The Constitution Shall Never Be Construed

     Are you willing to sit back and become a victim of violent crime or allow the government to tamper with your civil liberties? In recent years, anti-gun politicians have attempted to control guns in the name of crime prevention this is an assault on the Second Amendment rights of US citizens . The Second Amendment states, “ 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.” Not only did our Founding Fathers focus their debate on the right of people to keep and bear arms, they devoted energy to encouraging future generations to defend theses freedoms. In defense of gun ownership, Alexander Hamilton said, “If

But because the second amendment cannot be changed, the Government should focus on controlling gun violence instead of gun control. As soon as people start focusing on how to stop gun violence without taking away guns, the country will see a considerably fast decline of shootings. Many laws have already been made in the 19th and 20th century to try and stop gun violence. It all varies on each state and what laws they have in place as well. In states with low population densities like Alaska and Vermont citizens are allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a permit but at places like Washington, with the highest murder rates in the country, the citizens there cannot even own a handgun. Different states, have different laws, about guns and whether you can conceal or not conceal a weapon with a license. The second amendment protects people the right to own guns for protection and cannot be changed, but laws that are put in place for gun control can take away certain types of guns and where you have access to

On June 9, 2016 the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 7-4 that "[t]he right of the general public to carry a concealed firearm in public is not, and never has been, protected by the Second Amendment," thus upholding a law requiring a permitting process and "good cause" for concealed carry licenses in California.

Across the United States of America a debate rages on daily, that debate is whether or not to allow the public to obtain and operate firearms. The right to bear arms has been fused together with American culture for hundreds of years. Many advocates for gun control are against citizens of the United States being able to possess and operate firearms, even though it is a necessary evil and is a right of every man and woman across the country. Gun control in the United States is a dangerous topic but one that needs to be addressed. American citizens have the right to bear arms, and the evidence is there to prove that it can be done effectively and safely.

In response to these attacks, increasing numbers of Americans are feeling the need to arm themselves as a means of self defense. In response to the shooting in California, local gun shops are noticing roughly a 25% increase in business. Likewise, local Sheriff’s departments are experiencing a large increase in concealed carry permit requests. In Orange County, California, the Sheriff’s department received 130 permit requests in the week following the attack—up from their average of 30—while neighboring San Bernardino County screened seven times their weekly average (Mather). The increase in California gun sales shows that residents want the ability to defend themselves in the event of another shooting—an opportunity these residents would not have as a result of a ban on personal firearms.

Recent fire arm legislation has challenged the rights of every citizen in the state of California. Such legislation is paving the way for the confiscation of other amendments as well. Although, there are parties against the fight for guns; many do not realize the importance of people being able to protect themselves. Gun laws in California are becoming more restrictive, as a result these laws are costing innocent citizens their rights and even some lives.

In light of many recent mass shootings, like the shooting in San Bernardino, the topic of gun control and gun violence have been highly debated in the United States. Many state and local government have taken the responsibility into their own hands, placing bans on certain types of guns deemed most dangerous. This has sparked controversy in the U.S. because of the fact that the right to ?bear arms? is a 2nd Amendment right found in the constitution. The Supreme Court has only heard one case involving individual gun rights, District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), in which they ruled that the state and local government could not take away the individual right to own a gun. Despite the contradicting laws barring guns in certain locations and allowing guns in

I feel the Gun Free Zones takes that option away from them. Handguns bans do not stop criminals from getting guns, but they do prevent a good law-abiding citizen from buying a gun for self defense. If someone wants to buy a gun, the Internet has thousands of results that do not require background checks. I feel that each person who owns a gun is responsible for the way the gun is used. Gun permit holders have 1% firearm violations, and there are more than 8.5 million Americans, that can legally carry concealed handguns. Violence rates decrease when private citizens are armed and trained. I feel if you are a law-abiding citizen you should be able to buy a gun. If you have mental health issuers, I feel your doctor should report that to the government and be on the ban list like felons and illegal immigrants. They should not be allowed to purchase a gun of until they are received the proper treatment and fully released from care. I also feel our civil rights have been violated by our president . Obama forcing the American people to purchase healthcare, weather they

