If you analyze the photo you will notice that gun violence is not the subject of just one area in Philadelphia, it has taken over the whole city As you see below it is a recurring issue, one hand to the other. From the easy access of guns which gun laws provide; that leads to the death of innocent people which results in even more guns. The reason more guns is the final result is because people the innocent lives lost’ family members result to gun violence also. I lived right next door to the mother of a police officer who died in the
As you can see people have some crazy arguments as to why we need gun control like gun control will lower crime rates, less people will die when involved in criminal attacks, and who needs a gun for protection when we have law enforcement for protection. But, these are all clearly pathetic arguments when it comes to swaying the majority. No matter what way they want to look at it, gun control will not work in any
Its importance it literally unparalleled in our governing system and it is just a shame that in the worst case they are not even looking to reform the second amendment, rather destroy it and take all the guns. If the defense of the Constitution is our number one agenda then we as a nation should stop trying to downplay its everlasting
I was fumbling through my purse trying to find my license, and then though my glove box for my registration, it felt like it took forever. I was terrified, thinking I have just ruined my entire day. Why did I have to get pulled over today? I was driving South down M-13 not paying attention to how fast I was going, I was
When he walked in, he realized he was the only one in the store besides a customer at the counter. When he questioned the customer if anyone was working, he turned around and pointed a gun in Albom’s face. Albom was commanded to get in the closet or he would be killed. While reading this part of the essay, I had placed myself in the author’s shoes. I then understood why Albom feels so strongly about gun control bills.
Most agree that gun-related injury or death of innocent citizens should never be tolerated, but there are opinions on the course to take in an effort to discover a solution. This paper will offer problems and solutions associated with past and present efforts to manage the issue of gun-related injuries/death. This paper will also render the discoveries and opinions of the above-mentioned group members as it relates to this controversial topic. Stricter gun-control laws do not help prevent gun-related injuries/deaths One method to prevent gun-related injuries/deaths is to make serious efforts to treat depression, mental health issues, and drug abuse in society. A large number of gun-related injuries/deaths are committed by members of society that have untreated disorders and others that simply neglect firearm safety rules and existing gun-control laws.
There are a lot more pros than cons in this situation and Granderson was right: “There is no same shooting” and therefore there cannot be just one generalized solution to this issue. There may be ways to help make shootings less of an issue, but they will never go away. Some people are just crazy and believe that killing someone is the solution. In conclusion, guns should not be controlled; they should be a right that is never taken away from
Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Drunk drivers and texting are one of the most causes of car wrecks but yet we do not outlaw these items. All the shootings and stuff that has happened is not because the gun wanted to do it but the person controlling the gun. Fertilizer killed people in Oklahoma on April 19, 1995 but you can still buy it and rent a van for less than buying a gun. It is not the guns fault for people wanting to kill people.
Unfortunately these catastrophes are becoming more and more frequent. In their immediate aftermath people come out and want to ban guns. On the other side, pro-gun advocates fight tooth and nail to protect the rights of themselves and other gun owners. Ultimately very little gets accomplished. We as a society need to take steps to drastically reduce the number of acts of violence committed with guns.
They feel the focus should be on mental health care issues and that everyone should not be punished for the wrong-doing of others. They often refer to other situations in comparison to make their points making statements for example: people drive cars and kill others every day, but they aren’t taking cars away. If you took a picture of a wrecked car, or even a 26 car pile-up and held it next to a picture of the 20 children being removed in body bags from the school in Connecticut one would see how foolish that comparison is. It is the belief of many American citizens that stricter gun laws will reduce violence by having fewer guns on the street, especially that of high powered assault weapons that have been used in several mass shootings in the past. The most recent being the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut where 20 children and six adults were shot and killed in only a matter of minutes by a loan gun-man with mental health
