His research says that possession of firearms shows no evidence of “more guns less crime”. Research on firearm possession and risk of violent death is reviewed. Also that having guns in the home can also facilitate suicides or homicides and the increased risk of violent deaths. Since guns do not have the ability to load themselves and find a target, every person has to make a conscious decision to commit a crime using a gun. With the new concealed weapons law passed in Illinois, criminals must think about if wonder if their next victim will be carrying a concealed weapon or not.
Then there are those who believe that they have “the right to bear arms”. That responsible gun owners should not have to suffer the consequences of such regulations. Neither argument has found a solution to solving the United States rate of gun crimes. Neither side of the argument seems to be seeing the larger picture. The debate
At times I feel as if I am incarcerated, even though I am a free citizen. I think the solution to ridding gun violence is to get rid of all the guns. Since that'll never happen, we need to make guns less accessible by creating federal legislation, applying it uniformly throughout every state. Easy gun accessibility is the reason why there are so many homicides because it is easier to pull a trigger than by attacking with a knife or other foreign object. I feel that handguns and assault weapons should be outlawed altogether because too many people misuse them.
That’s why I think it would only reduce gun violence, not make it go away completely. Also if they the government did take away all the guns in the U.S I think it would be a more brutal way for someone to die, and what I mean by that is, it’s really easy to have a gun and shoot somebody, but what if there’s a person trying to stab you or choke you with a chain or something, I would hope you would at least try to fight back and not go down so easy like you would if a person had a gun because there’s not much you can do when someone is pointing a gun at you. The situation just becomes a big fight and you would probably die very brutally. Also I think about what it would do to the women of this country. Many
More gun control laws will fix this and make it significantly harder for bad people to obtain guns. Others may think that it is an invasion of privacy to make people undergo background checks before obtaining a gun. Indeed, for a few people, background checks will be considered an invasion of privacy. However, it is very necessary. If there were not any background checks before owning a gun, it is possible for a terrorist or criminal to acquire a gun, like they can now.
It also doesn’t make sense to blame an inanimate object rather than the individual behind it and the reasons why gun violence occurs. A gun is a tool, not unlike a car or knife. When a law-abiding citizen makes the decision to purchase a gun, it is usually for the purpose of self-defense. It evens the playing field between a victim and a potentially dangerous criminal. In the story “They Each Had a Gun,” Hannah LaMarca was robbed and assaulted with no way to defend herself.
. The second amendment, which protects citizens’ right to keep and bear arms, is part of the Bill of Rights in The United States Constitution. This amendment was written to give law abiding citizens the right to own guns for hunting, sporting, and protection purposes. However, over time, it seems that this amendment has been challenged and interpreted to the point of distorting the original intention of the right. Today, citizens can freely purchase weapons that can be used for hurting others.
The Bill Of Rights was ratified on December 15, 1791. Many wish that that law had been left out, but the Second Amendment was added specifically for protection. If citizens decide to buy and have firearms in there house hold, only if they are willing to us it when necessary, the Constitution has a law to protect then. Otherwise there will be consequences. I believe that not just anyone can buy guns.
Gun Control There are new laws and regulations being made all the time in the United States. Politicians think that by making these new laws it will fix their current problems. This is the case right now with the problems they are having with gun control. There is another side to this as well, if well behaved citizens want to carry a concealed weapon they can and this could help prevent bad occurrences from happening. If the right people carry guns it would make for a safer community.
Gun Control and the Effect on Modern Society Abstract This paper will explore the positive and negative effects of gun control on modern American society. This paper will also provide a broad range of incidents in the past and present years where a carry concealed weapon permit (CCW) holder has greatly changed the outcome of possible mass shootings; as well as give an understanding of how the United States government is attempting to revoke the Second Amendment right. However, a fair approach will be given in order to provide a balanced interpretation on the subject of gun control. Administering the facts that will be provided will be given to enlighten the public on how the ownership of firearms is a right and tradition of American society. Premise Statement Society must understand that increasing gun control is not the answer to prevent mass shootings.
