gun-control | Gun control has recently been the center of many political debates as a result of many devastating world wide events. Some argue that all Americans have the right to bare arms while others argue that limiting the availability of firearms will only better American society. These two drastically different views have crea... |
gun-control | This is only one of the many horrifying events that question the government’s regulations on guns in our country. As a result many ideas regarding regulating access to guns have been brought up. Although the question remains. What is the right thing to do? On June 21 1788 the constitution was ratified and the second am... |
gun-control | Prior to the constitution the right to bear arms was only given to soldiers employed by the government (Lund). For this reason alone the founding fathers felt it was necessary to allow all citizens the right to bear arms. Today very few people who support the right to bear arms would argue that they need their firearm ... |
gun-control | If America doesn’t adapt to its changing society, the country will never progress. School shootings, gang violence, and gun related murders all have a direct correlation with the accessibility to firearms in our country. A recent study conducted by the Harvard injury control research center proves that more gun accessi... |
gun-control | The more guns American citizens put into this country the more people we take out in gun related deaths. The study also proves that the correlation between gun accessibility and homicide does not relate to non gun related homicides. Proving that the homicides were only committed because of the accessibility to guns not... |
gun-control | Confiscating every firearm is an impossible task and taking away weapons from the law abiding citizens will leave criminals armed while citizens are defenceless. Possibly resulting in a terrible backlash and create more violence throughout the country. Criminals would have a tremendous advantage over the average law ab... |
gun-control | Therefore this argument is clearly invalid. There are many other “safer” weapons that can act as a replacement for firearms. Tasers for example have proven to provide just as much protection as firearms with little to no deaths as a result. There will always be an alternative to firearms those who believe differently u... |
gun-control | McDonald’s points seem valid, for one the law restricts handgun ownership in turn the right to own and bear arms. Some places require proof of ownership of firearms before registration, thus making point two impossible. Point tree has only one real flaw I can see there being grounds for arguing and that is the fee, if ... |
gun-control | And finally if a gun is deemed unable to be registered this restricts an individual’s ability to bear that specific arm. Previously in the similar case of District of Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that the second amendment did indeed protect individuals, as long as they were on or in federal property withi... |
gun-control | This left precedent for McDonald v. Chicago. A major reason this case is in fact such a landmark is not its conclusion to the question left open by the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, but its potential to overturn the slaughter-house cases’ ruling which ruled that the fourteenth amendment’s Privileges or Immuni... |
gun-control | This case calls the second amendment and well in a way the fourteenth amendment as well. McDonald feels Chicago’s gun laws restricted and diminish his and others rights to own and bear arms as given by the second amendment. The fourteenth amendment is also being called into question for McDonald feels the second Amendm... |
gun-control | The Supreme Court ruled in favor of McDonald, overruling the prior ruling in the slaughter-house cases, making the second amendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights, under the fourteenth amendment’s Privileges or Immunity Clause, extendable to individuals within states. Thirty-three amici curiae briefs were filed; on... |
gun-control | This case’s ruling furthered that of the District of Columbia v. Heller ruling protecting people in federal areas within states to extended to all parts of the states by overruling the slaughter-house ruling and stating that the Bill of Rights IS encompassed under the fourteenth amendment’s Privilege or Immunity Clause... |
gun-control | Crime happens everyday all around the United States. Have you ever wondered if there was a reliable way to cut down the amount of crime that is done. A lot of citizens say that guns play a big part in the amount of crime that takes place and some argue against them. Before anyone argues that point, they should know som... |
gun-control | Personally, I think there should not be a gun control law, but we should make it harder for criminals to get their hands on. Whenever there’s a story on the news that involves an outbreak of shootings or a massacre, people always turn their heads on the gun when in reality, it’s the person behind the gun that operates ... |
gun-control | There are a lot of citizens that favor instituting a gun control law in hopes to lower the chances of a mass shooting. “Between 1982 and 2012, the US had roughly sixty-two mass shootings. That’s an astonishing number… this research by Mother Jones shows that, of those sixty-two shootings, forty-nine were perpetrated us... |
