Then are those who hate guns, are terrified of guns, and think guns should all be illegal. All the original amendment rights have been altered in some way since they were first derived in the late 1700’s. Gun control is a touchy subject in America. Several years ago a shooting took place at Virginia Tech killing 32 people. This kind of violence allowed many questions to arise about what could have been done to avoid the shootings.
What has the Navy ever done for us? In the past, the Navy has done a lot for Britain and the United Kingdom. Nowadays, it can be said that the Navy is less needed because of the high increase in air travel and such, but many people still consider our Navy to be the best in the world. The Navy was first and foremost the sea army, protecting the country from the enemy (other countries). It did this by travelling all of the seas and fighting and other ships that threaten them.
One side to this ongoing argument is that all guns in the United States need to be banned. Many Americans feel this way, believing that, “violence is out of control. Guns are a major cause. They should all be banned- the sooner the better.” To be exact nearly three out of four Americans, 73%, believe that guns need to be under a lot more control. The second amendment says “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.” (Bill of Rights).
This websites goal is not only to go against guns, but also strike at the heart. As I scrolled down there was an important update which announced another shooting that killed young children along with the fact that it was the largest killing of children by a single shooter since the Sandy Hook massacre. On the Brady Campaign website it seems like they are trying to reach out to
They asked the court to declare Chicago law banning handguns unconstitutional. Chicago’s law does not expressly prohibit handgun ownership, but Justice Alito argued that it effectively does so. The law requires all owners of firearms to apply for a permit. Most handguns are excluded from the list of approvable firearms, therefore making it nearly impossible for any resident to own a handgun. Both the petitioners were ruled against by the United States District Court Judge and the United States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
These were mass shootings in very public places, schools. Between the years of 1996-2013 a total of 84 attackers committed 77 attacks on schools in 15 countries killing 502 students and teachers and wounding 496 others worldwide. (See Table 1) It is my belief that these attacks were orchestrated upon the most helpless in our society in order to incite mass fear and chaos! Each crime was perpetrated with both handguns and rifles, or what these days are referred to as “assault rifles.” The term “assault rifle” is yet another mainstream media scare tactic designed solely for fear because many believe that for a civilian to possess what looks like a military weapon they must intend to murder. Hatred of other people because of race or status and the belief that “Someone” is holding them back is truly what is at the heart of killing and that guns are just the tool of choice.
Overall the constitution itself has become very outdated and has a number of serious faults, the most prominent of which is the issue of the amendment process and the out of date amendments already in place. The 2nd amendment is the main example of this, giving all US citizens the right to bear arms despite a much more urbanised population, and a great increase in weapons technology has been seen as a possible cause for mass killings, including that of children in cases such as the massacre in Sandy Hook school where Adam Lanza fatally shot twenty children and six adult staff members and the Virginia tech massacre where Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, approximately
Fist of all they brought with them superior weaponry. The Native Americans at the time were only using primitive weapons by our standards, and here the Europeans come with muskets and body armor. Although this is by no means the only reason that they were able to conquer America it did help in the fact that it made them a superior force, it made them harder to kill which made them more powerful. Along with their advanced weaponry they had the fact that all of their forces were consolidated. The Native Americans despite having a staggering lead in the number of bodies were spread out among the country.
Domestic terrorism has occurred in The United States since it's founding, and to better understand the reasoning behind it and to prevent it we must know exactly what it is. What is domestic terrorism? Domestic terrorism is that act of committing terrorism against one's own country, with no direction or involvement from foreign sources. There are many different organizations dedicated to causing domestic terrorism, some solely in The United States. Although there are many groups dedicated to domestic terrorism, many acts of terrorism are committed by lone individuals or small groups.
The most respected amendment of the constitution in the United States is the second amendment. It is also the most controversial topic in America due to many citizens owning a firearm or more and by taking them away, it would be a violation of that amendment since it gives citizens the right to bear arms. Controlling the people’s rights is something the British did in which ignited the American Revolution. Now, it is understood that gun control is not something that every American will start a revolution for, but to the people who believe in the second amendment and has the right to own a gun legally will instigate many to revolt against the government. Another way of looking at it is to look throughout history.
