In the United States, over the past few decades, gun violence has increased massively, leading to over 10,000 gun-related incidents in 2015. The main cause of the massive amount of violence in the United States in recent decades is mainly because people who are in danger have no means to protect themselves. This is why guns should be more accessible for citizens, so that they can protect themselves in dangerous situations. Allowing citizens to conceal weapons would heavily decrease the amount of incidents that occur because innocent people were unable to protect themselves. Also, putting less control on guns would prevent crimes from even happening in the first place. If a criminal had intentions of committing a crime, they would be much less willing if they knew that they might possibly get shot trying to commit that crime. Thus, criminal activity and violent crimes will cease to continue at such high rates and more people will have the ability to protect themselves in dangerous situations.
One main issue in the Americas is the problem of gun control and if guns should be allowed. Many Americans will argue that since it is allowed in the Second Amendment there should be no argument that the people should be allowed to own guns. Others will say there should be gun control because many crimes committed are with guns. On the other hand it could be seen as criminals still finding some way of getting guns albeit through smuggling or some other way of obtaining guns which would lead to more issues because Americans wouldn 't be able to defend themselves. The issue of gun control has been a very controversial topic and has been going on for many years.
In the United States today there are many different policy issues that are associated with individual’s different hobbies and interests, and lots of these policy issues have some legal components to them. For me a policy issue that comes to mind would be Gun Control, because I am a gun owner who is a supporter of the second amendment. With shootings and other gun related trouble happening all over our country those who create and maintain our gun laws have a big responsibility to take care of. The policy issue of gun control has both people who support the right to bear arms, while there are others who think all guns should be done away with, and this dispute should be something people care about in a legal context.
Gun control, the term many have heard, but have no idea what it is about or what it even means to them. Information has shown that gun control is very diverse and difficult. It is hard to work around guns and dangerous people. It is also hard to put laws into action without upsetting large groups of people. Government and other political groups take baby steps to gain any progress. Gun laws should be enforced through background checks and more enforcement on assault rifles because most deaths are not related to gun violence, but mental health.
Gun control is a very complicated topic, there are two sides to the issue and many ongoing arguments between both sides. With the recent outbreak of school shootings this topic has only gotten touchier. Some people even believe the 2nd amendment should be repealed. This topic is commonly avoided but it must be discussed, between school shootings and terrorist attacks everyone is at risk. Gun control is a topic that affects everybody regardless of age, gender, or race.
Gun control has been a big topic for the past decade in the united states. These debates will rise and fall time in and time out after something horrific happens in the state. Anti-Gun supporters do not realize that it is extremely difficult to regulate something in the states that is a big portion of our economy.Would stricter gun laws change anything? So far statistically It has been proven otherwise one must consider how a citizen would defend themselves when they are faced with terror. How will they defend themselves if there are restrictions on guns? It seems that some states that have stricter gun laws are where the most shootings and also where more terrorists attack take place. It seems that gun control is only pushed when shootings gradually get worse and worse. But why are these anti gun groups not speaking up when police brutality happens or when a racial hate crime occurs? Anti-Gun groups do not look at the bigger picture and try to understand that it is more than guns. Gun control almost plays Zero role in murders
There are a lot of different opinions on gun control. Some people think we should have gun control and strongly support it. I for one am not one of those people. I strongly believe that gun control would not work. Guns are not weapons they are tools used to protect your self, it is not the fault of a good samaritan that an unlawful samaritan uses them in the wrong ways. Guns are not the problem it is the people that get a hold of them. A gun can not fire a bullet its self just like a car can not drive its self.
Over the past couple of years, gun control has become a major issue in politics in reaction to horrific public shootings involving government buildings and even elementary school children. There have been many heated debates regarding the effectiveness and constitutionality of gun control from both sides of the political spectrum. Although some argue that gun control will lead to a decrease in crime, guns allow individuals to protect themselves when law enforcement cannot, concealed carry helps prevent crime, and the fact that guns are not responsible for crimes caused.