gun-control | It would also limit the types of guns you are able to purchase and those you are not. (semi-automatic guns, automatic guns, warfare guns, etc) and it would decrease the amount of stolen weapons that are used in crimes. If the weapon is stolen, it is a lot more difficult for the police to track the gun back to the perso... |
gun-control | People that debate having a stricter gun control law think about the safety of their friends and family if there was less chances of buying a gun. Even though the citizens that debate this side believe the crime rate would decrease tremendously with stricter laws, it is not guaranteed. If a criminal wants a gun, they w... |
gun-control | The son will have to decide whether to risk his life trying to save his family, or hope from a distance his family doesn’t get hurt. People that argue against stricter gun laws believe that guns should be allowed to be used for self defense incase you are ever put into a life-threatening situation. Anyone that was oper... |
gun-control | The entire Second Amendment states: “a well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” [53] The federal 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, in the Dec. 11, 2012 case Moore v. Madigan, ruled 2-1 that the Second Amendment’s right to ... |
gun-control | Gun control laws have been a hot debate all around the world. Everyday the latest news constantly shows new crimes involving guns and murders that shouldn’t be happening, from school shootings to break-ins. It may be hard to turn your back against a debate that can affect you more than you think it will. Some people te... |
gun-control | Rich Lowry in “Ignorant Crusade-Gun Control Campaigns Stemming from the San Bernardino Shooting Aren’t Based in Fact” describes the irrational mindset of rampant gun control campaigns in America. Through the utilization of a ridiculing tone, Lowry conveys gun control supporters’ lack of knowledge regarding the issue of... |
gun-control | His usage of negative connotations exhibits that gun control enthusiasts perpetually push the government for stricter laws on issues that they are not informed about the actual issue and the consequences of enacting legislation. Lowry continues by arguing that stricter legislation on assault weapons is ridiculous due t... |
gun-control | Prominently, he points out fallacies of gun control supporters and attacks their substance but ironically provides little substance to support his own premises. Overall, Lowry presents the message that gun control supports run their campaigns based on ignorance. In the LA Times article, “California lawmakers revive gun... |
gun-control | As a nation, America understands the need to address the situation of gun violence. He continues by stating that there are bills debated in Congress with the potential solutions to decreasing gun-related incidents across the nation but are being refuted. Additionally, the author provides valid examples including a bill... |
gun-control | In the United States, the topic of gun control and violence is very controversial. In the past, guns have caused several negative repercussions in the general public. The author, Nicholas Kristof, talks about this issue in detail in his article “Kristof: Lessons from the Virginia Shooting”. Kristof argues for further p... |
gun-control | This incident opened my eyes because it showed me that gun violence is portrayed as a rare occasion, but it continues to happen silently every day. Kristof highlights several issues relating to gun violence in his article. Just like Kristof, I believe that regulations on purchasing guns should have more restrictions an... |
gun-control | The mere thought of children at high risk for death by a gun makes the reader think twice about the morality of certain individuals that live in this country. Kristof then proceeds to talks about broadcaster Bryce Williams, who is known for violently shooting two of his former co-workers, Alison Parker and Adam Ward, i... |
gun-control | “…an example of how gun violence beget gun violence.” (Kristof). Kristof believes that Williams may have been mentally disturbed because he videotaped the killings and posted them onto a social media platform. However, that does not change the fact that policies on guns are very loose. Kristof introduces certain safety... |
gun-control | Guns can be obtained relatively easily due to the lack of strict screening. Therefore, it can end up in anyone’s possession. As a result, gun violence has been a growing problem in the United States. In middle school, I remember starting to hear about gun violence on the news. I also noticed that mass shootings were oc... |
gun-control | They should feel safe in their homes and schooling environments. While I attended high school in northern New Jersey, I remember hearing about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. It was an incredibly terrifying moment for me because the Sandy Hook Elementary School was only an hour drive away from where I reside... |
gun-control | Due to that traumatizing incident, I strongly believe that strengthening the process for purchasing guns is vital. Adam is an exemplar of why background checks and screenings for individuals who purchase guns are necessary. Nicholas Kristof shines light on several flaws of gun security in the United States in his artic... |
