“The government's responsibility is to trust, encourage and rely upon We the People. It is not to infringe upon our God-given rights, especially not enforcement of unconstitutional and liberty-killing violations like "gun control" laws (Barnhart 1). With this being said, not all gun legislation is detrimental to our rights, but rather is for our protection from those who would seek to do us harm. “The underlying gun control bill Democrats wrote includes language intended to crack down on gun trafficking and straw purchases, as well as funding for school safety provisions. But it also includes even stiffer background checks” (Sherfinski 1).
Gun control advocates have several arguments that they feel will support their cry for gun control. First, they feel more handguns that are being bought without stricter background checks enables these guns to get into circulation that will cause violent crimes. It’s stated in the Cliff Notes that each day, on an average, 13 children under the age of 19 are killed by gunfire or injured by a gun. Most youth homicides are committed with firearms. In 2010 handguns comprised 68.5% of all gun murders in the United States (FBI 2010).
(Goldberg, 2012) But will that ensure that crime rates really would go down? It is pretty hard to believe that the criminals would just suddenly stop using guns just because the government would not allow them to. The truth is most of these criminals are smart, smart enough to not get caught, and with the gun control law the criminals would know that we civilians are less
Why would a criminal follow gun control laws if he or she is already going to break the law to commit a crime? The gun control laws will be only hurting the law abiding citizens that enjoy using their gun rights for sport such as hunting. Gun control laws will be only taking away a form of protection that some people desperately need. Gun Control laws will only tear this country more apart and create more conflict between Democrats and Republicans. The United States Government needs to allow citizens to keep their rights and protection and live the way Americans have lived for the past two hundred
Politicians love to use the idea that removing legal guns will drastically reduce suicides, asassinations, gang-violence, school shootings, accidental child deaths, and general murders. They don’t consider the fact that someone that wants to kill themselves will do it anyway they can, or a college kid trying to tear up his school will just blow it up if he cant find a gun. Gang’s don’t use registered guns to commit their crimes, they use black market weapons. The result of implementing full gun control will not only endager the civilians of the country because they cannot defend themselves, but will also lead to people losing their freedom and living in fear. The criminals should be living in fear because they know that their victims have the ability to retaliate when attacked.
The statistics show that the fear of the public having guns makes it hard for criminals to know when to commit their crime. The fact of the matter is, you cannot stop all crime whether you'll low guns or not, but the goal is to lessen the crime rates and keep the public safe. When a citizen knows that a gun is by their side bin case they need to use it for protection it puts their mind at ease. Crime has dropped as the law has raised and there is a definite reason to that, and that is the criminals are just as scared of guns as we are. A crime prevention officer said “When you allow people to carry concealed handguns, you see changes in the behavior of criminals.
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.
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
(Kirk & Kois, 2013) It is projected that by 2015 the number of deaths by guns will be more than the number of deaths by automobile accidents. Christoff & Kolet 2012) Good law abiding citizens including women and children are becoming victims of isolated acts of terror at the hands of individuals who have no regard for laws, rules or regulations. This awareness has caught the attention of not only the citizens of our nation (which are concerned with their safety),but it has captured the attention of our law makers and government officials. The president of the United States is calling for action and is pursuing new laws and sanctions in order to bring a sense of security back to our nation. What should be done?
People should be allowed to buy and use the weapons with less power and with limited number of bullets. That way if a violent incident happens, it should not be that deadly. The right to possess weapons is beneficial for citizens only when used by sensible people in the right way, or else it can be hazardous to same citizens. The government should connive at the passing of certain laws to make sure that weapons are being used for their citizen's safety and to avoid any future violent