We as a country have been caught up lately in the idea that we need to take away people's guns in order to make people safer. Adolf Hitler once said, “To conquer a nation, first disarm its citizens (Quotes About).” Do I really need to explain where history seems to be repeating here. What people do not seem to understand is that by trying to control guns, you are just making it easier for those who would mean to do harm to get away with it. This is especially true in states with really strict gun laws.
When there is a bombing, we blame the bomber. When there is a drunk driving accident we blame the drunk driver. Why when there is a shooting, do we blame the gun? A gun has never in fact killed a person, not even an animal. Guns are incapable of killing anything; they are inanimate objects used as tools to protect, hunt, and collect, amongst many other things. Should the fact that felons have committed crimes with the use of guns result in the removal of the constitutional right of law abiding citizens to possess guns? Just the idea of gun control is downright against the principle of democracy that allows people to protect their lives and the lives of others. It also goes against the Second Amendment. Do you think the criminals killing with these guns will suddenly decide to obey new gun control laws? Imagine that a criminal walks into an establishment with a gun, sees a sign that reads “gun free zone”, and leaves because it is the right thing to do. No, If anything the criminals want gun control. Think about it, the more people there are that do not own guns, the less chance criminals will get shot when using theirs. It is simple, stricter gun control is clearly
Gun Control are laws that are put in place to regulate and promote gun safety. Isn't that just plain common sense? "But we are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency."(Obama) Gun Violence is a problem that sadly has been embedded into our culture. But why? Guns have been part of culture since our arrival to the New World. Guns played a huge part in search for our independence as the Revolutionary war started with the first shots fired in Boston, MA. But, as time progressed guns began to do more harm than good. Gun violence is increasing as 89 people are victims of gun violence every day. But as soon as the horrible phantom is happening, groups such as the National Rifle Association
Have you ever wondered whether gun control is really for the best? The term “gun control” refers to laws or restrictions being placed on the ability to legally own or purchase a firearm. Gun control laws can vary by what they restrict. Some laws do not allow citizens to own a firearm under any circumstance. Some gun control laws allow citizens to have a firearm, but do not allow them to carry it outside. In general, whether there are gun control laws or not, there are certain types of firearms that, apart from certain people, most are not allowed to own. Americans should be allowed to possess firearms because they should be able to protect themselves, it is their right, and it will help keep people safer.
Is gun control a bad or good thing? Would taking away guns prevent or increase criminal behavior? The debate on gun control started after several massacres in the United States. There became an extremely opposed opinion between having guns and not having guns. People became to blame the gun not the person using the gun. This way of thinking created fear against guns. Due to the people fearing guns the legislature proceeded with caution to allow people the right to bear arms. In the United States laws are being made to keep America safe from harmful people. If not careful guns can become harmful causing deaths, massacres, yet there are laws to prevent criminals to obtaining a gun there are always loopholes.
The second amendment: the right to bear arms, is arguably the most recognized out of all of the amendments. Yet the question to ask now is how relevant is the second amendment; and with their being a major difference between the current age, and the age of when it was written, should this amendment still exist or be should it be changed. In recent times, the issue of gun control has become an increasingly heated topic. Whenever a national tragedy occurs that involves gun violence, the question on what to do about America’s gun control takes center stage. Guns are a threat to the general welfare, which the government exists to
Gun control has been a hot topic in the media lately. The government seems to think that it would be a wonderful idea to take away our right to bear arms. May I remind you this is our right according to the second amendment? The second amendment reads, "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." Just to be clear on the meaning of the word infringe, it reads, “To actively break the terms of a law, agreement, etc.” With that in mind, why would any American think that it’s ok for our government to take away our right to bear arms? Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but is this not what Hitler did to the Jewish people, before launching his murderous campaign against them? Sure there would be some benefits to having gun control, I am not completely biased on the subject. But Newton said it best in his third law of motion which states, “for every action, there is an equal, and opposite reaction.”
