Why would a criminal follow gun control laws if he or she is already going to break the law to commit a crime? The gun control laws will be only hurting the law abiding citizens that enjoy using their gun rights for sport such as hunting. Gun control laws will be only taking away a form of protection that some people desperately need. Gun Control laws will only tear this country more apart and create more conflict between Democrats and Republicans. The United States Government needs to allow citizens to keep their rights and protection and live the way Americans have lived for the past two hundred
The say that what is a good idea is not the blanket ban of guns, which is unconstitutional because of new meaning of the second amendment, but rather a continuation of the current limits of guns and gun owners. It may not be “constitutional” for the government to put a complete ban on weapons, but it is proper for it to enact stronger restrictions to keep the rather terrifying weapons away from the people who cannot be trusted with a knife, much less than that of a
Yes, true but if we gun owners are responsible gun owner, and we do the right thing we can stop guns from reaching the streets. In the end, a sensible approach to gun violence would include prohibitions of all assault type weapons, more regulation of handguns, and working to make sure federal, state, and local have the tools to enforce the laws relating to firearms. I don’t know if gun control would have prevented the tragedies that took place in our nation, but I do believe that a fear of gun control will prevent us from understanding them. Gun ownership is a type of culture, and talking about whether gun control is right or wrong requires us to acknowledge this. We have to first admit that gun ownership changes a person.
But I agree with Sen. Patrick J. Leahy when he said that, “the biggest mistake we could make was to conclude that the terrorists threat was so great that we don’t need the Constitution. The first thing that we have to realize is not either or -this is not the Constitution versus capturing terrorist. We can have both.” I think that a way for the United States to balance out and security and rights is to refer back to the Constitution to make sure that the course of action that is being pursued is constitutional. Also, that if the government is to have more extended powers than they should extend more powers to the state as
If a person who holds a gun license threatens another individual physically or verbally should have their license provoked permanently, for the safety of the other individual. This solution can be very effective when it comes to saving a life. A gun is neither good nor bad; it often depends on how and why it is used. Whether you have a gun or not keep in mind that having one is a great responsibility, which requires much thought and effort on the part of the gun owner (Staff Writer). We need stricter laws on gun ownership, it seems that as long as an individual doesn’t have a criminal background they are allowed to bear arms.
The media is spreading a lot of false persuasions for gun which makes this subject so diverse and so argumentum. Since the national rifle association is fighting so hard to keep the second amendment the way it was written makes people realize that gun control may not be the best solution for the decrease of violent crimes in America. The positive view point’s of gun controls misconception makes the national rifle association strive harder to protect the seconded amendment of the bill of rights and benefit
In America they need to create better safety gun controls. They should have a smart gun, which the gun only fires in the hands of its owner which have a companion watch on. If a person doesn’t have the companion watch those guns would not be allowed to fire. As gun control is such a controversial topic that leads to arguments of whether it should be legalized or not, the idea that we would not be able to defend ourselves, should the need arise, is a horrific nightmare and almost a terrible reality. Legalizing gun control will only further the pain caused to our country through the many instances that have occurred in the past and recently.
Does the second amendment to the constitution seem irrelevant now? The second amendment to the constitution states, "a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon." The right to bear arms has been one of the most fiercely debated topics of the past few decades. The founding fathers of our country thought that the right to bear arms was the second most important right of the people. However, proponents of gun control have argued that the bill of rights that
It was also noted that the Brady act disrupted existing gun trafficking patterns. The Bray Laws not only keep gun out of the hands of high-risk individuals but also but also make gun trafficking much more risky and difficult. This is clearly evidence that stronger laws will prevent gun related
June 6, 2013 Gun Control Although the matter of gun control and the meaning of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is very well known and provokes large amounts of controversy, it is to note that there is fairly limited academic literature about public opinion about the subject. Some of the reference material is older, but it is important to note that gun control perspectives have barely changed over time. The two sides constantly struggle to find common ground in the legislation that is approved across the country, for example the “conservative” supporters of gun control base their opinions on the right to bear arms express in the Second Amendment, while the more “liberal” parties challenge those rights on the basis of historical and cultural changes to the country’s culture. Events as the recent school mass shootings in Connecticut, have served as a reignited factor in this disputes, with both sides arguing on the legality of ownership, type and access of these guns to the general population. The resulting arguments have conclude that the majority of public opinion have constantly held the dual position of accepting some form of gun control and/or registration, which limits access to firearms while simultaneously rejecting a complete ban or severe restrictions on gun possession.
