The Gun Control Law

Lupica, Mike. "Shame on U.S.: How Many Tiny Coffins Do We Need Next Time?" New York

Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British. But now as the gun shooting problem happening every day in America, this gun control problem has gradually become to a hot issue. Compare to other countries like Britain, Canada, Japan, China, the difference between U.S. and those countries is in these countries to get a firearm is a very difficult thing

Gun violence has gotten out of hand. People are able to get them and use them on others with little to any resistance. Although many people think the laws should be changed to fit this generation, it’s harder than it sounds. It takes a lot of thought and agreement to amend laws. Even if they could be amended to being stricter, all citizens wouldn't be willing to follow them. Stricter gun control laws, which would be difficult to agree on, would not be effective in controlling gun ownership/availability and would be hard to enforce.

Gun control is the set of laws or policies that regulate the sale, manufacture, transfer, possession, modification, and/or use of firearms by civilians. Are the United States’ current laws for gun control effective? Is the U.S. in need of reform or enactment of new laws? Alarming statistics indicate that the status quo is ineffective. Gun control laws in the US should be stricter and uniform since there are an unusually high quantity of gun-related incidents in the U.S.. Additionally, countries that have more rigorous gun control are shown to have drastically lower gun-related death rates. Through stricter gun control, we may protect the country and its future generations from people who should not be able to obtain firearms.

What could be done to reduce gun violence in the United States, by comparing gun control laws with other countries to see weather or not gun laws are effective? I feel comparing gun control laws between other countries to see how their laws are in effect with lowering gun violence, so we could get a better understanding on what we could do as a country to help reduce gun violence or to see if gun control is even affective.

would find a way to obtain a firearm regardless of the law. Crime rate does not originate from the accessibility of guns, but rather the actions of an individual that has disregard for life in today 's society. There will always be ways for the offender commit crimes with or without guns.

This week in our reading we focused on Chapter 1 of the SSM 200 course text, Gun Laws and Legislation. While this isn’t the most exciting subject to be reading about it’s an area ANYONE in the firearms industry needs to be well educated in. With the current political environment having so many anti-gun players shaping and forming red tape, violating any laws/regulations can have very serious legal ramifications.

The second amendment in the constitution has given American citizens the “right to bare arms”. Laws have been placed to restrict firearm ownership and rules have been set if you do own a firearm. Does placing these laws of ownership stop the crime or protect the citizens? These questions have been asked by many citizens and lawmakers when creating laws regarding gun control. However, the debate on gun control is nothing new. In 1924, Presidential candidate, Robert La Follete said, “Our choice is not merely to support or oppose gun control but to decide who can own which guns under what conditions.” This debate has been brought up multiple times still in modern day due to no one settling on laws regarding ownership of a firearm. Statistic rates show gun control laws in fact do work, so why haven’t law officials put these into act? School shootings are happening more; fear is being driven into citizens as they go about their daily life. Gun control laws need to be enforced by law officials in order to control the harm guns can bring to citizens.

Firstly, with the regulation of guns, everyday liberties could be in jeopardy. When Adolf Hitler took over Germany, he “banned gun ownership for the Jews” (Root, 2). The Jews were a targets for German hatred and as a result he purposely left them defenseless in a world of violence. With no weapons, they could not fight back against the troops, which then further enabled Hitler to dominate them without worries of a retaliation. If Americans were granted strict gun control laws, who is to say those with guns would not further oppress those they deem as unworthy or useless? Who is going to stop them from crushing the innocent like simple roaches who wonder in the filth of our homes? Everyone puts up front, a front that may fake the feeling of

I think guns should be legal for law abiding citizens. Law abiding citizens should be able to own a gun. They would protect themselves and their families. Americans who own a gun should take a safety course. They can learn how to use the weapons properly.

Gun laws have become the hot topic over recent months because permits to carry a concealed weapon are in most states no longer needed. Criminal uprisings and terrorist attacks in the past two decades have had a extreme influence on the people of America. And many have realized that local, state, and federal government is unable to protect the masses when disaster strikes. People are now more aware of the crime in their own communities than in past because of our new technologies. So, many millions of Americans have taken their own security measures.

Israel has had a very complicated history filled with wars and conflict since its establishment in 1948. The constant need to safeguard the nation against potential invasions from surrounding Arab nations means that self-defense is always high on the agenda for the state of Israel. Constant wars throughout its 67 years in existence means that tensions are always high and this can easily be seen in its foreign policy but what about its domestic firearms policies? Israel presents an interesting case that shows how firearms policy, when executed well, can be a suitable example for other countries to follow. In this paper I will analyze the effectiveness of Israeli’s contemporary firearms policies and examine how its rugged history shaped this

Based on a research of Brady campaign with the increase level of criminal activities specially increase usage of uncontrolled guns and in order to control gun usage, some of the states issued State gun laws to fill the gaps in the federal laws and keep citizens safe. These laws can help to keep gun out of the hands of dangerous people and help low enforcement in decreasing gun crimes. Most of the states with strong gun law have the lowest rates of gun death. (figure 1)

As the city manager of a local city and member of the legislative body, action for local gun control ordinance is being enforced. The local government body are normally responsible for enforcing firearm regulation. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is putting our communities and families at risk by forcing an extremely dangerous policy called “concealed carry reciprocity”. It forces our state to abide by the weakest gun laws in the nation and once adopted there is nothing the state will be able to do with it. In the United States, gun control (or firearms regulation) is the set of laws or policies giving the right to keep and bear arms, originated in the common law right of self-defense. However, if our local government allow the NRA

The new legislature that recently passed in Texas allows gun owners who are licensed to conceal carry (C.C. for short) the ability to have their concealed gun on their person while they are on the college campus including the ability to carry indoors. There are many concerns regarding gun laws, safety, and control that are making their way into the spotlight as a result of these new laws for gun owners. Given the fact that the right to carry a weapon is purely for protection of yourself, your family and your community there is no reason that guns should be restricted from being carried in any given environment, however there is good reason to place restrictions on who might be able to obtain one. Many of the concerns surrounding gun safety revolve around a number of statistics that are used by different groups in order to fuel their individual agendas. My intention here is to look at the laws and restrictions in Texas and to compare the rates of gun violence (including murder, suicide and accidents) to other states and countries in order to show you as a reader how responsible gun usage is a benefit to the community as well as to the individual and should be encouraged more than it is feared because it ensures not just personal safety, but the safety and liberty of our nation.
