Essay On Gun Control Laws

Researchers at the University of Alabama have conducted studies trying to find links between guns and mass shootings (Michaels). There are hundreds of millions of guns in circulation in America today. In fact, “the total number of guns in circulation is at least 240 million” (Ballaro and Finley). Adam Lankford, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Alabama, suggests that “America’s high rate of public mass shootings is connected with the number of guns circulating in the country” (Michaels). Implementing stricter gun laws would cause fewer people to want to purchase guns, resulting in fewer guns in circulation in the coming years. In the United States, “around 30,000 people die from gun fire each year. Around half of these are murders, a little less than half are suicides, and the rest are lethal accidents” (Ballaro and Finley). (2) Currently there are several million guns in circulation, and gun deaths in America are higher than any other developed country. (5) If the trend continues, the number of gun deaths will continue to increase. As stated in the article “10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down.” author Dave Gilson states that “People with access to more guns tend to kill more people- with guns. States with higher gun ownership rates have higher gun murder rates- as much as 114% higher than states with lower gun ownership rates” (Gilson). (7) More

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 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.

There have been protests for stricter gun control laws such as banning assault weapons and stronger background checks. Especially after all the mass shootings that have occurred in the past years. Many of those incidents could have been prevented if gun laws had been stricter. More restrictive gun control laws target gun violence and crimes. House Republican Leader, Jim Durkin states that ,”the law is aimed at reducing crime in Chicago” (Smith). He also mentioned that 425 people have been murdered with guns so far in Chicago in 2016. The shocking part is that nearly 60% of those guns used to commit those crimes were purchased out of the city. The sad truth is that no matter how many deaths result from gun violence, nothing will be done. More

A DAY HAPPENS like any other day. Then some guy asks you for all of your card information. You refuse. He then pulls a Vector (a sub-machine gun, still fully automatic) and points it right at you. Luckily, the police pull up and take him away for illegal assault. Automatic guns and rifles are banned for civilian use, mostly because of how dangerous they are. This is the gun control law.

This essay will be based on the opinions of people supporting the idea that gun laws should be banned. Understanding the idea of, if guns weren't allowed to be purchased then no one from the shootings would have been harmed. If guns were just removed then the problems today would be resolved. If we protest nad have walk outs then we can prove our point as a society. In the Lord of the Flies, Ralph in known as a leader and someone who believes that there do need to be rules in order to contain man. Rules do need to exist in order for a society to know there limits, without them the world would be mad. I can understand those that believe its the weapon itself fault but if you set any kind of weapon in the center of a table, will it cause harm?

Innocent people are killed by guns every day. Gun laws go way back and have helped but havent helped enough. A lot of the mass shootings have to do with large assault rifles resulting in high capacity magazines which do a lot more harm. It's repulsive to what its capable of. There needs to be extensive background checks on all citizens to make sure they are not going to harm another human being. The death rate by guns needs to go down and if not it will just keep going up. Everyone is living in fear these days and It's because of guns.

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.

Two of the popular political topics that are currently being highly debated in the U.S. Government, are gun control and immigration. In the U.S. our two political are arguing two completely different viewpoints, that can be compared to the moral ideas of Emanuel Kant and Jeremey Bentham. Bentham’s approach, also know as the utilitarian approach, would agree with the Democratic Party that their should be gun control due to the massive amount of pain afflicted due to guns. He would also agree with the Democratic Party when it comes to immigration laws, because immigration can lead to happiness for those starting over in America.