gun-control | In both articles, there was a lot of disagreement between Trump and Clinton on different topics. In article one, they argued on guns. Trumps wants to run a strong defender of gun rights. On the other hand, Clinton wants to take guns away. She just does not want people to be shot by someone who should not have a gun in ... |
gun-control | For an example, in May 2015, a toddle found a hand gun in a car and shot at least 23 people. That is scary. I would feel a lot safer if we took away all guns. In article two I agree with Clinton with supporting the same-sex marriage. People cannot tell a person who they can or cannot love. If two people are in love, th... |
gun-control | Even though I agreed with Clinton’s gun and same-sex marriage point in paragraph two does not mean I want her as president. Clinton has downfalls too. It is important to vote to get your vote count and to make you voice by heard. But I feel like this year everyone is voting for the candidate who they do not want instea... |
gun-control | The gun control laws are a very controversial topic. To solve this issue there is no right or wrong answer. Not everyone will ever be happy with the rules and regulations of this country. Honestly, I am indifferent. First, I don’t care and second I think it’s too late. Guns have become and shaped our culture as America... |
gun-control | I don’t think anyone should have gun. It’s a little late for that though, a couple hundred years late. We need more things that save and help than kill people. Not everyone in the US can and does have Health Care while it’s possible for every single one of us to have guns. The amount of guns in the United States is sig... |
gun-control | The craziest people are the ones that you see everyday walking down hallways and streets. They could be the people that you drive by or stand in line behind. When people buy guns, what if they don’t start out crazy and get there? Eventually some people break and there’s noone who can predict the future and be able to s... |
gun-control | ” Tests are easy to get around, and I would assume especially ones testing sanity. All you would have to do is say the right answer, say what they want to hear. If someone really wants a gun, they will get it and no amount of middle-men, fees, and tests will stop it. |
gun-control | The only people who should be able to have guns are the people actively serving in the army at that moment in time. That’s only for safety though. When the soldier comes home it should still be at their base. They should not be able to have it to whip around. This would only work in a perfect world where no civilians h... |
gun-control | If soldiers are the only one with guns then the places where it can be taken should not be an issue. Guns would only be taken to the warfront. Besides that, guns don’t really belong anywhere in everyday life. There is no use for a gun in school, church, the grocery store, or office buildings. Having guns would not make... |
gun-control | Elementary and middle schools ban innocent children from even creating a figure of a gun with their mere fingers, yet mentally unstable adults are allowed to carry guns around as they please. In a nation where even Wal-Mart is selling guns, it is no wonder why these dangerous machines of destruction often fall into the... |
gun-control | However, for many, these games become a reality and give them ideas. They do not understand that what happens in those games is meant to be only for the game. There are a growing number of cases where teenagers and adults alike have reenacted scenes from games such as Grand Theft Auto. |
gun-control | To think of society where these types of mentally unstable people have easy access to firearms to fulfill their shooting fantasies in real life makes me fear for the lives of others, as well as my own. There is a surplus of natural and accidental causes of death; America does not need another. What will the generations... |
gun-control | For example, society has been raising the bar for expectations of students, and it shows no signs of stopping. Is it possible that even elementary students will be stressed under the ubiquitous weight of “college?” Despite what they like to believe, parents, who may be responsible with their own guns, cannot always hav... |
gun-control | Gateway drugs have been a huge issue for some time now. However America should also consider even hunting guns and a gateway firearm. Becoming comfortable shooting anything would give a person the false impression that shooting person with a handgun is no different. In any situation, prevention is always the best polic... |
gun-control | From presidents such as Lincoln to hard working students at Virginia Tech, Guns have proven to have done more harm to ALL Americans. It is imperative that the government start to not only raise the qualifications for obtaining guns, but also further enforce these laws. The government must pay more attention to keeping ... |
gun-control | Citizens in America are being killed everyday, and many people believe guns are the problem; because of this the government believes implying gun control will help solve this drawback. By doing this the government hopes to lessen crime rates, and suicides. On the other hand, citizens shouldn’t have gun control because ... |
gun-control | For example, According to NRA, “According to the National Rifle Association (NRA), guns are used for self-defense 2.5 million times a year (“Chris Cox’s NRA Armed Citizen”). The police cannot protect everyone all of the time. 61% of men and 56% of women surveyed by Pew Research said that stricter gun laws would ‘make i... |
