All in all, it is not a good choice for American society at the present stage to ban gun. From the constitutional view, Gun Ban is contrary to the constitution of human rights and protection spirit; from the political view, it will increase the risk of tyranny; from the economic view, it will lead criminal squares to become one of the guns of the monopolist; from the social reality view, it leads to the lack of citizen means of self-defense; finally, from social culture view, it does not conform to the American culture tradition and social psychology. I think the key to the problem of gun crime is not the gun itself, but the deep problems of the society, such as poverty, social life and so on. I think gun control is just a…
This world is a scary place. Having a concealed weapon offers you a protection you would otherwise have to wait according to Peoria pd on average 6.7 minutes. When there is an emergency we don’t always have the time we need in order to wait for professionals to arrive. Much like CPR, we train ordinary people to give CPR so we can keep someone alive while waiting for professionals. We need trained ordinary people to help and give us that little bit of extra time.…
Why is gun control the supposed “cure” for crime? Why is there always this need to blame guns for people’s crimes? If this theory is correct, then the belief that pencils cause grammatical errors is also true; wait, that doesn’t sound right, does it? Now, all of a sudden when the “cure” is used in this light it becomes ridiculous. In fact, Americans have a constitutional right to own handguns, and stricter laws and licensing will not effectively save lives.…
Gun control should not be in force because it only affects the people who follow the laws. If weapons were banned, that is, putting gun control into effect, the people who follow laws won’t be able to protect themselves from people who don’t abide by the laws. The main purposes of fire arms is self- protection and hunting. So if the government tries to take our weapons away from us we can just throw the 2nd amendment at them and tell them that this is unconstitutional. We understand they are trying to cut down on crime, but it is actually making the crime rates go up. In Britain the government thought it would bring the crime/murder rate down but, it actually increased about 1 million more deaths each year. The government is trying to get is ammo they are trying to limit ammo manufactures to a certain amount of ammo a day. They are also making people go into havoc and making them go crazy over ammo, so people are buying…
Something terrible happened last week, nine people were killed and nine others were wounded in the Oct. 1 shooting at Umpqua Community College. The murder killed himself after being shoot by the police officers. Nine innocent students lost their lives causing furor around the nation. Reviving the controversial issue of gun control laws, many politicians and citizens took this opportunity to argue their point of view on this topic.…
So, I believe that Americans should be able to own guns and not have their 2nd amendment infringed upon because the 2nd amendment says “ The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This implies that the people of the U.S can have weapons to defend themselves and no further. Now obviously there is flaws to this as there is criminals that use weapons for horrible acts, but we have people that own guns to protect themselves from the criminals in which case a weapon is used in self defence and not to commit an act of crime. As well as people who use them to protect themselves it is also not meant to kill the gun for example is something that doesn’t kill the user of the…
Gun controls vs. gun rights have been an issue for many years. With every death used by guns, the debate gets hotter and hotter. Gun control believers want you to believe that if all guns were outlawed then there would be no crime. Gun rights believers want you to understand that it is your constitutional right to own a gun. Unlawful or irresponsible people contribute to the debate between gun control vs. gun rights.…
Gun control, an issue rising in the minds of people. Everyday we see in news that someone got shot, someone got robbed and many other stories in which a “gun” has major role. In every part of the world gun violence has increased and gun control has become hot topic for debate. Do carrying guns makes society safe or dangerous? Studies by New Stanford (2014) showed, increase in gun ownership increased crime. So, gun control is demanded. But there are many people who are against gun control. People often argues that they have right to own a gun, its for the self defense etcetera. Do people really consider while purchasing gun? Somehow its correct, people have right to own gun for the sake of one’s self defense but to reduce crime there…
Laws having to do with gun control should have stricter regulations and require more in-depth background checks before anyone is allowed to purchase a fire arm. Gun control has been a major debate for a very long time now. It started hundreds of years ago in different parts of the world and continues today. Though there are always two sides to an argument, I firmly believe that being pro-gun control is important.…
According to the NRA (National Rifle Association), guns are used for self-defense 2.5 million times a year. (www.gun-control.procon.org). This shows that there is a need for guns, and they are used for self-defense and protection. If guns are used that many times a year for self-defense, then there is a purpose for them and why there shouldn’t be any more stricter gun control laws. 61% of man and 86% of women said “stricter gun control laws would make obtaining guns and protecting themselves, more difficult”(www.gun-control.procon.org). This proves that gun owners believe these laws will make it difficult to protect them. The right to protect one’s self shouldn’t be made…
Most people who own guns, are the legal owners of that weapon (“Kates”1). Other countries and some states in the United States that restrict gun laws have more murders than places that do not have gun laws (“Guns in”3). In the United Kingdom they banned handguns in 1997. Since then, the attack and crime rate went up 77%. This is equivalent to two attacks every two minutes. (“Guns in”3). This is further evidence that guns are not just for killing, guns are for…
Gun violence is one main thing that tears families apart. Crazy, non-educated people roam the streets with dangerous weapons killing people and causing tragedies. Society would have done better if only police had the access to weapons and guns instead of civilians and criminals, although they could be confiscated. Gun violence incidents have been happening for a very long time, most of the time without a reason. Shootings, robberies, etc. all include the use of a weapon like a gun. These things happen every day. For example, if someone is trying/planning on killing someone, they won’t be able to do that without a weapon. Guns are meant for self-defense, people like gangsters don’t use them the way they’re supposed to be used, but why? Using them not the right way will get them in trouble and do nothing but get them thrown in jail, just use guns in the proper form, for self-defense, not homicidal kills. It is important to always stay cautious of your…
Today in America there is a huge debate going on. Do we as Americans have the right to carry a fire arm, in our car, in our purse, or even on ourselves? Should they only be allowed in our homes? Who, if anyone should be allowed to own a gun? What will happen to the crime and death rates if laws are changed? There are many different opinions on this matter. In reality, allowing more people to own and carry firearms will decrease the crime and death rates.…
“I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it (Eastwood). Statistics are proving that we need to prevent gun violence and get rid of all access to all guns. In this country, anybody can get a gun, statistics prove gun violence is increasing, we need to prevent gun violence. Banning guns completely will make America safe again. Every day, 306 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides and suicide attempts, unintentional shootings, and police intervention. Every day, 90 people die from gun violence: 31 are murdered. 56 kill themselves (Key Gun Violence Statistics). Private gun ownership should be banned.…
One of the biggest controversial topics in America today is Gun Control, whether we should or should not have gun control. The Government claims that if they take the guns away, that there will be a drop in deaths and crimes. The Second Amendment state that every citizen of the United States of America has a right to bare arms(ProCon#1). The Gun Control Law will take away that right completely, along with some of our freedom. If the Gun Control Law is enforced in the United States, our hunting right will be removed, our self-defense right will be taken away, and it will amplify the problem.…
