gun-control | There is one other way of dropping the crime rate involving firearms, this is through stricter laws in respect to crimes that involve a firearm. “A study . . . revealed that in New York City, which has about the most prohibitive gun legislation in the country, only one out of six people convicted of crimes involving we... |
gun-control | The NRA has in the past, and are presently, supporting measures to increase the severity of the punishments of the “incorrigible minority who place themselves outside of the law.” (Cassidy 238). And “As a result [of such support] . . . violent crimes with firearms, like assault and robbery, have stabilized or are actua... |
gun-control | And for those of you out there who are not only concerned with the crimes committed with hand guns, but with the deaths due to accessibility of hand guns in the home, there is a solution. Most children will only play with a gun if they can find it and figure out how to use it or make it do something. Well, with a trigg... |
gun-control | A trigger lock will also help to prevent the use of guns in crimes of passion, delaying, if not stopping, the person from using the gun. These might sound like simple solutions to a difficult solution, but they are solutions that will work. Nan Desuka put it best, “‘Guns don’t kill people – criminals do.’ That’s a powe... |
gun-control | Gun control has been a controversial issue in the United States, and nobody seems to have a solution. America has been experiencing numerous shootings and indiscriminate firing incidents in schools, malls, and churches. Most gun owners think that gun control is not a good option. However, laws that make gun ownership o... |
gun-control | In the US, mass shootings increased in the past fifty years. According to The Washington Post, 1, 211 people were murdered in mass shootings in the United States since 1966 (Berkowitz, Bonnie, et al.). One of the mass shootings took place in a high school on February 14, 2018 in Florida. A former student, Nikolas Cruz,... |
gun-control | Yes we should have better gun control laws, according to Brian Duignan, in the United States mass murders committed with guns are so frequent that the vast majority of them are not even mentioned in mainstream media outlets. Those that happen to be massive enough to gain national attention typically spark a short debat... |
gun-control | According to Katherine Schaeffer, overall, the share of Americans who say gun laws in the U.S. should be made stricter has increased from 52% in 2017 to 60% this year, according to a survey conducted in September. The share of Democrats who support stricter gun laws has risen 11 percentage points since 2017, while ther... |
gun-control | Now let’s talk about guns. If someone were to break into your house armed with let’s say a 9 mil, what would you do? You’re going to want to protect yourself, right? Well, how can you do that when you’re against having guns in your house? The criminal isn’t going to say oh I guess this is a gun-free zone I better go ge... |
gun-control | This is because of our limited power as citizens of the country. Each of us has our rights and responsibilities as citizens of the country which we ought to remember and abide by. But privileges and power to bring amendments to the policies and laws in the country are held with the higher authorities like the President... |
gun-control | There has been a very intense debate in regards to gun control regulations and all of the gun violence that has been going on throughout the nation. Gun control is an issue that the entire nation has had to deal with for many years and will most likely continue to face in the future. In recent discussions of gun contro... |
gun-control | From this perspective, people are trying to argue the point of gun reform not being able to help anyone or potentially preventing mass shootings from occurring. On the other hand, however, others argue that the nation does indeed need some form of gun reform and that we need to fix all of our issues regarding gun contr... |
gun-control | According to this view, , . In sum, then, the issue is whether the nation needs to strengthen their gun laws or we need to improve on our ways of gun training to make sure we get the proper information. My own view is that, .. Though I concede that many of our gun laws do need a big change, I still maintain that everyo... |
gun-control | Gun control is an issue that has been brought to the public’s eyes in recent years. Until 1968, guns were available over the counter, at stores and through mail catalogs to just about any adult in America. This is an example of how loose gun regulations were. In America today, the National Rifle Association has stepped... |
gun-control | Jillian Banner, in ‘1 Million Americans Will Be Shot in The Next Decade’ presents trauma surgeons’ argument that gun violence is a rapid growing disease but it is still treatable. Banner interviews various trauma surgeons from the disease control and prevention department. These doctors all hold a strong belief that gu... |
gun-control | Sakran, Director of Emergency general surgery at John’s Hopkins hospital who comments that ‘some wounds they see despite the best medical instruments, they are not able to save the people’. Her article also goes on to further explain the troubles encountered by the doctors from the NRA. She introduces us to NRA’s belie... |
gun-control | In the conclusion of her interview, we see Dr. Sakran warning the NRA that gunshot violence ‘is not a Democratic issue, it’s not a Republican issue. It is an American issue. And it’s a uniquely American problem’. This statement in turn further emphasizes the doctor’s disapproval of the NRA’s cultural belief. |
gun-control | I completely disagree with the NRA’s view that doctors should not be involved in advocating gun control. The NRA says that they are doing their best and yet, in Jillian Banner’s article published on Atlantic documentaries ‘How the NRA sparked a medical rebellion’, we see trauma surgeons predict that one million America... |