gun-control | This quote shows that guns play a major role in the safety of people, and by implementing gun control it will make it harder for them to protect themselves. Gun control would most likely cause more deaths of American citizens if they have no way to defend themselves from others. The article continues when it states, “ ... |
gun-control | This statement supports the idea that gun control would hinder people from protecting themselves. Some states allow citizens to bear arms for self defense, and enacting gun control will stop them from doing so. Additionally, gun control is not needed because not many people are killed by guns. The article states, “Acco... |
gun-control | This shows that gun control would not be very effective if the government believes it will decrease death rates. Mainly because diseases are more likely to kill a person before a gun will. The article continues by reporting that, “Firearms were the 12th leading cause of deaths for all deaths between 1999 and 2013, resp... |
gun-control | According to The Wall Street Journal, “John R. Lott, Jr., PhD, gun rights activist, stated, “The problem with such [gun control] laws is that they take away guns from law abiding citizens, while would-be criminals ignore them” (Lott). This quote shows how gun control will only affect people who follow the law because t... |
gun-control | Gun control is the regulation that requires people to keep firearms and mostly the guns away from other people (Carter). According to many people, they take it that gun control is an effective manner to help reduce the number of deaths that are continuously being experienced due to wrong use of guns by some people. It ... |
gun-control | This has since created a negative perception about guns to an extent that the mention of the word gun creates a sense of violence and death in the mind of the audiences. Apart from all these negative perceptions about possession of guns in the society, there is sufficient evidence that this control and regulation is no... |
gun-control | The wrong use of guns by some people does not mean that guns should not be possessed especially in areas where security details are compromised. In real sense, it is true that guns are not responsible for the many deaths that occur every year as there are other causes of deaths in the society. I think that possession o... |
gun-control | It is also good if the law allows everybody of sound mind to possess a gun, should there be sufficient information or evidence that their safety is in doubt or that they fear being attacked for some reasons. It is true that gun laws have been established all over in the United State but the specific laws varies from on... |
gun-control | They do not fear if the rifles they use are tracked and collected by the police because the firearms are not registered under their names. It is through this regulation that some people who are not allowed to own the guns end up killing those with the guns to take the guns away to use them in the criminal activities. I... |
gun-control | There should be uniformity in these laws where similar conditions for gun possession should be indicated in all states. This will prevent cases where certain people are observed to move from their home states to other states where they qualify to own a gun. This will greatly help to reduce the number of crimes that are... |
gun-control | There have been a number of cases of people who have ended up in jail after they are caught involving themselves in illegal businesses involving sale of guns. Despite the fact that these people are caught and sentenced, there is need to understand they reasons as to why these people found it easy to get started in this... |
gun-control | The issue of gun control in America is nothing new to anyone. Everyone has their own opinion as to whether or not we should readily have access to weapons as American citizens. In the words of Ron Paul, a 79-year-old former House of Representatives member, “Respecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms is th... |
gun-control | ”(Ron Paul, 2014) According to the Second Amendment to the Constitution, we have the right to keep and bear arms. However, over the past few years, there has been an uproar in anti-gun protesting, due to massacres such as the Sandy Hooke Elementary shootings. They all basically have the same approach, “guns kill people... |
gun-control | Guns do not kill people, people are killed by guns when they fall into the wrong hands. Guns do fall into the wrong hands and that is where they get their bad reputation. But, what happens when you put a vehicle into the wrong hands, say the hands of a drunk driver? According to MADD (Mothers against Drunk Driving) sta... |
gun-control | This means that someone got drunk and chose to get behind the wheel of a vehicle, and killed themselves or others, 10,322 times. However, advocates of controlling drunk driving haven’t suggested taking away vehicles. It is unethical, just like it is unethical to take away guns from people. It took someone to get behind... |
gun-control | “Roughly 30,000 people are killed in the U.S. each year by guns—whether by accident, suicide, or homicide according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” (Funk and Wagnall’s New World Encyclopedia, 2014). In the case of homicides, the blame cannot be placed on the gun itself. When a murder is committed, t... |
