The Gun Control Law

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

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.

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.

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.

As the population increases its stocks on firearms, a significant number of citizens are at risk of being harmed. According to statistics, “In 2000, almost 30,000 persons died from firearm injuries in the United States more than the number of deaths from, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse… [in spite of] almost 20,000 laws and regulations regulating gun usage to some degree” (Kwon and Baack). Though several individuals are in fear of losing guns as weapons for protection, a greater number of laws will continue to be useful in maintaining the security of citizens upon significant new laws addressing gun control. Although the existence of guns is necessary to protect the constitutional right to bear arms, gun control laws are beneficial in helping to reduce violence, decrease the homicide rate, and prevent accidents from around the globe. New gun control laws should be enforced to ensure the safety of the entire population, and most importantly to prevent any gun violence as necessary to help save the lives of the innocent.

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.

The Sandy Hook incident that took place in Newtown, Connecticut has caused a lot of people to rethink about the second amendment and even go on to alter it. A lot of people think that the availability of weapons for people is the reason for these shootings. It now appears that the cause that re started this entire episode which was the Sandy Hook incident will not be fixed by what the democrats are proposing as a solution will not be solved. It appears that the weapons Adam Lanza obtained from his shooting were actually his mother. Lanza's mother purchased the gun in accord with the Connecticut laws. It appears that the restrictive legislation that has been suggested for this state would still not reduce his access to them. Gun control basically refers to the various means of probation or restrictions on keeping weapons with a person. These restrictions look over not only the possession of firearms, but on the transport and use of them.

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.

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

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

In 1968, the “Gun Control Act” was passed for a specific purpose which was “keeping firearms out of the hands of those not legally entitled to possess them because of age, criminal background, or incompetence.” The Act was made particularly to control imported guns, expand some requirements on the gun-dealer licensing and record keeping, and to place specific limits on sale of handguns. In 1977 the District of Columbia passed an anti-handgun law which required that all rifles and shotguns within its district should be registered. Just like these, there are many more laws that have been passed through the years, so that the government can have more “control” over the people buying guns, and using them. The most recent case filed was in June

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

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.

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.
