Therefore, to protect ourselves from becoming a victim of these criminals, we need to be able to own and use a gun to protect ourselves when absolutely needed. For example, if a criminal was to break into my home with a gun in their hand,
They government is emphasizing more on the fully automatic weapons, explosives, armor and other things that only the military should have access to. Some people do not see that the violence taking place in the U.S. has to do with the access to guns and the mental health of the individual. The people who are victims to some of the most recent shootings should speak up and tell others why we need to make obtaining these types of weapons much more difficult. Many individuals choose what they want to see, hear and believe, as in seeing the massacres happen and believing the government is taking their right away and not letting them have what they have the right to have, which is “the right to bear arms.” Most citizens do not see that making further background checks and regulation on the amount of ammunition that is
With the help of Cliffnotes’ proof that gun control is unhelpful paired with a better alternative to gun control, it’s obvious that there are better solutions to criminal activity involving gun violence other than controlling who can bare arms. Vox did a fantastic job of verifying that giving our educators concealed carry creates more problem than solution, helping to show just how ridiculous it seems to follow through with the idea of letting teachers handle arms. To put the cherry on the cake, Washington Post was able to easily drive home true statistics that helped to unveil the truth of the general public's’ opinion on letting educators bare arms during class time. While deciding on how reduce gun violence is no cake walk, it has become clear that concealed carry for educators and gun control are both not the right answer. As Oliver would agree, it’s a lot better to punish those controlling the guns, rather than the guns
Gun casualties and incidents throughout the country have woken the public up from its ignorance and shown them the danger guns can pose to society (Martinez, 2013). While some people want a complete blanket ban on the ownership of guns, others wants an easier access to guns so that every person may look after their own security. Part of what makes the term gun control a very controversial topic is that it’s used in a ambiguous way that does not explain the details of the issue and the demands, apart from literally controlling guns. The two prominent sides of the debate are the groups who ask for liberal gun laws that make it easier for a person to procure guns and conversely, there are groups who want to repeal the second amendment. I personally am a strong believer that an “ideal society” should have no guns; nevertheless crime is a big problem to the citizens of our society and guns are necessary.
The owner then goes to the drawer and pulls a gun on the person. That person just saved her life some ways of that gun violence can be reduced”(Bender 165-166). They claim that doing all this will help reduce gun violence. Trying to rehabilitate criminals might not be that effective. They also claim that death isn’t the only problem guns create.
In conclusion, People in America with legal guns can protect themselves from many criminals that happened in this big country, and they live in a safe place. Private guns ownership should continue to be legal because they intensely reduce crimes. Furthermore, handgun lows reduce the number of attempted crimes because criminals are uncertain which victoms can defend themselves. For instance, when guns are banned, the criminal know that they are the only ones who are armed. Thus, the rates of criminals increase.
People who do not use guns the proper way use them for robbery. When someone puts a gun to your face, you are going to give the gunman what he/she wants because you want your life. So another reason why people use guns is to have people fear them. When people fear someone that has a weapon, they
But for some reason criminals are always in a hurry, they won’t wait for you to use the phone to dial just those three necessary numbers. When a criminal breaks into your home which is faster a police car half way across town or a pistol inside a safe next to your bed? Maybe citizens should just wait for the shooter to shoot himself though, since statistics say he is more likely to shoot himself or should citizens wait for him to run out of bullets and people to shoot. Gun control activists may conclude “Well why not outlaw bullets in guns?, People don’t need many bullets to defend themselves.” But they may need a warning shot , so give you may need to give them one bullet. On the other hand what if they miss ?
The Right to Bear Arms Constitutional of Not? Let’s say one day you’re exiting a shopping center almost to your car when suddenly, two men confront you and demand all your money and the keys to your car. You are completely helpless with nothing to defend yourself with as the two men take your belongings. Maybe a quick flash of a concealed handgun would have scared them off, loaded or not just the fact that they know you could put up a fight would have most likely scared them away. Would carrying a concealed weapon make every day citizens feel safer knowing they have something to defend themselves with instead of standing by and watching while criminals break in their homes or even rob them on the streets.
