Why Are Gun Laws Important

The American society has for long struggle with the debate and issue of private gun ownership. There are the advocates proposing lenient laws to allow more gun possession while the people against it calling for stringent laws to control the situation. For many centuries, since the enactment of the Second Amendment and even during the slavery period, gun ownership remains an issue to debate. The negative effects have been the harassment of the minority and the vulnerable as well as increased crimes. On other hand, it has helped promote the security of the people and ensure there is no violation of people’s rights to own guns as required by the Second Amendment. As such, gun control and ownership remains a controversial and hot topic of discussion

The most common reason why people argue that they need to have a gun is for safety, so they can protect themselves against burglars. If a burglar would come into your house, you would have a better chance defending yourself and your family with a gun, than if you did not have a gun. The number of concealed weapon owners is at an all time high. In comparison the number of homicides had drastically decreased alongside the growing rate of legal concealed weapons. This number had been nearly cut in half in the past 20 years(Goldberg).

Most Americans who support the Second amendment agree that it guarantees all people to own guns for their protection against threats that may invade their homes. For many years, the American people have owned guns, but they are required by the law to register their firearms. The case of Heller vs. the district of Colombia gave Americans of Texas state the power to purchase guns without much interference by the state (Lund, 2015).

Gun violence has centered in our community as major issue. Gun violence and gun ownership have been in the news lately due to numerous shooting taking place at Movie theatre, Offices, , colleges and even elementary schools. The gun issue discussion were even discussed in a national court, but due to intense controversial opinion from both side, the case is still unresolved. Many civilians believe that laws regarding owning gun should be stricter and if possible ban civilians from having guns. On the other hand, some say it is our right to own gun as it is guaranteed in our second amendment. But second amendment was written in 1970s and we are in 21 century now with cases of innocents being killed in gun shoot frequently. Therefore, it is not wrong to claim that gun ownership are responsible for rising death number in America,

Controversy on the right to have and bear arms brings into question the cost in human lives for the protections of the 2nd amendment of the US Constitution . At issue is whether personal gun ownership promotes a safer home and community environment, or whether guns and gun availability correlate with increasing violent crime. Violent crime in the United States has been steadily declining for over the past two decades. However, most serious violent crime in the United States is perpetrated with guns and statistics have indicated a sharp increase in 2015. By proposing a gun crime prevention strategy to reduce such serious violent crime, violent crime will dramatically decrease.

According to the lecture on Gun Violence, there are currently over 300 million guns in the possession of private citizen. Americans have over 75 guns per 100 people, whereas other western countries range from 5 to 30 guns per 100 people (2007 small arms survey). Gun violence is a major issue in the United States due to lack of gun control. The lack of gun control makes handguns too readily available to citizens, allows those who should not own a firearm the ability to purchase firearms, and no policy on secure storage of firearms. As a result, I conclude that a combination of restriction of private ownership of handguns and stricter background check and storage policy would eliminate some of the violence caused by guns. To decrease gun violence

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.

The issue of gun control dates back to the 17th century. There have been debates whether the government of the United States should adopt gun control or not and whether it is good for its citizens or not. As a result, two opposing groups have been formed; one supporting guns control and the other one against. According to statistics a big percentage of crimes committed in the United States are as a result of possession of guns and other firearms among citizens. In surveys carried out since 1999, over 20% of gun owners said that they owned the guns for protection. According to them, they use the guns to protect themselves against the increasing crimes. However, not all gun owners use the guns for protection; some use them to commit crimes thereby bringing in the issue of gun control. The United States government need to formulate laws and regulations to control gun ownership especially pro-guns (Spitzer p34-35).

- 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. 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.

In the United States Constitution, American’s possess, “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms…” (Madison) however this document, which has dictated law in the United States since 1776, may be under friendly-fire. With the rise in mass shootings within the United States, a considerable amount of people is seeking the regulation on the purchase of firearms. Some go as far as to pleading for the removal of firearms entirely in order to protect the masses of the United States, however these regulations would not fix many problems in the United States crime rates. Restricting firearms from the everyday American will only leave them defenseless while leaving the issue of crimes committed with firearms unsolved.

We all want to live safe and secure, and to be able to live without fear. This is one of the human rights that should be protected by diplomats, congressmen, senators, presidents, and ect. However, there is many people that will give that up just to fulfill their desires for shooting. On the other hand, you have the NRA making it very easy for anyone to get there hands on a gun just to fill their banks. There is many horrible side effects to this being manifested to society. We live in a time where so many people have easy access to guns. There has never been more school shootings, mass murders, terrorist attacks, and ect. In this essay I am going to talk about the school shootings, NRA, and the NRA Ads. Those are the three most

Another one of my values is safety. Police, fire, and other emergency services should be readably available at all times. Any members acting out towards citizens should be punished through termination, fines, and possible jail time based on offense. With all the police brutality scandals in the news, I find this to be extremely important. All emergency personal should be required to have a chest and dash camera on at all times. Film should be reviewed on a weekly basis in a meeting with the emergency responder. Throughout our country many officers are being called in to question. Often these accounts revolve around a white police officer assaulting and even killing African Americans. More recently, it has even included white supremacists

Gun ownership is a general topic that has remained the greatest challenge to the US security agencies. This is because the American Bill of Rights gives all citizens enough rights of owning guns individually (Baldrige 112). In the American tradition, this right has a long history. It dates back to the time when colonists settled in North America. Since then, each person in the US was allowed to own a private gun for self defense (Bellesiles 67). This is because the freedom of the US was won from the English rule by armed citizen-soldiers. The right is unique to the US across the globe. Some individuals believe that the guns can help them protect their loved ones. Consequently, they think that the right to gun ownership equals the right of self-protection. The right to individual gun ownership is, however, wrong because, in the recent years, many crimes have been committed by the use of private guns implying that the weapons that were meant to make the citizens feel safe are getting them into great danger.

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.
