These people feel that repealing the Second Amendment would solve the problem. These people feel that there are two reasons for the repeal; one is the rising of violence among teenagers, the second reason is their interpretation of the Second Amendment which could be considered a strict one. The side opposing these views uses arguments like how it would be impossible to repeal the Second Amendment, and a long western civilizations history with a right to bear arms. Finally one can see the conflict of views dealing with the Second Amendment, but one would also see that repealing the amendment wouldn't solve the problem facing our society. The controversy of this issue that has the potential to pulverize this country is why it is such a good topic to discuss, people should be better informed and make a decision based on fact and not fiction.
As previously stated, there is no clear indication of the commission of a criminal act. The officer should have obtained a license plate from the vehicle. This information can be used to track the suspect. Finally, the deputy should face harsh discipline for the use of force issues. He is carrying an unauthorized less lethal weapon, the TASER, which his actions show he is not competent to use.
So, while politicians talk about the “desperate prison crisis”, we should think about where the actual desperation really lies. The problem is that we need to stop incarcerating vast amounts of non-violent offenders for 25 years to life. Non-violent criminals with minor offenses should not be dictated under the three-strike law. Even with this simple change in the three-strike law, our society would save more money funding other alternatives such as prime prevention strategies. These strategies include programs designed to reduce repeat victimization in domestic burglary, theft, and any other violence.
As General Sherman observed, “War is hell.” The sniper is a veteran of war: his eyes are those of a man “who is used to looking at death” (O’ Flaherty 1). He has witnessed much destruction. The Republican sniper was highly experienced because he applied many maneuvers such as shooting from a great distance with a revolver and other things he learned over the years. Another way the republican sniper proved that he’s experienced was by quickly dressing his injury after being shot; he was able to dress his own wound and persevere. One can also notice his knowledge related to war when he realized that his rifle wouldn’t pierce the armored car from a great distance, proving his knowledge of rifles and armored vehicles.
You’ve to find out who has the access to those guns, especially when people are irrational, deranged and so forth. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) stated “the worst thing we can do is create a false sense of security. Graham also states that he’s open o establishing a commission to help members understand what they could logically do to prevent mass murder. Sen. Marco Rubio (R. Fla.) said there were “specific ideas” that could be debated, but he is committed to protect what is a constitutional right. Analysis Republicans don’t agree with the assault weapon bans.
It is true, Americans have the right to bear arms as stated in the 2nd Amendment, but these guns can end up in the wrong hands. I believe it is okay to own a rifle or shotgun for hunting, at times they can be used for self-defense. Why should everyday people be allowed to own automatic guns when most calm it is for self-defense? They shouldn’t, but yet they are. America makes it too easy to buy a gun, this may be a reason why the gun murder rate is so
They consider the prohibition of an effective means of self-defense to be unethical. For instance, in Thomas Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," a quote from Cesare Beccaria reads, "laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes ... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed
However, to a large extend the figures in the two sources do show that prohibition was not successful. The public were producing more and more alcohol as a result of the restrictions placed on them. Prohibition went against the previously accepted way of life and restricting this only helped to push the production and drinking of alcohol underground. People became very clever at finding ways to obtain recipes for producing their own alcohol and the 25% increase in illegal stills seized by the government proves this. If the police were doing their job properly, the figures should be decreasing not increasing.
Sure, guns fire out bullets that can injure and possibly kill others, but who makes the guns fire? The people who pull the trigger do. What the people of the U.S. need to is to stop focusing on stricter gun control laws and focus on the topic on hand. Mass murderers such as James Holmes of the Aurora shooting and Seung-Hui Cho, who committed the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, have mental illnesses. Funding should be given to research of how to cure mental illnesses that lead to destruction.
Using this logic, citizens would be denied the ability to drive cars because drunk drivers use them to kill people. Rand completely fails to mention that the right to carry concealed firearms is a fundamental attribute of decentralized US crime-fighting initiatives that have made an unambiguously positive impact on society—not only on gun violence—but also on broader crime categories that include murder, rape, and robbery. These benefits are mostly long-term, as any immediate increase in crime after the passage of concealed carry laws is “dwarfed over time by the decrease in crime associated with the post-law trend” (Moody & Marvell, 2008, p. 270). Furthermore, according to data collected by the Violence Policy Center over the last four years, murders committed by “permit-holders amount to fewer than one of every 200 murders. For every
