They claim that if shooters do not have the ability to shoot off 30 rounds of ammunition then just maybe you could reduce the loss of lives. Larry Ornberg, a well-respected Federal District judge of San Diego and a gun owner stated that “… by regulating the amount of gun ammunition we might be able to take the “mass” out of “mass shooting” or at least make the perpetrator’s job a bit harder”. In other words, if you limit the amount of bullets a gun round can fire, While it may be true that if you regulate the amount a magazines rounds a gun can fire, it might reduce the amount of casualties, you cannot regulate morality. If a violent criminal has his or her heart fixed on committing a crime, they are going to find the means for commit that crime no matter what. It makes no different if they have 10 of 30 rounds of ammunition.
Every single day someone dies here in America due to guns, whether it is by suicide, school shootings, or just even children playing around at home with an open gun at home. (Truth is we need laws and systems like this). It is a way we can reduce the number of killings by guns in our country that happen on an everyday basis. Although the individuals in the class may not have suicidal thoughts, there are many other people who do have to endure a daily struggle of debating whether or not to take their own life away. Whether we believe it or not, our youth is killing themselves and the leading way is by guns.
Gun Control “How many have to die before we will give up these dangerous toys?” This quote is from Stephen King a famous author and it was in support of banning assault weapons. Stricter gun laws will cut down on gun related deaths and will also prevent future acts of terror and violence. In 2011 there was 12,664 murders in the United States, 6,220 were due to handguns alone, that is about 49% of the total murders. This horrifying number has been the cause of some pretty big arguments over the last 4 years and let me tell you why. Most gun activists stand by the 2nd amendment but does it really make sense to do that lets just think for a second why was the 2nd amendment made?
What does this mean? What it means is that guns balance the power between the strong and the defenseless, making it more difficult for the strong to overcome the susceptible. III. Getting rid of guns does not get rid of violence. Some people think that if we just get rid of guns, violence will lower dramatically.
GUN POSSESSION Name Course GUN POSSESSION Gun Possession is and has been a thorny issue especially considering it’s correlation to crime and murder rates. Gun violence is costly and causes ripples in every segment of society. In my view, an approach that would involve some dull accounting exercise of suming up medical expenditures and earnings lost due to gun related injury, narrowly misses the point. The strain on the healthcare system or a reduction in labor size have little to do with public concern on gun violence. One is driven more by the thought of safety than anything else.
Just a few of the laws that Dianne is proposing is: Ban on certain more dangerous firearms, ban on importation of assault weapons and large capacity magazines, and no magazines more than ten rounds. this laws are intended to stop unnecessary use of firearms. although these laws may be able to stop the majority of criminals from getting weapons, its impossible to rid all weapons from the hands of criminals. These laws may represent the wrong balance, and could hurt America rather than helping it. Other
Gun control laws have become such a huge controversy in the United States due to the fact that citizens believe their Second Amendment right is being taken away from them. In my eyes, I believe that extended gun control measures should be taken to ensure that access to assault weapons should be limited to certain people. I believe one deserve a well rounded background check to see if any mental health issues are visible. I also believe you have the right to own a weapon and the government is not trying to take away your hunting rifles, personal permitted handguns, etc. They government is emphasizing more on the fully automatic weapons, explosives, armor and other things that only the military should have access to.
Gun casualties and incidents throughout the country have woken the public up from its ignorance and shown them the danger guns can pose to society (Martinez, 2013). While some people want a complete blanket ban on the ownership of guns, others wants an easier access to guns so that every person may look after their own security. Part of what makes the term gun control a very controversial topic is that it’s used in a ambiguous way that does not explain the details of the issue and the demands, apart from literally controlling guns. The two prominent sides of the debate are the groups who ask for liberal gun laws that make it easier for a person to procure guns and conversely, there are groups who want to repeal the second amendment. I personally am a strong believer that an “ideal society” should have no guns; nevertheless crime is a big problem to the citizens of our society and guns are necessary.
Gun control has been a debated issue for years. The majority of citizens believe that if gun control is strictly enforced it would rapidly reduce the crime levels. Many innocent citizens feel they have the right to bear arms for self-defense, or even for the pleasure of hunting. To enforce gun control throughout the nation means violating a person’s Constitutional Rights. 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.
Sense I have been around a variety of weapons through my life I have seen the devastation first hand that a bullet can do to both targets and game alike. If a weapon that is being used to kill people in war why should we be allow such a weapon in homes across America? A good friend of my family’s is a police officer and has explained to me that if someone were to fire at him with an automatic rifle he would have no real way to fight back because a pistol is no match for an assault rifle and the standard issue shotgun does not shoot as far as an assault rifle bullet can shoot so he is outgunned and has no real defense. It poses a threat to police officers and to citizens alike. A bullet that can go through a deer but also be shot 400 rounds per minute such as the AK-47 should not be allowed to own by a citizen.