gun-control | Last year in California, Governor Jerry Brown signed into a law, which made it a third-degree misdemeanor to knowingly store a loaded firearm in a place where an unsupervised child could likely access it, regardless of whether or not the child actually does (Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, 2013). This bill is one o... |
gun-control | Whenever a gun is purchased from a place certified to sell weapons, there is a short process. Typically, a person would need a valid driver’s license and a social security number. Based on this information, the store checks with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to see if this person has any restrictions on their rec... |
gun-control | This is one of many precautions that are already taken involving the dispersion of firearms in America. Guns are not just thrown freely to the public with the message, “Do as You Please.” However, people break laws. Consider all the things that are illegal today, such as marijuana. Incidentally, almost anyone knows som... |
gun-control | In conclusion, guns are not the problem in America. A gun is an inanimate object, just as a car is, but put in the hands of the wrong person it can be a deadly weapon. Americans are not running wild, waiting to take down the government with their semi-automatic weapons. Not only is owning a gun a safety measure for som... |
gun-control | The laws regarding gun control should be tightened and new laws should be implemented for the safety of our citizens and the image of our country. Recent events relating to mass shootings and terrorist attacks have brought this issue to the table, and there chance of it losing importance is nearly unforeseeable. A frac... |
gun-control | During that time, the Federal government was pushed to implement a feries of gun control policies by the waging wars of the gangs of the 1920’s. In 1934, the National Firearms Act was enacted with intent to prevent the spread of destructive firearms that had become increasingly destructive in gang violence. In more rec... |
gun-control | Many believe in the idea that more gun laws would infringe upon their right to bear arms granted by the Second Amendment. This is not true. The Second Amendment does not grant any person unlimited right to own firearms, as many who are less than fully educated on this topic believe it does. The right of any given perso... |
gun-control | Considering the firearm should be only kept within your household, said firearm should not be “beared” outside of the home, as in public. The topic of self defense has been a go-to for many when defending their right to bear arms outside of their homes. However, based on many statistics, self-defense has rarely been th... |
gun-control | This is an obvious statement, basic cause-and-effect. There were 464,033 gun-related deaths between the years 2000 and 2013; only 2.2% of these deaths were unintentional. At 66% guns were the leading cause of death by homicide in 2015. A study by Lancet in March of 2016 found that firearm-related deaths could be reduce... |
gun-control | This is why other fatal objects such as lethal drugs and destructive weapons such as bombs have been strictly illegalized; if they aren’t in the possession of a person, they can’t be used by that person to kill. (Will add more here in final draft!) Firearms should have tighter laws regarding who can obtain them and how... |
gun-control | The statistics on the ownerships of these guns are mostly unreliable and unavailable, so it is impossible to know how many of these fire arms are legally owned and how many are illegally hold. When a person intents on doing harm and he/she wants to get a gun, they will either have one already, or will be able to easily... |
gun-control | -Education about fire-arms and gun safety is needed to prevent deaths; not more gun-control(Con): Almost all of the US gun owners truly believe that children should learn about gun safety. “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people”. Citizens also need more gun education and screening on mental illnesses to prevent ho... |
gun-control | So as we now have seen the arguments of both sides, we can clearly state that the issue of gun-control is big and quite controversial. Most of the US citizens don’t want to give up their guns and their main reason is the second amendment. But this is the thing that makes it hard for the pro side, because of the fact, t... |
gun-control | -Buying fire arms should be the same as buying a vehicle: The lawmakers could learn lessons from auto-safety. They could create more thorough requirements for owning fire arms. A policy that would be more effective, would be to require every buyer to obtain a (gun) license that should include registration of all of the... |
gun-control | Pass laws that really have an effect: Not all of the gun laws are being equally created. The military rifles that are used almost al (mass) shootings may dominate the debate, but they apply for less than 5% of all deaths. Research in 2018, also found that strict fire arm laws in states, such as the background checks fo... |
gun-control | “Gun control entails laws whose aim is to ensure a limitation in firearms possession. Gun control or gun rights are a very public subject. I’m not a weapons expert; I don’t even own a gun. I have fired a few at a couple at ranges, but just for fun. I would not consider myself proficient with any weapon. I don’t hunt. I... |
