If you look at serial killers who go on for decades without being caught, they have to have some sort of intelligence to pull that off. I wouldn’t doubt that they are very intelligent people. Just because they chose to do awful things doesn’t mean that they are dumb, or even uneducated. On the other hand, do I think that this theory applies to every criminal act committed? No.
Hawkins uses the Harvard study to rebut the opposing side’s argument. This tactic held my attention to the article and supported my point of view. * Boseley’s article was a good article that would have been difficult to argue with. There are more and more mass shootings in the United States every week. But that can’t be the only thing that’s looked at.
This is assuming that the criminal who is breaking countless laws as it is has decided to abide by the gun control law. If he/she has not, the offender now has even more of an upper hand. This being said, it is easy to argue that a law banning civilians from owning guns would actually increase crimes. A great example of this is England. The two years following the 1997 draconian gun ban, crime rose by 40% according to BBC
Crime hasn’t always been an issue for Cincinnati; however, this has changed in recent years. Since 2001, the crime rate in Cincinnati has risen tremendously. “From 2001 to 2006, however, the city averaged 73.3 homicides per year, representing a 300% increase in homicides and culminating in a modern-day high of 89 homicides in 2006 (Engel et al., 2008).” Something had to be done in order for this increase in violence to stop. This is where the CIRV comes into play. The CIRV was created in 2007 to help prevent and stop violence on the streets of Cincinnati.
", Frank Zimring, Summer 1968 4. ” Expanded Homicide Table 8”, Federal Bureau of Inverstigation, Spring 2012 Thesis Paragraph: Gun control has been a hot topic in the United States for over a decade now, and it isn’t about to go away. 116,975,100 citizens of all walks of life who take part in exercising their second amendment right are falling victim to the negligence of .00002% of the population, leaving their right to bear arms to be questioned by the very government that granted its citizens this right centuries ago. Reasons that many pro-gun control activists vary, however, upon further examination of exactly who these people are and what kind of experience they have had with firearms, it becomes clear that a frightening portion of these people grew up without seeing any benefit whatsoever in their second amendment right. Instead, just like every other
and Robert Kennedy the 1960’s were two foundational instances when the government knew they had to act and strengthen gun control laws. Gun control laws have always been an issue for every state. One of the biggest issues is that we don’t have enough people that are willing to speak up for stricter gun control laws. According to an Associated Press poll in December, “only half of Americans thought that gun laws should be stricter and 15% actually said they should be less strict.” I think we can all agree that gun control laws should be stricter. There are people who are mentally ill that are able to purchase guns with the intent of killing people.

The government’s fidelity to the Constitution is never more tested than in a time of crisis. The urge to do something – or to appear to be doing something – is nearly irresistible to those whom we have employed to protect our freedom and to keep us safe. Regrettably, with each passing violent crisis – Waco, Oklahoma City, Columbine, 9/11, Newtown and now the Boston Marathon – our personal freedoms continue to slip away, and the government itself remains the chief engine of that slippage. The American people made a pact with the devil in the weeks and months following 9/11 when they bought the Bush-era argument that by surrendering liberty they could buy safety. But that type of pact has never enhanced either liberty or safety, and its fruits are always bitter.
Over the last decade our Countries gun violence has increased dramatically. Each year the percentages keep rising. The Gun Violence Archive numbers say that in 2017, gun homicides are rising faster in some cities than they are falling in others. Something needs to happen with gun control. In author Paul Waldman article it stated that “Over 30,000 Americans dead every year, and tens of thousands more maimed and paralyzed.” Our country has a very bad reputation on how dangerous and violent we are.
