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.

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?

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. When I thought about it before the only thought that came to mind is, to help protect the gun along with the price of the gun would go up. Everyone is looking to make a dollar somehow. If not only with a time but also with skills. I think that’s about all we all could give.

The NRA is a prime target of modern gun-control activists. They seem to be the ones taking the blame for the numerous school shootings. The NRA-ILA has on its website an excerpt from Article 1, Section 26 of our State Constitutional Provision, which states, “Every citizen has a fundamental right to bear arms in defense of himself or herself and the state.” If we changed this law, it would take away one of the primary means of self-defense. Not everyone is in perfect shape to where they can manhandle themselves out of a situation if need be, meaning that they would need an upper hand, which they could find in a firearm. This shows that the NRA is not to blame for these shootings, it is the human that looks down the barrel. Maybe, just maybe, there are other ways to prevent more school

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. Strict gun laws are viewed by many to be a step in the right direction, but they are actually a potential danger to the citizens of the United States.

Restrictions are rules or limitations that are put in place to keep order. Restrictions have kept our country safe for years. For example, the drinking age for all U.S. residents is twenty-one years old. Imagine the risk of having a younger age or not having one at all. Also, alcohol is only sold Monday through Saturday and during certain times of the day. If restrictions were not in place there would be more accidents and deaths occurring every day. Strict gun control laws are needed to reduce the number of mass shootings.

Throughout history, there have been many gun related crimes all around the world. Guns are a big part of our Countries history -- most of America’s turning point battles were decided with firearms. When America gained its independence, they fought with guns; when America was attacked at Pearl Harbor, we turned to guns in order to seek vengeance. Without guns, we would not have won half the battles our Country fought in; without guns, our Country would not have a successful military. But because of guns, there are also tragedies where many citizens have been killed in shootings all around America. Because of this, guns have been seen as a tool of evil, and that only evil people use them for crimes. A side effect of gun violence in

The discussion of bearing arms has been prominent in American history since the writing of the Bill of Rights. Many believe that having the right to bear arms is part of their national identity. It is something that most tend to hold close to their hearts. According to the Washington Post, it was reported in 2015 that about 43% of American families had guns in their homes and/or on their properties (Washington Post, 2016). But should individuals be able to carry guns everywhere? The “Gun Free School Zones Act” of 1990 ensures that the areas in and around school buildings and facilities are gun free (article 1). The repeal of this act would create a variety of issues for the society such as an increase in gun related violence and child safety.

Gun violence is the common issue in the United States that is kept growing. As an American people have right to own a gun for safety and protection reason but many people take advantage of it. The right to own the gun allows many dangerous people to harm other peoples through the deadly weapon. The rate of shooting death is rapidly increasing in past few decades. The legislative branch needs to adopt stronger gun laws to reduce shooting deaths without the violation of the Constitution.

Gun control is currently a big issue in America. What is gun control? Gun control is the addition of new gun laws or improving existing ones. America is split between people who are gun control supporters and people are against gun control. People who are gun control supporters believe guns cause many problems for America and believe there should be more laws and restrictions placed on guns. People who are against gun control believe guns are very important to American and its history and believe that it would be destructive to take them away.

Some people believe that it is our right to own a gun because of the Second Amendment, while other people believe that owning a gun is harmful to the society. There should be no new gun control laws. The Second Amendment states, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms.” The controversy with guns in this country is that all they are is dangerous, but there is so much more to them. For example there is bullseye shooting, which is only shooting at targets, and no one gets hurt. There is so many good reasons on why you should be able to have a gun so the US shouldn’t make new laws.

As a country there are less than 350 million people, yet there are more than 310 million guns are in people’s hands (Granderson1). With so many guns in this country, this has lead to a devastating event that occurred on December 14, 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary School located at the state of Connecticut. On this day, twenty young innocent children and six adults were killed by a twenty year old teen, Adam Lanza, who took his mom’s gun and fired at them while the kids were in school (Conservative Media Take Up Call To Arm Teachers 1). After the massacre shooting, many people in America question whether or not if teachers being armed could have prevented this tragedy and in the in the future if there will be a similar situation to this. To avoid anymore gun violence from happening in the future, many lawmakers in the state of Oklahoma, Oregon, Missouri, Montana, and South Dakota have decided to give permission to teachers to

Gun control is something that Americans have to deal with everyday. 40% of all Americans said that there was a gun inside of their home. 57% say that there should be a major gun law. 91% say there should at least be a minor gun law. The United States does not need more gun control.

The ability to own guns is a privilege, not a right. Once a person or group of persons has abused their privilege, they do not deserve to carry on without a reduction or disbandment of the privilege. Gun control needs to be stronger to protect the people of the United States, to protect people from themselves and so much more. Constitutionally, gun control is legal and should be enforced due to the recklessness of the people.
