The reason for this is that in order to obtain a concealed weapon license, citizens must first take a class on gun safety, and learn the legalities concerning the use of lethal force. I highly agree with this particular law, only because its a smart idea to be educated on how to properly obtain a concealed weapon, rather than having no knowledge on how to even use the weapon and possibly putting someone's life in jeopardy. By teaching people proper gun safety fewer accidents will occur. Lott and Mustard stated: “allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes, and it appears to produce no increase in accident deaths” (82). Gun control supporters can count some victories during the past year, including the gun-safety regulations in Massachusetts and the defeat of concealed weapons bill in several states.
Nation’s Safety Gun control has remained an issue for several decades in U.S. It is legal for U.S citizens to possess weapons for their safety. People can protect themselves from robbers or killers if they are attacked, but the same weapons can also be used for assault instead of defense. Twenty-six U.S citizens died in Newton, Connecticut, because of a lack of gun control. Even though the U.S constitution in the second amendment has given the right to citizens to possess weapons, gun control laws should be strengthened to stop the supply of weapons to the wrong hands such as feral criminals, mentally ill people or children to avoid violent incidents, bloodshed and loss of several precious lives.
Politicians love to use the idea that removing legal guns will drastically reduce suicides, asassinations, gang-violence, school shootings, accidental child deaths, and general murders. They don’t consider the fact that someone that wants to kill themselves will do it anyway they can, or a college kid trying to tear up his school will just blow it up if he cant find a gun. Gang’s don’t use registered guns to commit their crimes, they use black market weapons. The result of implementing full gun control will not only endager the civilians of the country because they cannot defend themselves, but will also lead to people losing their freedom and living in fear. The criminals should be living in fear because they know that their victims have the ability to retaliate when attacked.
All this for something that kills you. Something that can only bring violence to the world. Something that starts wars. It’s not people that are the murderers: it’s the guns and the people that make them. Approximately two million students in the U.S.A take a gun to school every month and two thirds of them just need to look around their house to find it.
NRA has multiple courses available to educate, train, and guide citizens to become comfortable with their firearm. Police could never respond as quickly as someone can pull a trigger to commit a crime. The more concealed carry qualified citizens we have, the less chance for more innocent people to become
Kenneth Swygert Mrs. Stewart Lit IV-1 April 5, 2014 The Right to Bear Arms Statistically, out of the top ten causes of death in the world, deaths caused by firearms does not even make the list. In fact, the only cause to make the list that did not involve natural deaths was automobile related accidents. There are roughly 32,000 deaths caused by firearms each year in the United States. This may seem like a large number, but take a moment to look at the percentages. Out of these 32,000, suicide accounts for 60% of all gun related deaths in the U.S. About 3% of gun related deaths are accidental.
Some believe that children who go on shooting rampages should be tried as an adult. Other solution proponents proposed were new technology devices such as trigger locks and personalized guns. Opponents of gun control in schools believe that stricter laws and regulations are unnecessary. They believe that children will commit crimes regardless if they have a gun or not. They say that “it’s not the gun that pulls the trigger, but the person behind the gun that does.” If a child cannot use a gun, then he will use a knife or any other GUN CONTROL AND PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS AS AMERICANS 13 Weapon.
Teachers vs. Guns On December 14, 2012 something tragic happened at the Sandy Hook elementary in Connecticut. The attacker killed twenty six people – twenty of which are age six to seven. If teachers had a gun or the right training and defense they might have had stopped the attacker from killing that many people. Teachers should be allowed to be armed because of the following reasons; it is quicker and more efficient then just waiting, teachers are also trying their best to keep it safe, and they have the right to carry guns.
According to the most recent FBI data, 565 deaths under the age of 18 and 119 deaths under the age of 12 were a result of gun violence (Villet, "Life With Guns: Drawing a Bead on Safety"). Educating children about guns and safety will assist in reducing this number. In teaching gun safety, you teach children how to handle situations with guns, encourage children to question what is on television and teach children skills towards being a responsible adult. These benefits support the growing idea that educating children rather than sheltering them discourages children from improperly using guns. The first lesson learned at a gun range is gun safety.
