I believe that gun control laws are unconstitutional. Gun Control laws are only taking away our rights given to us in the second Amendment of the Constitution which are protected by the fourteenth Amendment. Forcing people to have background checks before purchasing a gun or making assault weapons illegal will not lower the level of crime that is caused by guns. These laws will only affect law abiding citizens of the United States. Why would a criminal follow gun control laws if he or she is already going to break the law to commit a crime?
He mention what is the president and public want from gun control laws even the public think all new government laws will not work to reduce the illegal used of gun. I agree with Wilson criticism of gun control legislation in same time I agree with the public of the effective of the new laws. Wilson tries to propose some solutions of illegal gun and should control and ban the use of these guns. Wilson has some ideas and major actions to solve gun control debate. He mentions the relating between shrinking the stock of legally purchased guns and people self defend.
There will never be a world with no violence, but guns do there part to contain it. There are only bad things that can come from gun regulation; it can ruin American lives, it can take American lives, and it goes against what our founding fathers thought should be a long lasting American law. Guns have been around for hundreds of years and the technology will keep improving and the fugitives as well as the criminals will continue having guns no matter what kind of law is implemented. We might as well have the ability to protect ourselves and our families from them. As Adolf Hitler once said, "This year will go down in history.
Gun Control It seems that frequently after a gun related tragedy get[s] the national attention of the nation, there is an attempt to discuss what, if anything, we can do to address gun related violence in the United States. We citizens must not wait for tragedy to strike for us to take action. Gun Control should have been on the top of the list of things to do to keep our nation safe. We must not continue to point fingers at Washington, or our own local state government, we have to get gun control on the table to find the solution. We need more gun control in our nation because; we will reduce the percentage of violent crime that goes on in our communities.
“Compare the rate of murder by gun in the United States to the rate in any other advanced industrial nation, and you’re forced to draw one of two conclusions: Either there are far more homicidal people in this country than just about anyplace else on Earth, or far more guns.” (Meyerson December 19, 2012) The Second Amendment gives people the right to bear arms to people who in most cases will not need them. I believe that this should be changed. Though there are people that say that the right to bear arms is only self-defense, but in reality who will there be that you are going to need a gun to defend your self against? In the United States there are 89 guns for every 100 people, on average. Meanwhile in countries such as Austria, Norway, Sweden, Germany and France there are about 30 to 32 guns for every 100 people.
Gun Control Research Project Aarron Locklin Lonestar College System Some Americans are convinced that more federal regulation of firearms is needed to reduce the number of homicides that are committed with guns and to ensure a safer, more civilized society. Others who support ownership of firearms proclaim that the right to bear arms is guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and that no increase in crime, no mass killing, nor any political murders should lead the nation to violate the Constitution and the individual rights it guarantees. They also say that knives and other instruments are used to kill people as well, and there is no talk of regulating or banning them. Both supporters and opponents of gun control
Do they think that the criminals are going to give up their firearms just because it’s “illegal” to possess them? If current gun control laws put forth by this administration were enacted, law abiding citizens would be the only unarmed population in this country. This would work out well for the criminals who want to take our wallet of rob your home. We as a people need to stand up and let our politicians know that we are more protected when we are allowed to protect ourselves. If the aim of our government is to protect our schools, then why not post an armed serviceman at ever school.
The exact court case that brought this decision was, United States v. Emerson, it changed the scope so that the second amendment was not a collective protection for state run militias, but rather a safety net for all the gun lovers and proprietors. The new definition did not make reasonable gun control unconstitutional. This means that the second amendment’s gun rights are not all-powerful, in fact with enough support it could be changed to only support small handguns and not the more unnessarily dangerous weapons, e.g. ak-47 and several
National gun control will work if given a chance BYLINE: ARTHUR C. HAYHOE SECTION: BRANDON TIMES; GUEST COLUMN; Pg. 2 LENGTH: 941 words According to the National Rifle Association (NRA) gun control has been tried and failed, and the passage of any fur-ther gun control legislation is a waste of time and just further diminishes the rights of law abiding citizens. The most frequent argument offered by the NRA about the failure of gun control is the skyrocketing crime rate in exactly those places that have the most strict gun control, New York City and Washington, D.C., to name but two. The issue is not whether gun control works, but whether it ever has been tried. The idea that this country has had a set of uniform
The term "gun control" means any law, policy, practice, or proposal designed to define, restrict, or limit the possession, production or modification, importation, shipment, sale, and/or use of firearms. Gun control laws and policies vary greatly around the world. Some countries, such as the United Kingdom, have very strict limits on gun possession while some large federal republics like the United States, have laws that vary significantly between states. Proponents of gun control generally argue the dangers of widespread gun ownership. Opponents argue that gun control does not reduce gun-related injuries, murder, or suicide, and some argue that such regulation would violate individual liberties.
