In order to repeal the 2nd amendment, a new amendment must take its place, which those supporting the repeal of the 2nd have no replacement for, two-thirds of the legislative bodies of the U.S. Congress must accept it, and lastly, thirty-eight out of fifty states must vote in agreement. Therefore it's almost impossible, and very very difficult for thirty-eight consecutive states to vote yes for the removal of their protection; it would be as one giving a burglar a key to their house, but in this case giving up a right many have died for in the 1700s. Though the government may be removing the guns from the hands of its citizens, the violence still remains. In fact, the removal of the constitutional principle was proved to be futile when a similar repeal in handguns occurred in the United Kingdom in England and Wales in the year of 1996, when a “50 percent increase in homicide rates” occurred, the firearm homicide rate doubling between 1996 and 2002, causing more problems in a country with fewer tensions than that of the U.S. and forcing one to ponder on whether the repeal would truly save people, or put them in more…
In the book Farenheit 451 we saw that strict rules made people do illegal things. People were not allowed to own books but they still did read and own them. People were even willing to die for that cause. Even the people who were supposed to enforce those rules broke them. If guns or assault rifles are banned people will not quit owning or using them. Also if guns or assault rifles are banned sales of ammo, magazines, reloading supplies and the guns themselves will skyrocket. Within the last year sales of assault rifles, ammo, and magazines have soared so much the manufacturers can’t keep up and have created waiting lists.…
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…
Guns have been a part of the American lifestyle for over two hundred years, so why are our citizens trying to ban them now? Gun control takes away the rights of the citizens, the government has laws in place to keep you safe, and banning guns won’t make the problem go away.…
The role guns play in our society has long been a controversial topic for the past few years in the united states. There are those who believe that guns do not belong in the hands of citizens and there are those who believe that guns are the foundation that protects our rights and liberties stated in the Constitution. There are too many leading factors as to why there should not be any stricter gun control laws. Some of these factors are that they go against our fundamental rights of self defense, give too much power to the government, and could potentially increase crime rates in the united states.…
Every Time there is a violent crime involving guns the media and public leaders blame guns and not the person accused of committing the crime FBI conducted an experiment and people were likely to be killed by a handheld object five times more than a rifle. Banning guns will affect only the law abiding citizens not criminals. Criminals don't follow the law that's why they are called criminals. If you're going to outlaw guns then might as well ban everything on market that can potentially hurt people. Gun laws in the U.S. should not be restricted because…
Gun control can be looked at from many different viewpoints from many different people. Some people believe that all crime will be stopped while others think it will only increase. Guns should not be banned in the U.S because banning them will not make the killers stop, good people need to help, and making guns illegal will just lead to people disobeying the law.…
However, in order to really solve the violence problem United States is facing, there needs to be realistic solutions, and banning the possession of guns is not a realistic solution. Legislations who ban types of guns are ineffective in the long term. For example, the Violent Crime Control Act and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 which banned assault weapons, did not seem to have any effect on crime at all. Between the years 1994-2004, gun violence using the banned assault weapons did not change dramatically, however, gun crimes using non-banned semi-automatic weapons were rising between the years 1994-2004. The bill was finally expired on September 13, 2004 when it was ruled unconstitutional.…
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…
The banning of firearms in America is an illegal act, and degrades the values this country was founded on. They not only play a vital role in many people's lives, but are useful tools, fun to use, and can protect people from harm. Our founding fathers wanted us to have them to protect ourselves from the government, and would be disgusted at our government's current abuse, and overall disregard of the constitution of the United States. A lot of people argue that guns kill people; this is untrue. Guns in the hands of a negligent person have potential to kill people, just as anything else.…
Why do people keep guns? These days many people own and carry guns with them in the name of security and protection. Many people own guns such as rifles and shotguns for the sport of hunting. The government allows people to own and carry guns by having a background check and getting a permit, but there are many private gun sellers who sell guns without any background checks and giving permits. The possession of guns should be strictly banned because they are the sign of violence, they have increased the rates murders and insecurity, and even many children have killed other children.…
Thomas Jefferson one of our founding fathers once said that “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms only disarm those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes”. Gun control laws have been around since the 1800’s ,with the fist law coming into play in 1870.That first law about firearms stated that you would need a license if you wished to carry your firearms outside of your own home and property. Then in the 1900’s a law passed to help insure the safety of other. That law passed in 1903 and it stated that firearms could not be sold to the drunken or the mentally insane and unstable. Evidence has proven that more gun control laws would not be beneficial to the public and would not help reduce the amount of violent crimes being committed with guns.…
Many countries have a controversy whether they should ban guns or whether not to. In the United States they have not banned handguns completely like other countries. Can you just imagine how much peaceful things would be if they would ban them in the united states as well? Lately as you can see in the news there have been massive gun shootings in schools from all ages. How is it possible for just any one to get hold of a gun that easily? Some benefits to banning handgun would be there won't be so much gun violence, not everyone can get hold of a gun so easily, and the population or estimates of kids dying do to gun issues would drop massively.…
The United States has been a gun culture country since the day the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. After many decades, gun ownership had rapidly increased, and many lives have been saved with a gun. An American citizen can legally purchase a handgun at age twenty-one and a rifle at the age of eighteen with a cleared background check by a licensed dealer. In recent months’ guns has become a very conversional topic because of all the incident happening around. For example, Orlando mass shooting, where 49 people died, and Dallas sniper shooting where 5 police officer died. Compared to early days USA have powerful police forces protecting its citizen. All the firearms should be banned because guns have already caused many deaths.…
