It is not safe for anyone to be able to get their’ hands on certain gun. For the safety of our nation, there should be more in-forced restriction on who is able and not able to purchase a gun. There are about 200 to 250 million guns in America, and of these, about a third are handguns, which means the other 2/3rds are more powerful guns. Within all the different kinds of weapons, guns are used in approximately 70 percent of killings according to the FBI. 70 percent is an unbelievable high number when it comes to homicides.
One very strong one is that fear drives people to be against gun control. Just like in the play, when people get afraid that they will be hurt or torn from their families, they blame others out of fear. One strong counterpoint that the argument has is that due to the second amendment,” nobody will take your guns away.” Just like in “The Crucible,” families do not want to be torn apart because of false accusations and safety precautions. People with the most knowledge about guns make up the highest percentage of people that own guns. Unlike in the play where kids start the blame-fest and everybody believes
Violent Crime is on the Increase Because of Gun Control Gun Control in England Gun control is an act by the controlling government to limit or eliminate the sale or use of guns. England has taken this idea to the max and now has the strictest laws concerning guns in any free country. England’s politicians have yet to discover that gun control laws do not protect its people. Crime rates have increased in all of England and it now has the most crime compared to any other democratic country in the world (Smith). Gun control does not work for many reasons such as ; it gives criminals more confidence (Smith) , limits the the civilians ability to protect themselves, and in the end is a direct cause of an increase in violent crime.
Without this gun, a dangerous or mentally insane criminal would likely injure or kill the victim with an illegally obtained gun or other weapon. If one focuses on the fact that criminals are obtaining their weapons illegally the large majority of the time, another hole can be seen in the argument of gun control advocates; criminals certainly do not obey the law, so if guns are very hard or impossible to obtain legally, this will not stop a criminal. So what if one was to look at a crime taking place in a society where guns are illegal? The scene would play out something like: a law abiding citizen would have their home invaded by a criminal with a gun, obtained illegally, and could do nothing as the criminal violated their safety, stole from them, and possibly injured or even killed the helpless victim who could not defend themselves without a gun. Criminals with guns would run amok robbing and murdering with no citizen
That's because anti-gun laws don't affect criminals, who ignore the laws. Government studies prove it, finding that most criminals get guns through theft or the black market, where gun laws have no effect. Wayne Lapierre. Chief Executive Officer, National Rifle Association states” The 20,000 anti-gun laws already on the books in states, cities, and towns throughout the U.S. too often disarm innocent victims. That's one reason why violent crime is often highest in places with the toughest anti-gun laws.
Majority of the laws that congress is passing are only good for the typical Caucasian male and not for the African American male and or the African American teen male that typically tends to end up in the worst case situation. The reason I say it is typically for the Caucasian male is because the laws that we have on guns are more along the lines for hunting like the NRA law that states that “as long as you are 13 with a hunters license you can buy and or sell a hunters rifle”. If you ask me the NRA doesn’t know how to control themselves let alone a gun. Many people think that since the NRA has been in business since the 1720s they know what they are talking but that’s not the case. A movement to ban handguns began in the 1920s in the Northeastern, led by the conservative business establishment.
Some people feel that the issue of gun control will limit crime and the fact that guns are necessary for self-defense against crime, and that enforcing gun control is a violation against a citizen’s second amendment right to bear arms. Possession of a handgun should be strictly regulated, because they are made solely to kill, and they have even allowed children to easily kill themselves and others, and they have increased the murder rate in the U.S. The reason handguns should be outlawed from citizens is that their main purpose is to kill other human beings. Why would our country allow us to have a right of possessing a deadly weapon? For the most part, our government seems to want to
They are rare and hard to get access to, having very strict licensing laws. The pro-arming argument is that the Police would be a deterrent and would protect the officers. People who say that arming the Police would be a deterrent use other armed countries as an example of why we should have it; I don't believe this is an accurate view of the matter. Worldwide 2011 crime statistics show that in the USA there were 12, 664 murders, and 8,583 were caused by firearms. Compared to the UK where 648 murders where only 58 were caused by firearms.
First, people are so stressed out because of the economy all over the world especially in USA.There are so many unemployed people even if they are employed they are not happy with their jobs and what they do. US government should change the laws and make all people get gun licence before they can buy a gun. They all should get psyhcologically tested before they get a gun license.It is very difficult to judge whether the person keeps the handgun purely for protection purposes or for some other purpose. it will be impossible to distinguish the honest and dishonest activities. * Secondly, if they dont get license and some test before buying a gun Everybody will try to ensure his protection by his handgun and the trust to police and the crimes will increase.
The Great Debate Have you ever thought a gun was just going to shoot someone? Even, if no one is around? Well, that is how the majority of people who want gun control think; whether they know it or not. The problem with their argument is it’s all emotion and not enough fact. I will explain why more gun control is bad, and some that we already have are bad, for the United States of America; based on answers of why people think we need gun control.
