Why Is Gun Control Important?

Gun regulation has been a controversial topic since they were first established as a weapon. People for and against gun regulation provide strong arguments for their side. Gun regulation has fluctuated over time due to changes in office. Being a democracy prevents us from having consistency. As a nation we continue to change regulations on guns because of the different views our democracy allows us to have. The main aspects pose the most problems in gun control are violence, illegal sale of guns, and mental health checks.

"The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to have a good guy with a gun.", states the National Riffle Association. The effectiveness of new gun laws are causing controversy between gun owners and non gun owners. Some newly passed laws are appropriate, but others go against the Second Amendment rites. Guns are not just pieces of metal; they are used in self defense, industries such as hunting, and in multiple combat situations. While gun control advocates have a couple of reasons to want guns taken away, the abundance of helpful uses exceeds the harmful ones.

What is gun control? Gun control are policies that restrict, posses, or modify the use of firearms. I am against the possession of firearms because firearms have caused many injuries or deaths here in California although we have many rules towards the use of firearms. The use of weapons is not really a necessity for us as citizens the only ones who should be able to possess weapons should be the authority meaning the police, the army, the navy, and etc. Firearms shouldn't have to be fired unless you have to in order to defend you or your family from a serial killer or a maniac.

The guns have been an integral part of American societies. Throughout the history, it has been using for protecting nation, self-defense, protecting family and hunting for food and sporting activities by the American citizens. But other hand, it is a most controversial, highly discussed, and making issue on the US politics that has been existing today. The 2nd Amendment of the American constitution provides rights to bear arms, but people are killing of acquitted babies, women and even mass day by day. How many innocent American should die to control gun and should all the citizens have that

In Connecticut on December 14, 2012 twenty year old Adam Lanza opened fire at Sandy Hook elementary school and fatally shot 20 children who were between the ages of six and seven. After fatally shooting the children he turned the gun upon himself and released the trigger. The attorney’s office concluded that Lanza acted alone and there was no provided indication as to why he did it or why he choose that school. Some Americans believe that the Preamble to the Constitution is most compelling for Americans today because it allowed Americans to insure domestic tranquility is taking place, such as gun control. Gun control is the set of laws that regulate the sale and use of firearms by civilians.

Restrictions are rules or limitations that are put in place to keep order. Restrictions have kept our country safe for years. For example, the drinking age for all U.S. residents is twenty-one years old. Imagine the risk of having a younger age or not having one at all. Also, alcohol is only sold Monday through Saturday and during certain times of the day. If restrictions were not in place there would be more accidents and deaths occurring every day. Strict gun control laws are needed to reduce the number of mass shootings.

Gun control has been a controversial issue in the past, but it has recently been popping everywhere on the news, considering the recent occurrences of abuse. I believe we need a system in which citizens do not need to fear, but we also need a system in which rights are not being taken away. European countries such as United Kingdom have extremely strict laws on firearms. This extremeness has actually proven to work causing fewer deaths by guns. . Assault weapons are far too dangerous for regular citizens to hold, some restrictions should be placed so not everyone can achieve them we have seen the many mass murders because of assault weapons. I don’t believe assault weapons, which were originally created for military purposes, are really

The recent headline in the newspaper, “The Las Vegas attack is the deadliest attack in US history” makes me wonder, why is American government not tightening the law of gun control? The guns that had been used by the killer, were legal to buy; although, they were illegal to use. One might think how is that possible? It is possible because of the loop hall in system, buying the semi-automatic rifles is legal and, modified the rifle into the fire like automatic weapons, ‘which is known as a bump fire stock,’ is also legal in the USA, after the alteration that weapon becomes an automatic firearm; now it is illegal to use that weapon. Sad part is before or after modifying the rifle you do not need to contact the authorities. The question arose in mind, in this time and days, why would someone need guns? Why would someone need weapons which are used by the military?

America has recently witnessed a number of shooting and indiscriminate firing incidents in schools, malls, and villages. Some took their own lives before the police could even respond to the scene. In the end, America keeps losing children, teachers, brothers, and sisters. The population is decreased, but the problem persists. With all these shooting sprees is gun control what we really need? Or is there a more serious problem we are facing here?

There have been many firearm deaths however, include suicides, and there are a lot of them. In 2013, there were a total of 33,636 firearm deaths, and 21,175, or 63 percent, were suicides, according to the CDC. Homicides made up 11,208, or 33 percent, of those firearm deaths. According to the article, Gun Control Explained by Richard Perez-Pena, stated that “Over the past 25 years, Americans’ support for stricter gun control laws has been generally declining even as the number of mass shootings is on the rise. While some high-profile shootings have resulted in calls for increased restrictions, that support has proved fleeting thus far. Gun control is one of the most sharply divisive issues in the U.S.

The US now averages almost one mass shooting per day (where four or more people are killed), with 1125 killed in such attacks since the start of 2013. In that time there have been 32000 firearm deaths in total in the US.

Gun control, a very controversial topic that is very important in the United States. Well, why is controversial? To put it simply, it is because we can't seem to agree on how to control guns. The ownership of guns in the United States stems back since its inception, where the founding fathers granted citizens the right to bear arms. Since then, the government has implemented laws and protocol to keep guns out of reach from dangerous people who may use them in ways that put innocent lives in danger. Still, though, in many cases, these efforts are not enough. We still have high amounts of gun-related deaths when compared to other developed countries, and guns are also the leading cause of homicides. So, the gun control itself is absolutely

In 2013, America gun-related deaths included 21,175 suicides, 11,208 homicides and 505 deaths caused by an accidental discharge, In total there was 32,888 deaths caused by guns alone. compared to other countries

The second amendment states, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”, and gun control is the set of laws and policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. Gun control is infringing upon the right of the people to own firearms. Therefore gun control is unconstitutional, and should not be stood for by the people of the United States. This country was founded to make all people free, and the second amendment was the founder's way of assuring that the American people would always remain free. Having gun control laws gives too much power to the government, and gives them too much control over civilian lives. Gun rights should be treasured by the

14,110. In this past year alone there have been 14,110 gun related deaths or injuries in the United States. 672 of those have been the death or injuring of children 0-11, and 2,963 of those have been the death or injuring of teens, ages 12-17. There have been 323 mass shootings and 55,806 gun related incidents in 2017 (Gun Violence Archive. (n.d.). All of this data adds up to one very important fact, guns need to be more restricted, controlled, and regulated in the United States.
