Certainly many factors contribute to commit a crime, but undoubtedly gun control
This article is about the main issue of gun control, and how it is enough. The article mainly focuses on two sides. The first side is that everybody should have guns from criminals to citizens. The other side is how nobody should have guns, besides law enforcement. First, this piece will discuss the pros and cons of how everybody should have guns. Then we will go on to identify some of the pros and cons about how nobody should have guns, bedsides law enforcement, and then conclude with my final opinion about the gun control issue.…
It is quite clear that by looking at criminals intentions and the overall protection of our country's people gun control should not be administered. Since the establishment of our great nation guns have played a central role and have been of great importance. Though some may think that guns are weapons of war, crime, and violence our Founding Fathers realized they were an essential right that needed to be preserved for the citizens. In the Bill of Rights the Second Amendment of the 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." Gun control proponents have…
He inspires change in this article, in hope of extending that to his readers. His use of facts, and a well structured essay make for an overall convincing argument. He does not appear to use much of his own voice or opinions in the paper, helping to make it seem unbiased and more so a speculation and analysis of gun control.…
A controversial argument opposite to both viewpoints of gun control mentioned, is the negatives of guns and the need for gun control. In the article, “The Impact of Violence on Children,” Joy Osofsky elaborates that gun violence in communities are extremely detrimental in communities especially on children. Osofsky, a professor of public health in Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center, uses masses of children psychology, scenarios and experiences to demonstrate the importance of gun control and to increase gun regulations. She focuses on children’s response to guns and violence, showing that the exposure of gun violence to children at their early ages not only increases their interest to use guns, but also the likelihood to use…
Since 1982, there have been at least 85 public mass shootings across the country, with the killings unfolding in 34 states from Massachusetts to Hawaii. Due to these mass shootings, the left side/liberals believe that the United States’ government needs to act and create and enforce gun control laws. Some people view all guns, no matter the purpose, as malicious and there is too easy of access to own a gun. The second amendment is in existence because our Founding Father’s saw how important it is for a free country to be able to stand up for themselves against tyranny. Those who are pro-gun control do not understand the valuable means behind the foundation of the United States of America. For 200 years, the second amendment has helped…
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…
On the contrary, opponents of gun-control laws claim that it is useless to prevent violence by regulating guns. In fact, law-abiding citizens are already permitted to carry concealed weapons in forty states with gun crimes rate remaining the same (Wright). In my opinion, with guns thousands of citizens could save their lives. Just like Jessica, they gain courage because guns are available to them when emergencies occur.…
Hello. I hope you are all doing well today. I see you all made it here alive. I would like you to think about that, as well as a couple of questions the next time you hear the word “Crime” or “Gun Control”. “Would more restrictive gun control policies have the unintended effect of impairing citizens’ means of self-defense?”. “Would restrictions stop attacks on public figures or thwart deranged persons and terrorists?” These were questions raised in the “Supreme Court Debates; Apr2010, Vol. 13 Issue” .…
I picked the topic Gun Laws because I thought it would be an interesting thing to learn and research about. Throughout my research about Gun Laws I found a few good resources but the others weren't that great. The best resource I found was an article about how if a person in Virginia admits themselves to a mental health institution, there right to own a weapon is taken away immediately. Then they go on to add that after the person recovers, the patient is trying to get the weapon back but they might not be able to gain that right again. One interesting thing that was said was "This article argues that it would be in the best interest of the patient and the community to amend Virginia's voluntary admission form so that individuals who seek voluntary mental health treatment are not automatically relieved of their firearm…

While guns are owned by many Americans, there are both pro and con arguments for gun control.…
Many believe that gun control will keep the United States safer. Afterall, if laws supporting gun control were formed, no criminals will have access to guns, right? Think again. There are multiple arguments occurring currently pertaining gun control. Democratic or republican, liberal or conservative, every person has their own opinion on gun control. While some people believe that gun control will keep Americans safe and protected, others believe that it will leave the country in chaos. Gun control laws should not be passed because the crime rate will increase, civilians will lose protection, and Americans who feel it is their right to be able to own a gun will not be afraid to stand up to the government.…
on assault rifles is unconstitutional. Joseph Sobran, an American journalist and writer analyzes the amendment: "The Second Amendment, whatever else it means, clearly forbids the federal government to ‘infringe’ that right” (par. 8). The federal government has taken away that right by limiting assault rifles. First, nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government granted to right to limit an individual’s right to own firearms. On the contrary, the Second Amendment expressly grants this right to all citizens, making all gun control laws unconstitutional. James Madison said in No. 45 of The Federalist Papers, "The powers of the federal government were to be ‘few and defined.’ The supposed federal power to regulate guns is anything but ‘defined’;…
The Second Amendment of the Constitution was created to protect the right of individuals and militia to keep and bear arms. In 2015 a survey of American fears was conducted by Chapman University which reported that 36.5% of Americans said they were “afraid” or “very afraid” of gun control (Ledbetter). Gun control has become a hot button issue within the scope of politics. This brings to the surface questions of why Americans are so afraid of gun control. An increased push in the desire for gun control legislation causes fear in Americans because of the perceived loss of control with personal protection. Along with this lack of control comes increased feelings of vulnerability, self-preservation, and a lack of empowerment.…
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.…
