Many of these questions and thoughts continue to be one of the hottest topics in the political world today. Guns are a symbol

throughout our country’s political history, presidents and politicians have tried to ban or even merely control the amount or type of guns available to the public. Two articles, Treasure the Second Amendment, But Ban Assault Rifles by Judith Miller and A Ban on Assault Rifles Would Not Reduce Crime by Noёl Merino, address both sides of this emotionally charged issue.

High-capacity rifles should be banned because they were originally designed as a weapon of war to kill a lot of people in a short period of time. These kinds

AR-15s Are The Most Dangerous Guns on the Market: Crowder says there are plenty of other rifles that are semi-automatics and are more effective at killing than the AR-15s. These other rifles can carry just as much ammo and their ammunition is just as powerful or more so than an AR-15s. Semi automatic shotguns, commonly used for deer hunting, are also just as dangerous. The Glock-17, which is often carried by law enforcement officers is

controversial issue has been the use of guns and assault rifles. On the one hand, the NRA argues that a ban on assault rifles will not reduce gun violence. On the other hand, Judith Miller contends that the second amendment is great but there should be some kind of ban on assault rifles. My own view is that as long as guns are available there will be gun violence regardless. The National Rifle Association (NRA) argues that bans on assault rifles and large ammunition magazines are misguided and conflict

A bolt-action rifle is a very reliable, and very useful tool that was invented in 1824 by Johann Nikolaus von Dreyse. The bolt-action rifle has been used for hunting, protection, and has proved to be a reliable weapon for military use in the defense of our country.

The Australian government banned all semi-automatic rifles and all repeating shotguns. 700,000 guns out of 3,000,000 were confiscated. This is what the government called the buyback program. Would this work in the US? Did it work in Australia? Is it a good idea? What evidence is there to support it? The problem with gun control is that statistics prove that gun control is ineffective.

considered. Because the topic is whether or not the right to bear arms should include assault rifles, the definition of an assault rifle needs to be established. According to the NRA, an assault rifle is, “By U.S. Army definition, a selective-fire rifle chambered for a cartridge of intermediate power.
