This can be seen through the laws that followed after the St. Valentine’s Day massacre, John F. Kennedy assassination and the killing of Martin Luther King Junior which were meant for the government to control the type of guns that citizens could carry and use. I would highly recommend that leaders and citizens to take part in the gun control measures and laws in order to improve their safety and that of their family from crime. I decided as I said in the beginning to pick this topic because a majority of individuals have been affected by gun violence and it has become a menace to society. I will end with “Guns do not kill people. People kill people” at the end of the day gun lobbyists, owners a like and the general public should advocate for laws that encourage buyers and owners to demonstrate that they can possess a firearm lawfully and responsibly.
In his speech, Obama uses many language techniques to convince Americans to stand up to their representatives to tighten gun laws. Both Moore and Obama use a range of techniques to position their audiences to believe the reality they share. One of the people Michael Moore chooses to interview is James Nicholas, brother of Terry Nicholas who blew up the Oklahoma city council centre. In this scene he has the audience perceive James as reckless and a bit crazy, he uses this to then position the audience to think that most gun owning Americans are crazy extremists. Moore emphasises this by selecting a part of the interview a part where he follows James into his room to see the under his pillow, he places subtitles for this scene to show the audience the conversation they have as James puts the gun to his head as a joke.
Obama say in regard to the newton school shootings with much passion in advocating gun reform states “That’s not what we are or who we are as a nation. And I want to make sure every American is listening
This requires an acutal person to pull the trigger. The person waving the gun around is the lunatic that needs control. Can you imagine what our country would look like if we had no regulations on gun control? I guess it would make it easier for people to obtain money and other goods when they visit stores. A person could simply walk up to a cashier and wave the gun at the cashier, and walk out without having to pay a dime for their purchase.
A Shot at Gun Control In 1776, our Constitution was written by our forefathers. The 2nd Amendment, “The Right to Bear Arms”, was constructed deliberately so that all citizens had the right to carry weapons and protect themselves against a government that could become to powerful or tyrannical. In the years that followed, the creation of the Constitution, the 2nd amendment was essential and fundamental to the growth of our country as a whole, but now over 200 years later the 2nd amendment has become fundamentally flawed in current modern society. Most citizens nowadays don’t carry firearms for protection and for the use of sustenance. Citizens today use firearms for more devious actions.
This lobbyist group considers the right to acquire and possess guns as a freedom issue among the civilians. It has been evident that GOA is against compromising and accepting the status quo. GOA has committed itself in building a network of attorneys, who will help in challenging the strict gun control laws in courts. Furthermore, the lobbyist group has frozen senators, who support bills to strengthen background checks and enhance penalties for those individuals purchasing guns illegally. GOA empowers those individuals with a strong background of gun rights.
Caleb Robbs Mrs. Hodgdon English III 2 May 2013 Gun control What do people think about when they hear gun control? Do thing about overruling or safety? The second amendment allows people the right to bear arms, it also allows people to own guns for self-defense and hunting. The government should not try and change the 2nd Amendment. They should not be able to take away our rights that were given to us long ago.
In the story “They Each Had a Gun,” Hannah LaMarca was robbed and assaulted with no way to defend herself. Had she been armed and trained in the use of a firearm, it is likely the outcome would have been different. We also can’t ignore the usefulness of a firearm as a deterrent to a criminal. Gun control advocates are so quick to cite statistics of gun deaths from any source they latch on to. It’s a shame that we don’t have much statistics for crimes that have been adverted because a robber or rapist changed his mind about attacking an armed person.
From what I have heard on CNN or FOX News, I also believe that the United States has an unbelievable numbers of murders. The article “Guns and Violence” is about gun violence that has occurred. The Second Amendment, which states people have the right to bear arms after a compete background check. Not all guns are able to be owns, “carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons such as machine guns is not guaranteed” (Guns and Violence 2). It always says that allowing children to carry guns at school is prohibited.
In a country full of violent crime, the United States continues to embody the gun as integral to it's protection and culture. While the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution grants the people the right to bear arms, the people must on the contrary protect themselves from those who bear them. In my view, guns give people a false sense of security and are more of a nuisance than a benefit. Guns are a threat to the peace and safety of society. Therefore, since it is unlikely that all guns will disappear in the United States, legislation must be enacted to ban and cease the further manufacture of the types of firearms involved in more violent crime than all others; handguns and assault-weapons.
