Will Gun Control Cause Any Changes in Society

In today’s society the majority of the crimes are still being committed by people who have possessed a firearm that has been obtained illegally or without proper permits. That being said there has been a strong push for gun control because of the rise of shootings involving a large group of people such as the Columbine massacre, Virginia Tech shooting and latest Aurora movie theater shooting involving people who have purchased firearms legally. Gun control laws in the United States have been established for many years but to maintain a civilized society with limited crime stronger control laws need to be enforced in which will help reduce crime in our country. Establishing stronger gun control laws will educate

     Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.

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.

Gun ownership is embedded in the fabric of America. The United States has the highest gun ownership rate in the world with 88 guns per 100 people. This is a staggering amount of firearms in the U.S. which our forefathers would 've never imagined when writing the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment states that “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.” Not everyone interprets this right the same way. Regulating and restricting the use of these firearms brings up opposing sentiments from those in favor of gun control and those who oppose

The world is a dangerous place to live. Every day, we wake up, send our children off to school and spend most of our lives working. We put ourselves in harm’s way every time we leave our homes. At any moment, we could be killed in an automobile accident, plane crash, gunshot wound or any other random occurrence that happens in this crazy world we live in. There have been so many advancements in technology and medicine to protect ourselves from these lucks of the draw events that life throws at us, but some people seem to have a problem with gun ownership. Gun ownership for many is viewed like the seatbelt of a car or the vaccine given to us to prevent the Flu, it is a form of protection and security. Some people in our country would argue that there needs to be a banning of fire arms or more restrictions to keep fire arms out of people’s hands. I disagree with this idea. I feel that Federal and State governments should not bad firearms or make the purchasing process more difficult. It is every legal citizen right to bear arms, whether it is for protection or sport.

The recent terrorist situations in America could have turned out differently if the victims had been armed. There have been too many terrorist situations lately in America. Many people who are not in favor of gun rights want to make it more difficult or even impossible for citizens to purchase weapons. When stricter gun control is enforced, then citizens may not be able to protect themselves. We need to find a way to prevent gun related tragedies, but that does not involve taking guns away from citizens (Hockley). We need more guns in the hands of citizens, then they will be able to protect themselves during violent crimes (Goldberg). The call for increased gun rights in America is vital for the safety

Stricter gun control for civilians in the United States would reduce the violence in our country. According to a poll taken by Sandra M. Alters in 2007, an overwhelming 60% of Americans support gun control. Only 32% of Americans said that they do not support gun control and another 8% said that they have no preference. The American public sees gun control as a way to stop the madness and the violence escalating in our country.

There are thousands of people that own guns in the United States. People have owned guns for the entire duration of American history. Even pre-dating the formation of the country, there were the Massachusetts minutemen who owned their own firearms and used them to defend themselves against oppression. Many lawmakers now want to go against these principles of allowing gun ownership for civilians (Dreier 92). They want to challenge the freedoms that have built the United States into the nation that it is today. They want to challenge the freedoms that Americans are specifically promised in the second amendment of the Constitution. All lawmakers need to stop consider the effects that will come into play with the creation of gun control laws.

Guns have been around for a very long time. People love being able to have the freedom to do what they want, especially when they can possess something that make them feel superior. The introduction of the Second Amendment opens up the controversial, yet well anticipated opportunity for United State citizens to be able to own guns. Americans enjoy the benefit of being able to own guns for decades over people in other countries. People can buy guns and carry them around in public. They own guns for many reasons such as to hunt, to protect themselves, and simply to satisfy their desire of owning a gun, but in recent years, the issue of people carry guns has become a problem. There are so many people get killed by guns in different parts of

Gun control is one of the most talked about topics in modern day America. 43 of 50 states have the right to bear arms. Most states have to background check you in order for you to purchase or sell guns. Some other states prevent carrying guns and some other ban assault rifle weapons. People who support the gun laws say that the second amendment was meant for militias and that gun restrictions have always existed. People who oppose that say that guns are needed for self-defense from people who invade houses or are actual threats. Although both of those are correct, there will always be two sides for control laws.

Gun control is one of the most highly debated topics in 2015. From the beginning of mankind, weaponry use has been a key point of survival, and has developed into recreational and political uses. So why now is it becoming such a problem? Our Second Amendment states, “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.”(“Gun Control” Opposing Viewpoints.) Clearly it has been amended without being blatantly known. For instance there are illegal weapons, and this I agree with. No one wants to fight someone with an AK-47. Really, my stance on gun control is that it should exist, but with conditions. The first condition should be a mental illness test.

Gun control involves the efforts to regulate or control the sales and distribution of guns. The history of preventing private ownership of firearms goes back to colonial days. Gun control has been an issue in the United States for multiple decades. For example, in 1692, Massachusetts colonies did not allow firearms in public places Maryland’s, early laws prevented slaves, former slaves, and Roman Catholics from owning firearms. The Second Amendment states that “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a country Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Guns are something that America has had since the beginning. America also have a stereotype about us being gunaholics. Like it or not guns are a part of us, yet they can really have a negative impact. People wrongly use guns all the time in crimes such as murder and robbery. Not all people who own guns are crazy or going to use them harmfully so that’s were Gun Control is wrong in taking everyone’s guns. Guns, can be very dangerous, but can also be used for protection and are a right to those who can use them properly or with the right training.

Guns have been around for hundreds of years. Many wars, murders, and accidents involving guns have happened since then. Some may say that is awful, but many questions come into play. Would we be free without some of the wars? Was the murder actually in self-defense? How many gun accident deaths are there compared to cars, alcohol, drugs, and so forth? Gun Control laws violate the rights of US citizens and leave individuals and our country more vulnerable than we are with guns.

Look at the history of America and the role guns have placed in it. Gun ownership is perfectly legal and guaranteed as a right according to the second amendment. There were and still are good reasons that these are practiced today. Since guns were discovered, they have been used for hunting and the occasional self-defense. when settlers were tired of the British’s rule,they picked up their guns and went to war. The British then saw how powerful american gun owners were. Our forefathers knew that the average population, if armed, would be the reason they won the war, and it did.
