What if that was one of your family member, wouldn’t you want them to be able to protect themselves? I would think so. Many people don’t think of gun violence this way but, it is very true. “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” It’s the person behind the gun that causes the death and deviation known with gun violence. So gun control is not the answer to the problem.
If the adults cannot buy a gun legally there is always the other option, to get them from selling them illegally When responsible adults buy a gun, they most likely will not use it to murder people. They would use it so they can help themselves. A lot of people are in danger every day and most of them don’t have any protection. Guns aren’t the best way to solve a problem but if you are in need for some help and protection, then a gun can help a lot. 67% of Americans own a gun for protection from crime.
Although these ideals seem simple to many people, they are lost on the majority of the Democratic Party in America. The Second Amendment of the Constitution clearly states that "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." This right to keep and bear arms entails a right to own weapons for the sole purpose of defense. It is important to note that the word “Arms” does not apply strictly to firearms, but rather to any armament. This gross oversight has been the core fallacy to many gun control campaigns.
You decide. Now a days gun are easier to get then STDs and the reason for that is the poorly looked over gun system that we have here in the United States. The type of gun system that we have is so little that a 13 year old child can by a hunters rifle without a license but we have to have one to buy a pistol, that well never get used. The system that we have here in the U.S is not the dream system; ever day children are dying because more and more kids are getting their hands on guns that they are not even supposed to even be thinking about letting alone trying to
Private Citizens should have handguns and not military weapons. It cannot be denied that if more people are allowed to own and carry guns, deaths and injuries from the weapons will also subsequently increase. However, the solution does not exist alone in any one law. Americans should restore the ban on military style assault weapons and a 10-round limit for magazines and enforce existent gun laws because weapons of war have no place on our streets. No law or set of laws can
In addition, we don’t need assault weapon to protect ourselves, its not a 'civilians' job to stop criminals who possess guns, it is the police's job. However, we can’t stop people to bear gun because that is civil right for all the citizen according to the second amendment of U.S constitution. I understand some amount of people do need a gun for outdoor activity like hunting, this is different from those people who use it to commit crimes. They should allow to bear gun but they should be registered and have done the background checks before the purchase a gun. In conclusion, a lot people says that they need a gun to protect themselves, but Unfortunately there are many misguided individuals in our society, and I believe that a society would be better off if they had less access to
Not only did this study state that the weapons banned were only used in a small percent of crimes even before the ban, but also "found no statistical evidence of post-ban decreases in either the number of victims per gun-homicide incident, the number of gunshot wounds per victim, or the proportion of gunshot victims with multiple wounds. "(Koper, Roth 67) So even if Congress bans these vaguely named assault weapons it will most likely be as ineffective as the last time they did so. Some take issue with the ban not because of its’ functionality problems, but because they feel it violates their rights as
When you think of gun control, you automatically think of someone trying to take away your right to express the 2nd Amendment (the right to bear arms); however, this ideal is wrong due to our lack of knowledge about the term. Gun control refers to the laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms. (In other words, they are the glue that allows us to exercise this right, but in a safe way). The term above does not lead us to do away with our democratic rights, but rather provides a protection to the lives of people in our own land. Every single day someone dies here in America due to guns, whether it is by suicide, school shootings, or just even children playing around at home with an open gun at home.
To quote the second amendment “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.” (U.S. bill of rights 1791)the second amendment says nothing about muskets. In 1791 a musket was an assault rifle, it was top of the line, it was military, and it shot faster than the years before, and also to some a little scary looking. People also say that they hunted with muskets but you can’t do it with an assault rifle, but the author of this essay uses an AR-15 (M-4) with a pistol fore grip and a forty five round magazine which has never shot anything but beaver, gators, deer, and
In those countries it is nearly impossible for you to buy any kind of gun. In those countries there are no gun shows. In those countries they have strict gun laws. Even though we have been able to bear arms in our countries past, it would benefit our nation as a whole if we restricted and controlled guns. Such actions would help lower our nations homicide and suicide rates, help eliminate teen and child gun related deaths, and to decrease armed robbery.
