Argumentative Essay: Controlling Access To Guns
Controlling Access to Guns
All we see in the world are negative actions, these actions paralyze us. They make the community impossible to move forward, to grow, to develop. Guns were given to us for protection when endangered, not for the careless random act of killing others. It seems that we are trying to protect ourselves from guns, and not the other way around. This is why the access of guns need to be controlled.
We must not bite the bullet of fear. Pursuing gun control disallow citizens with a violent criminal past from owning firearms. In addition, benefiting our nation who spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year treating the uninsured victims of our daily gun carnage. Horribly misguided and completely self-serving efforts of the gun crazies have made our world dangerous by misusing guns, where people felt the need to attend church and school armed.
Innocent citizens should not worry about receiving a phone call filled with bad news. We should not be the ones to pay for our lost love ones. We should not live in fear when letting our child go off to school. Assuming that they will make it to the last bell ring. We should not be immune to the reality of what is happening on the news. We should not …show more content…
let Second Amendment issues be settled this way. Taking reasonable steps to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people is setting our sights on safety.
There has been numerous shootings at schools around the country.
Many of us remember the day where twenty-six people who had died at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut. Especially since twenty of them were children who ranged from five to ten years of age. This crime was committed by a mentally unstable man, Adam Lanza. The guns used were believed to have been purchased legally. But even with the legal purchase of the gun will not guarantee the safety of others if fallen into the wrong hands. All that is left to think about now is the “what if’s.” What if one of those twenty children who died help cure cancer, or help make the world a better place? They had their entire lives ahead of them: birthdays, graduations, marriages, kids of their
own.
Our country is headed in the wrong direction on the ownership of guns. Nearly anyone including terrorists, convicted criminals or the dangerously mentally ill can buy a gun from a private seller. In most states, there are no background checks or even proper ID required for people who buy guns from private sellers, including at gun shows.
The itching thoughts of the criminal and mentally ill are one in the sane. Both pull the trigger when loading bullets, like the inability of the tide. Now is the time to stop fear from barging into our lives. Too many have bought into the embrace of gun ownership. Carnage on the streets of America is not what the crafters of the Second Amendment envisioned. This world is a dream, but can sometimes be a nightmare. Do not let the word “freedom” influence you. Nothing in the world is free. In the end, there is a price that innocent people pay for the criminal’s actions.