The second amendment supports the right to carry a concealed weapon in public. Responsible citizens should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon to defend themselves against criminals. Getting rid of it would not help us it would just disarm our law abiding citizens. Meanwhile criminals would still have their guns illegally. People get this because they it makes them feel safer when they are out in public. People have are less likely to be attached if they have protection. According to Thomson Reulers 75% of American citizens support law abiding citizens having a concealed carry permit. It is also important because police can’t always protect us. The average police response time is eleven minutes. Some take longer. In Detroit the average police response takes about 45 minutes. Richard Mack (the Sheriff of Arizona) said “police do very little to prevent crime. We invest more after the fact.” The court has also said that the police haven’t help a lot. We shouldn’t outlaw concealed carry because it would disarm our law abiding

On every news channel in the nation, the current controversy is whether the citizens of the United States should be put under more gun control or have more freedom to carry. Political parties, courts, and individuals have different viewpoints on the matter as a whole, but they fail to mention a few aspects. All states should recognize concealed carry gun laws because of the citizens constitutional right, the safety benefits, and the financial benefits that firearms bring to the United States.

“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.” The right of all Americans to bear arms is a right the Founding Fathers held to equal importance as the Constitution itself. Gun control laws directly violate this right and therefore should not even be under consideration. Even if that issue is overlooked, gun control advocates state that in order to reduce firearm related violence, gun control laws must be implemented to remove the violence caused by firearms. Although this may seem reasonable, the consequences of such laws are ironically counterproductive; they exacerbate the problem instead of fixing it. Besides the fact that the American

Everyone has a different opinion about the issue and what should be done to solve the problem, no matter what is done the main question is would restricting the ownership of firearms be a violation of our 2nd Amendment? Our rights are in place to protect our freedoms, but when is it permissible to infringe upon those rights for the protection of the common good? The standard which is in place simply states, that your rights are in place until exercising your rights violates other rights or places others in danger. Meaning that I have the freedom of speech but that does not allow me to yell fire in a movie theater because it would endanger the common good. So now that we understand that one person’s freedoms stop where another’s starts, the question is does owning a gun infringe upon other’s rights?

In the article “Chicago to allow handgun ownership under revised gun law” by Mark Guarino on July 1,2010 has enact a revised handgun ordinance by the U.S. Supreme Court that will jeopardized Chicago twenty eight year ban on handguns. In the article, “It establishes new rules that people who own guns are to register their firearms with the Chicago Police Department, they have to attend classroom and firing range training and they have to obtain both a special city permit and a state firearm identification card.” They want to ban all aspects of gun ownership in the home but we are protected by the Second Amendment. As stated in the article, “Guns are for self defense and self defense only.” People do have the right to own guns but the way to

Lately, as a nation, it seems that we can’t progress more than a month without hearing an incident on national news concerning a shooting. Every shooting that occurs is gaining the national media spotlight. This is prompting leaders and politicians around the country to call for further gun control to answer this current epidemic. Creating new gun laws is not the solution. This only creates extra problems with law-abiding citizens obtaining a firearm and infringing on their second amendment right of the United States constitution which states “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.” The second amendment may be viewed from different points or have various interpretations; although, this amendment gives law-abiding citizens of this country the right to own a firearm.

People of the United Sates should be able to carry a firearm in public places. The people should be able to carry a gun to protective themselves, their property, and their family. One government politician, Sen. Harry Ried said “he was now open to more gun control, observing that “something has to be one”. Another pro-gun politician Sen. Ted Cruz is for gun and own serval guns for protection of his home and family. Governor Rick Perry, a proud Texan and is a strong believer for all Texan to bear arms and keep that right. Rick Perry, has actually said “if the people of Texas lost the right, Texas and the US would separate”. As American, the bill of right protects us from the government talking away our guns, it is stated in the 2 amendment.
