The Importance Of Gun Control

Gun regulation has been a controversial topic since they were first established as a weapon. People for and against gun regulation provide strong arguments for their side. Gun regulation has fluctuated over time due to changes in office. Being a democracy prevents us from having consistency. As a nation we continue to change regulations on guns because of the different views our democracy allows us to have. The main aspects pose the most problems in gun control are violence, illegal sale of guns, and mental health checks.

We the people are forming this Declaration of Gun Rights and Control in order to shed light and encourage gun control and stop senseless violence. The purpose of the Declaration of Gun Rights and Control is to regulate and/or ban the manufacture, sale, possession and use of firearms by civilians. The reasons for creating this declaration includes the need to stop mass shootings to protect citizens, clarifying the second amendment of the Constitution so that it is not used as an excuse to “bear arms,” and saving lives because of regulation. The Declaration of Gun Rights and Control is needed to restrict gun ownership and protect our people. According to CNN, gun violence kills 90 Americans every day. This is the time for the families

The United States Gun laws need to be actively strengthened to protect and prevent harm against citizens by creating more thorough background checks, mental health checks, and more licenses specifically for different types of assault weapons. Several mass shootings have been caused by legally purchased guns caused by background checks without intensive research. With stricter gun laws harm and massive tragedies would be prevented or have more protection and safety. New laws and mandates would change the environment of gun safety and protection.

Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the United States yet in 2016 there were 762 gun related homicides, 3,550 shooting incidents, and 4,331 shooting victims. Despite strict gun laws Chicago had one of the deadliest years in history, so are the laws really working? Strict gun control does not mean that the amount of gun related crime will decrease. So, what is the point in making strict gun control laws?

The gun control debate has grown more heated than ever after the February 14th school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The question on everyone’s minds is, does America still need the second amendment? The answer may be yes, but it needs to be more restrictive than it is now. For example, one can buy an assault rifle when they are 18 but cannot drink or buy a handgun until they are 21 years old. Why can someone be able to buy an AR-15 when they are considered not mentally ready to consume alcohol? Why are ordinary citizens allowed to buy an assault rifle at all? Gun control should be more restrictive because studies have proven that America is far more prone to gun violence, which is most likely caused by Americans having an excess of firearms. However, the background check is not necessary.

- For decades gun control has always been a very controversial issue in America. The Second Amendment states it is an individual's right to bare arms and by having stronger laws on guns, that would only be taking their right away, However, we have seen violent crimes rise due to guns, we have seen many people lose their lives and get hurt. Americans should be for gun control because it can help prevent school shootings, stronger regulations can help stop gun loopholes, and stronger laws can make it harder for people that have a bad record to get a gun. With the enormous amount of violence in today's society, individuals need to take a stand demanding stricter regulations on guns.

When I think of a gun that looks amazing usually has a nice blue finish to the metal. That is not the only type of finish there is, but what is the reason behind finishing.

If not only with a time but also with skills. I think that’s about all we all could give.

Many would agree that there is a distressing amount of violence in America. Violence takes place in many forms, in different severities, and in many places. In an effort to continually make our society more civilized, ways to stop these violent acts from occurring are always being contemplated. There are many ways to approach the epidemic in America, but one that has increasing popularity is applying more strict gun control laws.

In the issue of gun control I stand myself in a positive standard. For some people the way I think, for them, could be negative. Every Single person has their own opinion about gun control, and I have mine also and here it is. I think gun control has being a big issue, for the United States.

The second amendment states, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”, and gun control is the set of laws and policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. Gun control is infringing upon the right of the people to own firearms. Therefore gun control is unconstitutional, and should not be stood for by the people of the United States. This country was founded to make all people free, and the second amendment was the founder's way of assuring that the American people would always remain free. Having gun control laws gives too much power to the government, and gives them too much control over civilian lives. Gun rights should be treasured by the

In the 2nd amendment, laws give us the right to hold guns for self-protection purposes. However, recent years shooting crimes are increasing which makes people start to consider the necessity of keeping the right to bear arms.

Gun safety is a huge factor in having and using a gun. Almost every shooter is taught the 12 Golden Rules. Many of those who are not, are the ones who illegally get their weapon or intend to use the weapon in a harmful way. The 12 Golden Rules are: one, always treat the gun as if it is loaded. Two, always keep the muzzle point in a safe direction. Three, always keep one’s finger off the trigger until one is ready to shoot. Four, always keep the gun unloaded until one is ready to use it. Five, never point the gun the gun at anything one does not tend to destroy. Six, be sure of what one’s target is and what is beyond it. Seven, learn the mechanical and characteristics of the gun one is using. Eight, always use the proper ammunition. Nine, be sure the barrel of the gun is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting the gun. Ten, if the gun fails to fire hold one’s position for a few seconds then carefully unload the gun with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Eleven, do not rely on the gun’s safety to keep it from firing. Twelve, be aware of one’s surroundings when handling a loaded gun so they do not trip and/or lose their balance, and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything they do not intend to (Magtech Ammunition 1). These rules are hung up at every range, can be found almost anywhere, and are taught in every self-defense, hunting, and gun education class.
