We Need Greater Gun Control

In the article Should More Gun Control Laws Be Enacted?, there is a full set of cons and pros, which the author has provided; the author also provides statics. In the United States, there is 88.8 guns per every 100 people that would be 270, 000, 000 guns just in the United States. In addition, 22% of Americans own more than one gun. In 1999 to 2013, there was a total of 464,033 total gun deaths, 58.2%(270,237) were suicides, 37.7%(174,773) were homicides, and 2.2%(9,983) were unintentional deaths. 9,983 gun deaths were unintentional out of 464,033 gun deaths, in other words, 9,983 deaths were by accidents, those are a lot of mistakes. Therefore, a solution to stop the rate of gun deaths background checks must be done, as well, as enforcing

Gun control is a very controversial topic that has has a huge impact on the United States of America. One side believes that if guns were taken away as a whole, the country would see significantly less gun related crimes and death, while the other opposing side thinks that taking away guns is not only against the Second Amendment but would lead to an increase in crime and death because the government would take guns away from people who are legally registered to own and conceal guns. The ongoing debate will continue until the foreseeable future but their are plenty of reasons why more gun laws should be made. Taking away guns is not the answer, learning how to deal with gun violence is the key.

Lately all the talk these days is guns. It is not about owning them, but more so controlling them; sometimes even removing them through programs, such as President Obama’s “Buyback program.” This program is a trade in program, as in if you trade in your gun for money. This is because of the recent mass shootings. Instead of gun control we should be looking for a solution. We do not need more gun control because we have the right to bear arms. We should be heavily enforcing the laws we currently have because "guns don't kill people, people kill people."

We should have stricter gun control laws because there would be less shootings and gun deaths with gun control. Gun control laws would mean you would have to get a background check and meet some requirements before you can get a gun in your hands. There was a mass shooting in Vegas at Jason Aldean concert. Gun control makes the people feel

The United States faces many problems today, with one of the most concerning being gun control. It has affected the Nation in a tremendous way with innocent people dying. Homicide rates in America are alarming and more frequent than ever. In my opinion, the reasons why we should be more strict on gun control is because they have the ability to create chaos in general, which is the result of them being in the possession of wrong people like children and criminals.

When I was seven years old, my aunt and I were walking to the corner store. A man walked up to us. He pulled out a knife and held it to my aunt’s throat and yelled, “Give me the money.” She pulled out her gun from her back pocket and shot him in the toe. She didn’t kill him, but she prevented herself from getting killed. That gun saved her life and my life. You never know when something bad might happen. It could come out at any time, any day, anywhere. If my aunt hadn’t been allowed to carry that gun, we both might not be alive today. Even though some people believe America needs more gun control, this country needs less gun control because people need a way to protect themselves, it violates the Second Amendment and there are already a lot of rules and regulations about firearms.

Many people are having debates and talking about Gun-Control. This is important because not that many laws enforce gun laws in which everyone needs. Many terrible things have happened because there aren’t that many gun control laws. For Example; Shootings, Murder, Robberies, Etc. Gun-Control needs to be recognized because civilians have too many guns, we need Gun-Control laws for everybody, and talks about how many black people are being killed because of the lack of Gun-Control laws.

Having gun control can save a lot of lives and could have stop events that shouldn't have happened. For Example, the Las Vegas shooting and Columbine High School shooting could have all been avoided if these shooters were not able to get easy access to all of these guns. For the Las Vegas shooting, Stephen Paddock who killed 58 people was able to get 23 firearm and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.The police also found 19 more guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition in his house. It's not

In America guns have been a part of the country’s society since it’s birth. Throughout history the citizens of the US have used firearms to protect the nation, protect their families, hunt for food and engage in sporting activities. The issue of Guns and gun control is complex. In the United States, gun control is one of these tumultuous issues that has both sides firmly entrenched in their positions. In this climate of growing violence, rife with turmoil and crime, gun advocates feel more than ever that their position is justified as citizens of the Land of the Free. Possessing a gun is a fundamental right, and may even be a necessity. Anti- gun lobbyists point to the same growing violence and

Gun control is a big thing in the world today. Many Americans want it but also many don’t. There are both good reasoning’s and there are bad reasoning’s. Gun control is for our own safety but can also take our safe feelings away by knowing we won’t have a gun in hand to protect us in a real time of need. The second Amendment is commonly used when trying to set up the restrictions and rules of these gun control laws. There are a lot of regulations being set up and still are being made to “keep us safe.” Strict gun laws can be good for American citizens but they also can be life threatening in times. There is a never ending debate on gun control and Americans will always fight for their rights. The government should not be allowed to regulate the purchase on the owning of guns.

Gun control is one of the most controversial topics in the United States today. With all of the violence erupting and school shootings, and all these horrific cases we are seeing in todays society, the question of stricter gun control has become a hot topic. There are three sides to gun control and one is either for it, against it, or neutral about it. The second amendment has given us the right to bear arms, which is the reason why we citizens are able to purchase and obtain firearms. The second amendment is the reason why the U.S has not gotten rid of firearms in the ownership of citizens in the first place and this is why it is so controversial because it is our given right to be able to obtain these firearms. There is many reasons as into why there should be stricter gun control but at the same time there is reasons why there should not, and in this essay I will be going over facts that will support either side. We have all seen what guns can do in the wrong hands but also the good they do in the hands of the right person.

Gun control has been a hot topic in the media for decades. The decision to keep amendment two as it is, add stricter regulations, or abolish the amendment altogether has caused a considerable amount of quarrel between opponents of gun control and its advocates. According to Glenn Utter and Robert Spitzer “[t]he Pro-gun forces see themselves as the supporters of a vital constitutional right to keep and bear arms pitted against the “gun grabbers.” Strong advocates of gun control see themselves struggling for a more civilized society against the “gun nuts” and profit-hungry firearms manufacturers and dealers” (2011). They also disagree over whether or not firearms are an independent variable of the high level of violence in the United States (Utter and Spitzer 2011). This topic has also immensely affected politicians and the way taxpayers vote. Barack Obama is the most recent president to propose a gun control amendment. Given his Democratic status, numerous individuals of the same party have voted in favor of his amendment. For this reason, those who oppose gun control tend to vote for Republican leaders, and its advocates primarily vote for Democrats.

Gun control laws violate peoples right to self-defense and their feeling of safety. Police can not keep everyone safe. People feel safer having a gun because if they ever get into a situation where there are no police available and they need to use a gun for self-defense they'll be prepared. People use guns to protect their families and homes. While others say that guns are rarely used in self-defense when they haven't been in a situation where they needed a gun for protection. Guns are used for self-defense 2.5 million times a year. 64% of people feel safer with a gun in their home because they know if something happens they'll be protected. Taking away the right to bear arms affects the feeling of safety that 80% of women and 79% of men have.

People have argued for decades whether we should or shouldn’t enact more gun control laws. More gun control laws should be enacted because it could reduce gun violence along with reducing the amount of deaths and crimes caused by guns and reduce teenagers from obtaining guns.

Thomas Jefferson said, “The beauty of the 2nd amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it”. Guns are a major crime factor in the U.S but adding more gun laws won’t decrease the violence rate. The problem of gun control starts when it’s difficult for law abiding citizens to purchase any type of firearm. Unfortunately, gun laws do not work on criminals but only makes it easier for them to create violence. This can lead to more people having a bad view on guns. Therefore, having more gun regulations will not make a difference in the decrease of crime, it will just enhance it.