gun-control | In this article, he presents a survey which was carried out in 2017 that shows that about 40% of Americans say that they own a gun or live in a household with a gun. To support this claim, he points out that there are 120.5 guns per every 100 American residents. He then compares these statistics with countries such as ... |
gun-control | On the other hand, the doctors who treat the wounds inflicted by these loose guns are the ones who truly understand the effects of guns on the life of the individuals who have been shot and also the lives of the people who are closely associated with these gunshot victims. Due to this understanding that they possess, d... |
gun-control | During their efforts to control the risk taken by drivers while driving, Dr. C. Hunter Shelden, a neurologist in the 1950’s came forward and brought about seat-belts as a way to prevent people from suffering head trauma during auto accidents. For this reason, I believe that doctors, the life savers, if given the chance... |
gun-control | The notion of gun control has been a subject of great debate for many years. People have argued to have gun control better regulated or more strict due to the risk of accidental or malicious death. Others have debated reducing gun control laws, citing the Constitutional right protected by the Second Amendment as well a... |
gun-control | Greater gun control is unnecessary. Having a gun does not necessarily that the majority of deaths that occur in the United States is from injury related to using one. As gun control is already regulated, firearms are essential in the reduction of crimes. Furthermore, having ease of access to firearms makes a defense of... |
gun-control | Certainly, the capacity of a particular weapon to make a homicidal attack possible-its range is an element of any definition of weapon dangerousness. But no available experience statistics indicate how many attacks with weapon A would not have been attacks at all if weapon B and not weapon A were available. (Zimring, p... |
gun-control | This chart clearly shows that despite over 80 guns are owned per 100 people (Fig. 1) in the United States (bringing in a total of 8,000 firearms), the mortality rate due to guns is low. There are under 20 deaths from gun-related incidents shown on this chart. This demonstrates a lack of connection between gun ownership... |
gun-control | Gun ownership reduces crime. “Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed[·]Every year 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms[·]60% of convicted felons admitted that they avoided... |
gun-control | Looking at this chart, over the past forty years, with the rise of handgun ownership the rate of crime in the United States has dropped significantly by the year 1997. It is clear that guns are a real threat to would-be criminals, and as such the crime rate has been reduced. There would be no point in regulating guns f... |
gun-control | The chart above shows the statistics from 2017 when people were surveyed about their motives for buying a gun. As seen in the chart, 67% possessed a gun “For protection.” (Fig. 3) Safety is a priority held by all people. Buying a weapon such as a handgun ensures safety against threats that a knife or a blunt object cou... |
gun-control | Gun regulation laws are fine as they are. They do not need to be made stricter. There is no connection between having a gun and an increased rate of death from gun violence. Guns and firearms reduce criminal activity; many criminals will not attempt a crime on the risk of encountering someone who is armed. The safety o... |
gun-control | In 2018, seventeen students and staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) were killed by a former student armed with an AR-15 rifle. Four days later, students of MSD began an activist movement known as Never Again with the goal for stricter background checks for gun buyers (Witt). Since then, #NeverAg... |
gun-control | For instance, the activists of #NeverAgain, who are primarily young people, have used their saavy internet and media skills to be very interactively influential online and also to bring their cause out into the real world. While some may argue that Twitter-based movements are merely echo-chambers for people isolated fr... |
gun-control | There appears to be an immediate split between left groups such as the @TheDemCoalition as well as various politicians such as Senator Bob Menendez (#SenatorMenendez) on one side, and groups such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and conservative politicians such as Marco Rubio on the other side. In the first wee... |
gun-control | By the end of 2018, #NeverAgain had dramatically expanded from its specialized focus on school shootings to encompass the wider frame on genocidal themes. On November 30th, 2018, Guy Verhofstradt, a Belgian politician and member of the European Parliament, posted a link on Twitter about how a full one-third of European... |
gun-control | Jumping forward to May of 2019, #NeverAgain once more positions itself with the cause of gun control due to a Virginia Beach shooting, as seen by Representative Elijah E. Cummings’ post which gained 8,700 likes, about 2,000 shares, and over 400 comments. Another issue of relevance in late May was brought to light by Ki... |
gun-control | The analysis of the progression of #NeverAgain from 2018 to the present shows how an idea as the foundation of a movement can morph based on the context. The popularity of #NeverAgain posts change based on the present current events. When there has been a shooting, #NeverAgain reflects a widespread spirit for gun polic... |
