firearms to protect the nation, protect their families, hunt for food and engage in sporting activities. Gun control is a hot button issue especially in the make of so many recent, tragic mass shooting. Stricter gun control is a must in are economic today.

The feeling of insecurity, and the need for all of us to defend and protect ourselves, our families, and all what we consider as precious to us, is the main factor that drives most of us to believe that we should own a gun, or a weapon in general, to get the feeling of security that we miss. Do you know how many people own guns in the United States? A statistic claims that the proportion between people who own guns in the United States to the population of the United States is almost 1:1. Therefore, we can say that there is a gun for each individual in the United States (Wikipedia 11/23). Certainly, it is a high proportion. At the same time that guns are used as a means of self-defense, they are involved in a high proportion of murders. Dear student, using guns in our lives to protect ourselves is dangerous habit. We should instead regulate the control over guns.

The United States has fought many wars in its history and continues to fight at home. Although there has not been an actual war in our mainland since the American Civil War of 1861, our longest war has been within our communities and laws, an enduring war against guns and its violence. The noise of gunshots may sound different in a military warzone between nations, radical groups or in a civil war; however, a similar outcome subsists, the loss of lives caused by man made guns. As technology advances, armory production methods progress and with it, the opinion over gun control policy continues to expand. There are many Americans who think our gun control policy is a weakened and damaged one that is allowing the average individual to obtain firearms and more military style armory. These Americans blame guns as the causal element for all violence being experienced in this country, and call for a more strict policy control and even possible eradication of fire arms in our society. Would taking all guns from American public prevent gun deaths from continuing to happen? Would a more strict control policy help end criminal activity? Lastly, is the controlling of our guns, a violation of our Unites States (U.S.) Constitution? This is a debate that has been ongoing for years and arguments in this research indicate that guns themselves are not the issue and it will not be possible to stop criminal activity if gun control is increase therefore, the idea

As we all know, guns as a whole have been a controversial issue for people from all walks of life. One side feels that guns should be legalized and the other side that feels guns should be completely illegal. When someone is in a dangerous situation, he or she should have the right to defend his or herself. However, if one is against guns, how is that person going to be able to defend him or herself? Because of this, I am a huge proponent of guns when it comes down to being in a dangerous situation. What some people fail to realize are the reasons why people need a gun in the first place. Some argue that guns kill people and the misuse of guns is growing at an alarming rate. The way I see it, people kill

There has always been conflict around the world whether it was with spears or arrows, so when guns were invented they were just another weapon that could be used for protection and fighting. Guns have been changing over time starting from bamboo tubes and handheld cannons then evolving into the automatic firearms we are very familiar with today. The first record of guns was in 1364 and in the 1400s when the first guns could shoot out bullets was created. Guns have been improving over time and are now extremely dangerous killing machines. In 1791 The United States Bill of Rights stated that all people had the right to keep and carry around firearms, at this time the US had many guns. Allowing this law made civilians feel safe like they could defend themselves when needed by what the United states wasn’t addressing was how out of hand people can get when in possession. In 1865 many US states introduced a law called black codes which banned black people from possessing any guns causing immense outrage so in 1866 it was passed. February 14,1929 members from the Al Capone dressed up as policemen waited for their rival gang to show up; once they did they shot them dead. This brutal killing was known to be St. Valentine's Day Massacre. (for it happened on Valentine's day). In 1934 a legislation was composed to enforce new criminal discipline. Together setting regulations on a variety of guns; that has been a huge focus after the bloody gun violence that Al Capone and Bugs Moran has gone through. Four years later in 1938 new laws were added to the National Firearms Act. One of them included, STRICTLY monitoring the records and transactions of ammunition trade especially first time traders. In 1990 the law finally makes schools gun free zones shortly after one of the deadliest mass shooting in a school. Many years later in 2004 there was a decision to make buying guns even quicker and easier through fingerprinting. Only ten years later in 2007 the United Stated had over 5 times the amount of guns than australia. Guns are now allowed to be legally brought into national parks and zoos.

Since the discovery of fire, the gun has been the most versatile tool available to man. Guns have been making hunting easier and have enabled civilizations to worry about more than just feeding the population. Guns have also changed the nature of warfare beginning with European and Asian clashes of power. Also, a gun is the most effective way to protect one’s family and home not from just criminals but foreign powers. Unfortunately, guns now have become the enemy of the American people. Today a person walks down the street with an open carry firearm, and people give that person a wide berth as if that person is more dangerous than a Siberian tiger. Guns should be referred to as they truly are: a tool for honest people.
