A certain type of gun should only be allowed to a certain person. Such as if your job is in the government or any other trusted position then you can be trusted. The sales representative or manger can also check for criminal back ground or anything suspicious about them. If this becomes a law then people who have committed crimes know not to come to a store and buy a gun or else they could be sent to jail. Less people will have an access to a gun causing fewer deaths to happen by gun violence conflicts.
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.
When someone thinks of the word “handgun” their minds will automatically think of something small, concealable, and deadly. What some people do not realize is that it is not handguns that commit the crime, but the hands and actions of the criminal. Allowing handguns to remain legal will allow individuals to feel safer and secure in their homes and it also protects our constitutional right to bear arms. Banning handguns will not only increase crime, but it will create a new situation that is similar to drug trafficking. With rising crime rates, law abiding citizens should be buying handguns to protect themselves.
According to Cook and Ludwig, the U.S has over 200 million firearms in private hands (Cook & Ludwig, 1996). The impact of these guns has not only been to deter crime but to also commit them. Gun control is meant to curb crime that occurs through firearms. However, gun control does not achieve the intended goal because guns that are registered are not used in crimes. Illegal smuggling of guns has been a norm in the country.
Although police officers stand for peace, there are many countries where people view police not as the hero but as the villain. Even in safe, developed countries like Canada and the United States, acts of police misconduct have occurred. For these reasons, police officers should not be allowed to carry firearms. Eliminating guns won’t eliminate police misconduct; however it will take some power away from them but that can be good because they will also be gaining power this way. It sounds confusing but when people see a man with a gun, no matter what side of the law he is on, they will get intimidated and possibly fear him.
They believe that select faculty on college campuses would use the personal firearms out of anger to hurt their students. This is not true. Instead, if only select faculty members on college campuses are given firearms, the complete opposite will occur. The faculty, trained with a firearm and very self-controlled, will be ready to protect their students at all costs. This is because trained faculty with no criminal record are highly likely to defend their students in the case of an emergency, even to
It is also argued by supported that other crimes could be deterred and students and faculty alike would be able to protect themselves from these dangers and feel safe. The opposition believes that the legal carrying of a concealed weapon on a college campus can potentially create a very dangerous situation. Those who adhere to this belief are concerned that the presence of weapons on campus will detract from the learning environment of college campuses by adding an additional safety concern. There is also concern regarding the lack of training of the persons carrying the weapon. For example, those who have a permit to carry concealed weapons
But then again if the gun weren’t there the person who wanted to shoot somebody didn’t have the possibility to do so. If you don’t have a gun lying around you won’t get in a situation where you can shoot somebody. I think that guns should be legal but not in the scale they have in the US. They need to make laws so that with every gun there is a license and registration, and if the gun you have is not registered in your name it’s illegal. Just like owning a car.
Living in fear is not how we want to live. Guns provide people with a false sense of safety, and it's true that guns do not kill people, but rather people do. Therefore, more guns do not solve gun shootings and mass school shootings but is danger for the society. Comparing to other countries that don't allow people to have guns, such as the China, the gun crime rate and murder rate is a lot lower than those same statistics in the US. 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.
Democrats in no way wish to undermine the right to the second amendment but do wish to establish strong laws to who can and cannot bear a gun for example restricting guns to be issued in the hands of previous criminals, stalkers, person going under mental services, background checks for gun sales, etc. not that someone doing right in society isn’t capable of doing such harm but that crime may be lessen in society this way the right is not taken away but