gun-control | The #NeverAgain movement on Twitter has received a lot of attention from popular web publications and political and media theorists. For instance, Nick Bilton writes for Vanity Fair that this movement has proven that the youth, primarily those in “generation Z,” have proven there is great promise in internet-based poli... |
gun-control | #NeverAgain has also been recognized as a victory for online mobilization of political action, which is important considering the possibility for internet activism to remain only on the screen rather than out in the real world. Critics of online activism call it “clicktivism” and insist that it is defined by “weak ties... |
gun-control | From a more critical perspective, much of the above positive aspects of the #NeverAgain movement were strongest in the immediacy of the Parkland shooting event. As observed above regarding the shifting meanings of popular #NeverAgain posts, it appears that the movement has run out of steam, at least compared to its ear... |
gun-control | #NeverAgain demonstrates how a movement that is sourced online can be more than an isolated echo chamber for people who are stuck behind their screens. Indeed, the movement has, by its very nature, been very engaged from its beginning. For instance, the conversation has often included a dialogue between the #NeverAgain... |
gun-control | What would life in the U.S be like without all the protests and disobedience? Since the start of our nation, our society has faced many hardships such as racism, gun control, and religious freedom. However, our society has taken it into their own hands and have begun protests to fix these problems in our nation. They h... |
gun-control | In 1891, an Irish poet named Oscar Wilde observed and believed that “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and rebellion”. The main point of this quote was to explain that change doesn’t always hap... |
gun-control | In the past years, many shootings have lead for more controversy about gun control. The most recent shooting, which took place in a Walmart in El Paso, was a horrific seen that shook Texas. This shooting, caused by Patrick Crusius, resulted in the deaths of 20 people. Karma Allen, in her article Mass shooting that kill... |
gun-control | This means that this shooting was clearly influenced by hate and is also a sign of domestic terrorism. Allen also urges all Americans to support legislation and funding that will deal with the gun violence epidemic as well as the hate epidemic that is plaguing our country. On February 14, 2018, another mass shooting to... |
gun-control | Racism in America has greatly influenced many protests and civil disobediences across the nation. It has taken on many forms ranging from slavery to police brutality and also segregation. These racial acts have been protested in many ways and some of these protests have even occurred in sports. In 2016, Colin Kaepernic... |
gun-control | There are many growing concerns these days about how to stop gun violence. Tougher gun laws or confiscation come to mind, but some people believe that keeping guns legal is a better alternative. There are many people that vehemently protest private ownership of firearms, while others maintain that owning firearms makes... |
gun-control | The price we would pay as taxpayers to confiscate guns after a ban should lower crime rates and be worth it over time financially. If a gun ban was put into place in every state, we would be paying for the buyback programs and any other method of gun confiscation. |
gun-control | While one would think this is a cost-effective strategy, most people would not just bring their guns in willingly. Enforcing a gun ban would take an enormous amount of time and money that our country just does not have. On the other hand, keeping gun rights and not organizing a task force to remove guns would be cheape... |
gun-control | In early 1977, a gun ban went inti effect in Washington D.C. Ever since the ban went into effect there has been just one year that the murder rate was lower than it was it was before the ban. Murder rates were declining but after the ban they rose. The murder rate dropped from 37 to 27 murders per 100,000 people in the... |
gun-control | If you want to own a gun in Japan, there are many requirements. You will need to attend an all-day class and successfully complete a written test. These tests are only offered once each month. It is also mandatory that you successfully complete a shooting range class. After completing all that, a mental health evaluati... |
gun-control | With such strict gun laws in Japan, the country has almost zero-gun related deaths and is probably one good example of strict gun laws working for the good of its people. When a person trades freedom for security, often times they receive neither. This has been proven with so many other countries where the civilians ga... |
gun-control | In 1915-1917 Ottoman, Turkey’s government put a ban on possession of guns and 1-1.5 million Armenians (mostly Christians) were killed as a result. In 1929-1945 the Soviet Union placed a ban on guns with severe penalties for keeping the firearms, this resulted in 20 million Political opponents and farming communities be... |
gun-control | In 1960-1981 Guatemala began to register guns and owners with licensing with high fees, they prohibited carrying guns, and put bans in place on guns and sharp tools with the power of confiscation. This caused the deaths of 100,000-200,000 Mayans and other Indians. In 1971-1981 Uganda put in place laws for mandatory reg... |
gun-control | After looking at this information, a person can see the importance of the right to own a gun and also see where someone is coming from that opposes gun ownership. With this being said, history has a way of repeating itself, and very few countries that allow gun control come out peacefully. It is important for the Unite... |
gun-control | “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which no account be neglected”(Sun Tzu)”.

