Why Guns Should not be Banned

Gun control is a very controversial topic tossed around in politics right now. Debates between it are split up pretty evenly with those who want it and those who don’t. Gun control shouldn’t be a debate, but common sense. Hunting is enjoyed greatly by many Americans, but because of the high incidents of gun-related deaths and injuries, it’s important that we input stricter gun laws, for example, background checks, the ban of assault weapons, regulating purchases of guns at gun shows, and not permitting concealed weapons allowed in bars, colleges, restaurants, or political rallies in order to keep out people safe.

America needs to institute, and initiate gun control laws throughout the entire nation. But not everybody who inhabits the United States believes in regulating arms. Those who are against establishing gun laws argue that gun control directly infringes upon their “right to bear arms” granted to them by the 2nd Amendment. Anti gun control supporters, such as the National Rifle Association, often claim that the act of regulating guns is a sufficient reason why such an Amendment was introduced in the constitution; to protect themselves from any and all forms of violation of civil liberties and freedom. Supporters of anti gun laws are unwilling to welcome any interpretations of the 2nd Amendment that do not match up “word for word,” as was written in the Bill of Rights.

Guns all around the world have done harm to people such as killing them, but has also saved the lives of people as a use of protection, which is why I believe that guns should not be taken away all together. It is in my hope that I can get people to understand that guns have a meaning behind them both good and bad and that regulations within the gun control need to be set in place. A safety and mandatory training should be in place for anyone who is purchasing a gun. To be able to get a gun or firearm one must go through a training process of however many hours a week for however long to be cleared to own and carry a gun to ensure confidence in knowing how to use one and for the safety of a person. The chosen target audience for this topic would be anyone that has or is thinking about purchasing a gun. It is pointed towards this audience because accidents and deaths occur all the time and put people in danger when one does not know how to use a gun properly. This mandatory training will not only teach one how to use a gun but will also ensure that the people that are sold a gun had the training and are aware of the safeties and can shoot at an accuracy. This will stop many of the accidents from happening, allowing for people to feel safe and confident that the owners of a gun are trained in how to use it.

They say guns kill people, technically. People kill people. As if guns were able to walk around and shoot, which in this case they are not. So should guns be illegal, i think not.

Gun control is an ongoing debate and will never stop because there will always be that one person to testify against it and get it going again. In this year of an election, many politicians have stated the need for gun control, but their reasoning is not logical. There may be a need for gun control, but the laws that are in place now have gone too far. Too many laws create too many restrictions, and maybe they are there to protect citizens, but they also encourage lawlessness. They also start riots and other things like that because people are pushing for so many gun control laws and guns are being banned.

On January 1st. Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, signed a bill into law that allows licensed handgun owners to openly display firearms out into the public. Open carry being legal in the majority of the United States is terrible. Getting licensed today would be fairly easy because background checks are horrible. One out of every veterans come back from war with PTSD. A mere sight of a gun would cause them to have a major anxiety attack, and after all, we should be respecting them and not shoving guns to their faces. Plus if you think about it, there is no good convenient reason to show your guns to the outside world.

Over the past year, the topic of gun control has received more and more attention. In America, gun control is a very serious issue. The reason why people feel that gun ownership is such a big problem is because there have been more tragic shootings in recent years. Moreover, many people lose their lives by them each year. Conservatives will say that guns are used for protection, and more guns will equal less crime. In the other hand, others will say guns should not be owned by anyone. It should only use by the police or law enforcement because more guns will equal more violence. I believe America does not want any more mass shootings, so it should be a gun control. Even though some people believe it is a right to carry firearms but it should be outlawed because it is too easy for criminals to get handguns and too many innocent people are dying from accidental shootings.

This essay will discuss if we should or should not have gun control. There are many reasons as to why we should have the right to own and carry a concealed weapon. The reason for gun control: “Self-defense is a fundamental right,” says the NRA (National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action). The NRA states that the right to have guns for self-defense is protected in all states because of the U.S. Constitution.

Nearly 53% of identified shootings took place at elementary schools, and 47% took place on college or university campuses (Everytown). Over the past few years public shootings have gone up. With this long-standing debate people are reacting and saying guns cause these shootings. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Not all people are bad in the world, that is why the government should not ban guns. Guns can keep people safe and make people feel safer.

Gun control is a very hot and controversial topic in the U.S that has been around for years. Some of the population thinks that it shouldn’t be a thing, while the other half strongly disagrees. However, gun control is essential to a progressive and peaceful country. Adults and gun owners should take stricter actions to ban high capacity and automatic rifles, support common sense gun control (such as background checks and making sure the mentally-ill don’t obtain them), and make sure civilians (including hunters) don’t own military-grade firearms.

In our society, firearms have been in use for numerous occasions. There has been an increase in the usage of firearms. It has gotten out of hand today, and gun control laws are so lenient that firearms are constantly being abused. The abuse of firearms have occurred in a very significant amount of states. The lost of lives people have felt with in their families have been brutal.

There has been a sizeable debate on gun control and whether or not important political figures or public safety should address the issue. Public safety and political figures should address this issue because the two leading causes of death are from gun wounds and car accidents. There should be tougher gun restrictions in the United States because guns are bought with the intent on killing another human being, which can be justified in self defense. However, there should be requirements that the gun owner should be licensed, trained, and have lock boxes for their guns because children can get to them, misuse them, and actually hurt or kill themselves and someone with them. Restricting them doesn’t necessarily mean banning

     While there are a multitude of reasons that all guns should be banned, even implementing more strict laws restraining these weapons would save numerous lives. Although guns were traditionally intended for protection, they are commonly utilized for more insidious activities such as school shootings, armed robberies and armed break-ins. In some states, there are stricter gun laws and studies have shown that because of these tighter restrictions there are, on average, less gun-related deaths. The general populace may believe the daily use and regular concealment of guns is primarily positive, but they fail to take into consideration the negative aftermath that inevitably ensues where ever guns are not outlawed.

Guns have been a part of America since the beginning. Right off the bat, the Constitution gave us the right to bear arms in 1791. Until recent years, this amendment was left to our own interpretations and we were able to see it as we saw fit. District of Columbia V. Heller changed this. It allowed us to know that while we have a right for guns, it has limitations. The basis of this monumental court case was that we had a right to guns for self- defense. It also set the back ground for us to not be allowed to take guns everywhere, but leaves a lot of gray area as to where we should and should not have these arms. College is one of these places that was left in the gray area. While it is a public school, where guns should not be, it is also homes, which is where we have a right to have these guns. Many questions need to be asked when thinking about these problems, but the safety of students is the biggest concern in all these. Do guns make college campuses safer or not, and how do these changes effect the students that go there.

It has been estimated that America has nearly 300 million guns, nearly one gun per member of the population. Imagine you are watching a film at the Cinema and suddenly a man enters with a pistol and starts shooting innocent people. Even though this seems unbelievable, this is possible in America as their citizens are allowed to own guns. They claim that they use guns for self-protection, however, it is used to create violence. The majority of the US citizens support the gun laws, which is shocking. Guns are the main cause of crime in the USA, they have given their young citizens a misleading path which pose a high danger to the whole of the US population.
