Gun Control Act of 1968

History of the NRA The National Rifle Association in its simplest form is the largest gun club in the world. The organization was founded in 1871 by former Union Army officers to encourage sport shooting in order to have a fine tuned militia in case of emergency. The Union officers believed that a well regulated militia was integral for the security of a free state. It is an organization that opposes gun control, it believes in the individual defense of the uses of firearms, and it is interested

Gun control is a controversy topic, politically and socially. Guns are not for everyone, especially for the ones that are not responsible to maintain one. There are some individuals that cannot handle a firearm safely, like irresponsible people, then there are some individuals who choose to use firearms to commit crimes. Our legislative has passed many laws regulating the ownership and use of firearms, and even more legislation is being considered. Some restrictions may be needed for firearms, to

Gun control is not one issue, but many. To some people gun control is a crime issue, to others it is a rights issue. Gun control is a safety issue, an education issue, a racial issue, and a political issue, among others. Why should citizens be allowed to have guns? Many people ask that question and many people wonder why is the question even asked when you are a responsible citizen and want to be able to protect yourself and your family as well as be able to enjoy hunting. Many people question

Necessity of Gun Control Gun control is one of the most debatable topics today. Thirty-three million Americans own firearms for hunting (Aitkens 9). But hunting is not the sole reason for which many individuals buy firearms. Of all countries, the United States is the one which is troubled most by a large number of criminals who are in possession of guns. The U.S. has the highest firearm murder rate of any democracy in the world (Aitkens 5). Where is the country going wrong as far as gun control is concerned

(Summary of the Case) ATF “GunWalking” operations came about from the criticism of the bureau for focusing on relatively minor gun violations while failing to target high-level gun smuggling figures. Currently, the U.S. firearms laws govern the possession and transfer of firearms and provide penalties for the violation of such laws. “Gun trafficking” for the most part, includes the movement or diversion of firearms from legal to illegal markets.

8. Enhance the enforcement of inspections of FFL dealers. In 2014, of the 140,000 FFL dealers in the U.S., only 10,429 were inspected (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, 2015). This means roughly 7.5% of FFL dealers were inspected during the 2014 fiscal year. By law ATF can only inspect FFL dealers once a year, but it seems they aren’t even capable of doing that. Dealers with expired licenses, hazardous store conditions, stolen firearms and a myriad of other issues and safety concerns

Gun Control. Just the mention of those two words together is usually enough to start a riot between sides. Those for stricter gun control and those who want better reform with out having the government grip tighten are locked in a political battle with each side using the same weapons. Both sides look to the recent shootings as a banner for their viewpoint and neither side is willing to consider the opposition’s view. This has lead to a rift in the political theater, and a rift across America.

last one was unknown (Follman). Whether mentally fit or not, loose gun control laws allow those untrustworthy to buy guns and possible commit heinous acts. The addition of strict gun control laws can reduce deaths and crimes rates by firearms drastically, as gun ownership decreases and new regulation can prevent horrific accidents from happening. Canada serves as a perfect representation of the benefit of strict gun control laws and how they help improve crime and death due to firearms in America

The free range of interpretation of the Constitution by the branches of government has allowed the country to continue to function and not become stagnant. This is important because the laws of the 18th century United States would not be relevant to that of the 21st century. Technology and the complexity of the world are examples of why interpretation of the constitution is important because no can say for sure any of the original drafters of the constitution anticipated the size the United States