gun-control | Some employees call on the government to stop selling guns after the school shootings. Gun-related deaths are now the third-related causes of death in America. An average of 19 children die from gunshot wounds or are treated in hospital emergency rooms every day, with boys, teenagers, and Afican Americans disproportion... |
gun-control | Guns have become a threat to society and therefore no one should be trusted using a gun. For instance, “Most firearms deaths among kids and teens were intentional, with 53 percent of deaths classified as homicides, and 38 percent deemed suicides, according to the study. Only about 6 percent of deaths involving firearms... |
gun-control | Across all suicide attempts not involving a firearm, less than 5 percent will result in death. But for gun suicides, those statistics are flipped: approximately 85 percent of gun suicide attempts end in death” (Gun Violence in America pg 1). “CWLA’s National Blueprint points out that children and youth exposed to chron... |
gun-control | African Americans were also more than twice as likely to be personally worried about gun violence, the research found”(PTSD in Oakland: Gun Violence Victims, Families Suffer Continuos PTSD pg 1). However people might say, “Safety isn’t always safe. You can find one on every gun.”(Andrea Gibson). “Nothing is wrong with ... |
gun-control | The solution to America’s gun problem is background checks and restricting gun sales. Removing guns out of their home or passing a prevention gun bill could save lives. Here’s how the solution works. In order to purchase a gun from a federal firearms licensed dealer (FFL), a consumer must provide identification and pas... |
gun-control | In order to pass a bill, introduce by coming up with a great idea find a Senator or Representative to sponsor it, draft the bill, gather signatures from other legislators and then introduce your bill by dropping it in the hopper. You’ll need support from the Committee Chair if you want a hearing or at least get them in... |
gun-control | The Governor can either sign your bill, refuse to sign it, or veto it. If the Governor doesn’t sign your bill within a certain timeframe it automatically becomes a law. If the Governor vetoes the bill, it can still become law if both the House and Senate vote to override the veto requiring 2/3rds vote. For example, “Re... |
gun-control | Nevertheless background checks save lives. They are the foundation of any effective effort to reduce gun violence and are associated with lower rates of gun homicides, suicides and gun trafficking in states that require them for all handgun sales. But current federal law only requires licensed gun dealers to conduct ba... |

