The second amendment is our personal right to own and bear arms. People want to get rid of the second amendment because they blame guns for the crime rate and the murders and etc. There is a debate about keeping it or getting rid of it.…
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.…
Those two things seem to coincide with each other. Lately on the news there have been a number of mass shootings, terrorist attacks, violence in neighborhood, etcetera. As the number of these crimes seem to happen more often throughout the years, peoples fight or flight instincts tend to kick in, and they feel like they have to do what they need to do in order to protect themselves. And that usually results in people's fight response being activated, and wanting to be feel like they are able to keep themselves and their family safe end up with them going out and getting a gun. As of last October, the Gallup poll was taken and stemmed out into saying that 63% of Americans believe that having a gun in their household makes them feel a whole lot safer than having a home without a gun. According to the Pew Research Center Survey only 37% of adults own a gun in their household. While the numbers may appear to not seem like a lot, as a researcher it's hard to pinpoint the exact number of individuals who do have a gun in their possession due to not everyone answering the survey on whether or not they have acquired a gun. So the big question for the people and the government are "Is the right to keep and bear arms a civil right?" and " Should we have restrictions when obtaining a gun?" So the present today debate on the Second Amendment main focus is on the protection of an individual right to bear arms or is it a right than can only be protected by the…
Gun control would not help crime or murder rates because instead it disarms the law abiding citizens, therefore putting them at a disadvantage in defending there selves against criminals. The second amendment states that citizens have the right to bear arms. Guns have also been an American sporting tradition for years, and have saved many lives from rapist, murders and innocent civilians from the hands of criminals.…
This however is not so due to the fact most people that commit violent crimes do not use a gun that they obtained legally. Of the guns used in violent crimes 39.6% were obtained from a friend or relative, 39.2 % from the street or an illegal source, 0.7% at a gun show, 1.0% from a flea market, and 3.8 % from a pawn shop (Olmstead, J. S.). All of these circumstances do not require the criminal to go through a background check which would most likely not allow them to obtain the weapon. With these numbers it only leaves 8.3% of criminals obtaining their guns legally (Olmstead, J. S.). This shows that by making it harder to obtain weapons it only hurts the law abiding citizens from being able to protect themselves.…
The Second Amendment has been one of the most controversial topics that America faces today. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "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" (LII). Under the constitution, you are able to own guns but there has been many restrictions and Acts that control your rights to a minimum. Gun rights reforms are how the Acts and certain limitations are made. These reforms are made to help lower the dangers of these weapons and allow for higher protection. The Second Amendment and Gun Rights should be adapted to today’s society along with certain past events to allow citizens to bear arms publicly. In multiple scenarios, these past event may have been avoided if gun control was open to more eligible citizens.…

Our Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights had created a virtual war over guns and gun ownership in the United States for more than two centuries. It reads The Second Amendment provides: "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." It is the only amendment written with a purported purpose. The only one with a preamble or perhaps an observation that; a well-regulated militia is a necessity for the security of a free state, and an objective or a legality that: the right…
The right to bear arms is the the Second Amendment in the United States constitution. What says 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. The right to bear arms has been around this country long then it's been a country. Putting more restrictions on guns just goes against what our founding fathers intend the nation to be like and infringes against the right to bear arms.The second amendment supports my claim which is anti-gun control laws and how putting restrictions on gun makes it…
Citizens have been bearing arms since the beginning of time, but in today’s time it is becoming more of a problem. Having the proper gun control would play a major part in decreasing the crime and murder rate in the US. The 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.”…
The modern day anti-gun advocate cries out that if guns were outlawed, then the violent crime rate would drop dramatically. Were this true, I would agree with them, however, this is the true myth in the situation. Were guns still outlawed, the criminal with a desire to attain a gun would still be able to get them. In the first place, most violent criminals do not buy guns legally in the first place, they usually buy them from black market dealers. (Pitman p.17) Second, the crime rate does not come from the availability of firearms but from the lack respect in today's society for other people's lives and property. Were guns make illegal, the same affect as de-legalizing narcotics and, in the 20's, alcohol had, absolutely nothing. Those individuals that wanted to get these things, would still get them without any trouble at all.…
It is to be believed that America’s public safety is being threatened by guns. There have been numerous events leading up to this accusation. Today, there is a rising debate whether gun control should be legalized or forbidden. There stand two sides of this dispute, one is for bearing arms and the other is against it. One could infer that one side remains superior over the other. In America majority vote rules, therefore the gun control laws remain not into effect due to the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution reads, "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to possess and bear arms shall not be infringed” (ProCon.org, np).…
Bearing arms gives the person an easier way to wound or kill another person. This would result into deaths of many thousands, dying at gunpoint. Ordinary citizens should not be granted the right to bear arms as it provides an easier option to wound someone, result in countless number of deaths and provide weapons for criminals/terrorists which could aid them commit crimes.…
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a complete stranger who is in your house, threatening to harm you, and your family, and you cannot do anything about it. Imagine, not being able to go target shooting or hunting, because there are laws passed to prevent you from owning a firearm. The truth is, more and more people in this country are trying to restrict law-abiding people from owning firearms due to the overwhelming rise in gun related crimes. As law abiding Americans, the constituion gives us the right to bear arms. Whether it is for recreation or protection, restrictions should not apply to those who obey the law. We should not be forced into certain gun regulations, due to the criminals who violate the law.…
As American Citizens, we have the right to carry a firearm or firearms with us for protection. This is more commonly known as the Second Amendment. This has come into controversy over the past few years as more and more people want to remove guns from other citizens in order to "make themselves feel safer". This movement has started a mass debate…
