The Pros And Cons Of Gun Control Laws

With an increase in the number of mass shootings that have occurred in the United States in the last few years the issue of gun control laws has become a prevalent topic of debate throughout American society. This debate stems from two opposing arguments over gun control. Some feel gun control laws are fair and not the contributing factor to these mass shootings, whereas, others feel that there is an urgent need for strict laws in order to end the problem of mass shootings. There are numerous pros and cons to the enforcement of stricter gun control laws but we must note a few things: stricter gun control laws would interfere with the second amendment, it is not the gun that kills it is the individual, and it is ultimately not laws that are

What gun control laws are going to help stop mass shootings? Even if the government banned the sale of assault rifles and guns in general,people with bad intentions are going to purchase them illegally. In the three recent mass shooting that caused many deaths, the shooters got their guns illegally with no trace of the sale on these weapons. Sandy Hook,Columbine,and San Bernardino were all mass shootings where the shooters got their guns illegally, stole the gun from family members or other people, and caused a lot of danger and harm to people. There would be no regulations to stop them because even if there were stricter gun laws, they still would be able to purchase their guns illegally.Stricter gun laws will not prevent crime,people will still get illegal firearms,and no sales to the public will reduce revenue.

Gun control laws should be strictly enforced because individuals can take advantage of the relaxed enforcement and harm others.

Gun Control is very controversial many people believe that there is nothing wrong with the gun control laws in place right now. The Republican Party and The Democratic Party has different views on Gun Control. Many tragedies have occurred such as school and mass shootings. This year gun-related shootings have increased. The Second Amendment is the right to bear arms which can be interpreted differently by others. Specifically, the 2nd 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. Gun Control Laws should be strict throughout all states in order to insure the safety of others.

Following the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, lawmakers have begun reconsidering the gun laws that are currently in place. Many states have previously implemented “red flag laws” (Johnson 2). However, after the recent events, lawmakers are debating on whether or not those laws are enough. Of course, to most people, stronger gun control laws seems like an obvious decision, but it is not that easy. Gun control laws are complicated. It is a “balancing act in the United States between public safety and the right to bear arms” (Mueller 2). Lawmakers must carefully balance the safety and constitutional rights of citizens. This is difficult to do when everyone has different values and points of view.

Here we go again. Another argument on gun laws and why they should or shouldn't be made stricter in the US. The two sides of this argument have been going back and forth since the tragic shooting on February 14th, 2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida. This school shooting has triggered a massive disagreement on the two sides and people are not giving up on their opinions. Some people believe gun laws are just fine as they are, while others think gun laws should be stricter, like myself. Both sides of this argument have reasonable, valid points and it’s up tp the reader and their opinion to decide which side to take.

Gun Politics in the U.S. are defined by two distinct groups: those who are for tighter if not outright ban on guns. And those who want to preserve every American’s rights to bear Arms under the second amendment. This of course led to disagreements when it came to the interpretation of laws and court cases related to firearms. Among other things related to the issue, like the effects gun control has on crime and the public safety (Rozsa, 2017). Debates regarding the access to firearms by the general populous and gun violence in the United States have been characterized by the concerns about the rights to bear arms and the responsibility of the government to serve the needs of its citizens. Such as the prevention of crime and

As gun violence spreads as a controversial issue around our society, many people have different views on what actions should be taken to control this world wide issue. Some people believe that more laws should be created to stop gun violence. But there are many others who believe that guns are not the problem and the stricter gun laws will only affect law-abiding people from having them. More gun laws will become irrelevant and will not work efficiently against crime.

Over the years there have been many debates about whether or not gun control is a good solution for the United States. As a result, two very distinct sides have formed: one for gun control and one against it. Recently, the pro gun control side has argued that the many school shootings were partly a result of our country’s minimal gun control. To many this may seem like a reasonable argument, but in reality it is an overgeneralization; there are many other factors that play a part in horrific events like school shootings. Those against gun control have argued that gun control laws are a violation of citizen’s constitutional rights often saying things like, “to take away the right to have guns is no different from the attempt of the British to “disarm” the colonists during the Revolutionary War” (Hanson 68). But which side is right? Many would say that neither side is completely correct, but when the facts are presented it is obvious that gun control is not a good solution because “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”, self-defense is the number one reason for owning a gun, and because the gun control laws that are being instituted do not work (Zimring 13).

Gun control is perhaps one of the most controversial issues in this country but seemingly not so strong in others. The debate has been present since before the bloody birth of the United States. It was, however, not as pressed then as it is now. There are several factors that contribute to this growing debate. Among such arguments include: the use of guns for self defense, civilian possession of machine guns and assault rifles, and the 2nd amendment's inclusion of the militias right to own guns to protect people and country if need be. An individual is entitled to their right to own guns, however there should be strict regulations on guns and gun ownership.

Gun Control, the big debate of the 21st century. Varying from idea to idea between different souls, backgrounds, and beliefs. Some people believe that people kill people, not guns. Others believe that guns are the reason the people killing each other. Based on research, data, and facts compiled by myself, this is gun control in it’s best days, and darkest hours.

With mass shootings on the rise, street violence killing by the thousands, and suicide victims climbing as well, gun control laws have been a hot topic in today’s media. There are many state laws and a federal amendment that pertain to firearms. These laws try to restrict and regulate the sale, purchase, and possession of firearms through licensing, registration, and identification requirements (US. Legal, Inc.). These laws are in place to protect people who own or do not own guns from those who would be the most dangerous when in possession of one. However, there are large loopholes in these laws that allow people to get a gun without facing any of the laws’ requirements. It is these loopholes that give people whom wish to harm or kill other, the ability to purchase a firearm when otherwise they would have been prohibited. Stricter and more thorough firearm-related laws need to be put into place, so that previous loopholes will be eliminated.

people are killed. The people and politicians warm up to talk about gun control and strict laws,

According to gun advocates, “If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” (Stossel). Many people including government officials and American citizens question whether the gun ban across the nation will actually reduce the overall violence or will it take a turn for the worse by creating a rebellion. In the past, the threat of taking guns away created an uprising in a group of outlaws’ rage and fury. There was a murderous killing spree that occurred in Oregon in the month of October that was a result of the gun control laws being put in place. No matter how many people have their guns taken away, American criminal’s sick obsession for violence will never be abolished. For this and many other reasons, there needs to be less gun control.

In the future, will guns be banned? Guns will be banned in the future, of all the deaths caused by guns. Do you think guns will be banned in the future?