None of these victims shot by a gun deserved to die. None of these relatives or friends of victims deserve to lose their beloved ... |
gun-control | The gun problem is obviously a big problem in the United States now. Barack Obama once said, after the shooting in Oregon, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees these kinds of mass shootings every few months.” (Obama), which means that the United States has far more mass shootings than other advanced cou... |
gun-control | Time and again, a large number of innocent people die in mass shootings in the United States. For example, the 2017 Las Vegas shooting was a big mass shooting on the night of October 1, which shocked the whole world. Stephen Paddock, 64 years old, shot people at a music festival from a room on the 32nd floor of the Man... |

gun-control | Schools should have been a place full of students’ laughing and of reading sounds, but it is not because of the all too frequent interruptions and sounds of gunfire which destroy the peace.

gun-control | (TheTrace) We can draw a conclusion that two thirds of people use guns to end their life and the majority of people give up committing suicide if they do not succeed in killing themselves at one time. However, guns are extremely fatal. There is a chance for people who want to kill themselves not using a gun to survive,... |
gun-control | People also suffer from accidental shootings in the United States. From 2006 to 2016, about 6,096 people died from accidental shootings, according to the data released by Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (CDC) Many people never take training courses to learn how to use a gun at all and some of them do not tre... |
gun-control | Why is gun control still a problem in the United States and cannot be solved effectively and properly for decades? The first reason is its history and gun culture. The United States is a revolutionary country and gun ownership is a tradition. Fearing a tyrannical government, The Second Amendment to the United States Co... |
gun-control | (Wikipedia) Therefore, some Americans argue that bearing arms is one of the greatest protections of their individual rights and democracy of their country and cannot be violated. According to a Pew Center study, Americans own the most guns per person in the world. (Pew Research Center) They regard gun ownership as libe... |
gun-control | Many gun groups, such as the NRA, also affect the polices. It is estimated that NRA had spent $14 million to oust Barack Obama in 2012 by the New York Times. (New York Times) Because of the pervading gun culture and those businessmen and those gun groups, it becomes harder to carry out gun control policies so that gun ... |
gun-control | Why should we take immediate measures to alleviate preventable gun deaths? First, no innocent individual killed in a mass shooting or by accident deserves to die. No one wants to see their relatives or friends killing by a totally stranger, and what they finally receive is a sum of cold compensation. It is not fair. Th... |
gun-control | In fact, there is a huge difference between guns and some other weapons, such as screwdrivers.

(Sohu)Could you imagine what woul... |

Therefore, the government should create a peaceful domestic environment for its citizens so as to ensure the sustainable development and function of our soci... |
gun-control | Furthermore, without a peaceful domestic environment, there will be no sustainable development and the whole country will be in trouble.

gun-control | Fourth, we should also realize that shootings do great harm to our children, such as psychological problems, which cause a long-term scar in their heart. Children may suffer from gun-related trauma, insomnia, nightmares and intrusive thoughts, making it hard to fall asleep and always afraid of being attacked again. Thi... |
gun-control | What’s worse, some children may regard owning a gun as a way to show their power and better protect themselves, which increases the possibility that they use violence as a means of solving problems when they feel angry. This is extremely dreadful for a home, a community and a country. It is not too late to save these c... |
gun-control | What can we do to alleviate the preventable gun deaths?

gun-control | The United States can follow the example of Australia by enacting laws to ban semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons.

gun-control | Stricter gun control laws will decrease the overall number of accidental shootings. It will also make it more difficult for criminals to obtain guns. Semi-automatic weapons, which are the leading types of guns used in mass shootings could be eliminated from being able to be purchased and will ultimately lower the numbe... |
gun-control | Creating stricter gun control laws could also hurt or have no effect on the number of overall shooting in the United States. People who want guns and are unable to obtain them legally, can purchase them through the black market. Most people simply want guns for their own protection and self-defense. |
gun-control | Prohibition is not the best solution. Banning guns will not kill gun culture. The use of guns will not disappear or make them any less dangerous. It could even promote illegal purchases of guns. As stated in the previous paragraph, safety is a need, and people are most likely to do whatever it takes to assure it for th... |
gun-control | Many people also need guns for other reasons. Farmers need fire arms to protect their fields and livestock from wild animals.
