Strict Gun Control (SGC) is defined as a “collection of legally authorized limitations designed to impose firearm shortage on the general residents” (Lance K). In the USA everyone has right to own anything or right to purchase whatever they want. In the same way people are purchasing the guns for different views. Some of them are purchasing to protect themselves and also they think that they have right to own it. Whereas, the others believe that they earn money by harming or blacking others. The best example is the death of an international student Sai Kiran Goud .On June 15, 2015 this 21 year male, doing his masters at the university in Miami was apparently waylaid by a group of suspected robbers. As he refused to give his iPhone he was killed…
Various thoughts on gun regulation have been recommended to the press, local government, and people in power at the federal level. Most of which are quickly rejected as they are expected to fail or are unable to make it through Congress due to inside politics. An idea that has not yet been pushed through Congress is allowing all responsible citizens to carry firearms with the potential consequence of a minimum five year prison sentence along with fines if the weapon is not used by the carrier in a situation of self-defense. With those laws in place, criminals may consider alternatives before violating their next victim with a firearm. This will also help to cut down on straw-purchases of firearms.…
This existing policy of course is the second amendment. She explains how she highly agrees with the amendment but that people are seeing the amendment in the wrong way. 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 author also has no facts to be proven, her argument is mostly surrounded by opinion and belief. The only facts she really has are the most obvious to everyone: like a person who drives a car is licensed or the second amendment has the word militia in it.…
Every day the use of guns is acquired throughout the world. The big question on everyone 's mind is "Would Tighter Gun Control Laws Save Lives?" Both sides of the debate have valid arguments. Just look at the interesting statistics. In Washington, D.C., a city-wide gun ban was implemented in 1976. Immediately following the gun ban the murder rate increased, and for the next 15 years Washington was either first or second, nationally, in murder rate (Levy, 2008). According to the BBC News, handgun crime in the United Kingdom rose by 40% in the two years after it passed its draconian gun ban in 1997. The statistics show the bigger picture from each side of the argument. The pro argument is that gun control will save lives. The con of the argument is that gun controls will not save lives. The evaluation of ethical, moral, and legal issues is identified in relation to gun controls. The team identifies the more persuasive argument along with a reflection of team consensus. The weaker and stronger arguments are established to determine the awareness of gun control…
“Court orders reconsideration of Maryland gun law ruling” by Larry O’Dell February 2016, The Washington Post. Richmond, Va. Maryland’s assault weapons ban implicates it citizens Second Amendment rights and must be reviewed under a judicial standard. District Judge Catherine C. Blake gave gun-rights supporters a chance to argue to overturn and challenge the law. The Firearms Safety Act was passed after Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. The Act was a pro because it was designed to reduce gun violence and make the public safer. Maryland’s law affects the constitutional right to possess firearms for self-defense and home protection for the law-abiding citizens. Because of Maryland’s ban on commonly owned firearms violates an individual right…
Many Americans believe that Gun-Control Laws should be enforced, because “Individuals do not need guns for protection; it is the role of local and federal government to protect the people through law enforcement agencies and the military.” (http://www.StudentNewsDaily.com) All Individuals deserve the right to carry a gun with them at all times, to use for protection. According to the Second Amendment in the Constitution, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/second_amendment) Obtaining a gun, gives one the sense of feeling safe and protected given any situation. No one knows when they may be “attacked” or in danger, and the protection they need from the government may not always be there to protect them. Every American must learn self-defense and use it when needed, they shouldn’t have to rely and anyone but themselves.…
Symbolic policies on the other hand, have a minimum of material impact on people. It does not deliver what it appears to deliver. This policy allocates no tangible advantage or disadvantage. Symbolic policy will aid to change people’s values such as world peace, patriotism or equal rights or social justice. For example, freedom of speech and expression protected by the First Amendment, one has the right to voice their own opinion and make statements on a concern that interest them such as pro-choice or pro-life concerning…
“No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms within his own land,” stated Thomas Jefferson. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution defends the right of the people to keep and bear arms and was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments contained in the Bill of Rights. This right should continue to be protected. The right to bear arms is a fundamental right that provides protection to American citizens and their families.…
There is a big controversy about whether or not to have control over guns. One side of the controversy is that no citizen is allowed to have a gun in the house hold, only allowing the Army, Cops, and anyone with that power over the country. You also have the other side that the citizens are on, where many of the citizens use firearms for hunting, safety, and many other things. How could we take away firearms when so many people have and use them, “In the United States every 100 people 88.8% have firearms.” (ProCon.org “Gun Control ProCon.org”,1) The main reason the government is thinking to have gun control, is to decrease the lives that are getting taken away by these powerful tools that we use to have fun. Many people…
Growing up in the 1980’s, living in a rural area of Arkansas, guns were carried more for hunting then they were carried for everyday protection. Today, in the year 2014, living outside of a large Metropolitan city in Indiana I see guns being carried openly for personal protection more then I see them being carried for hunting. Gun Control is a topic you can hear at many restaurant tables or amongst people standing in a store. Do people really understand what they are talking about? Will stronger gun control laws help those that carry them legally? These are questions I ask when I am part of a gun control discussion.…
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.…
Guns started in China about one thousand years ago, but have been evolved in order to be more efficient in the amount and quality of ammunition shot as well as the accuracy and power of the guns. Gun use in America began when the nation was first colonized. The purpose of the guns were to help the colonists with gathering pelts and food, and defending them from attacks. Older guns were equipped with ammunition that was loaded into the gun from the muzzle, giving them their nickname muzzle loaders, and the hammer on the gun struck a flash pan that held gunpowder. These guns, known as muskets, have since been upgraded enough to have more advanced guns such as a Mossberg five hundred or an AR fifteen.…
Since the founding of our country, millions of lives have been taken due to lack of gun regulation. In the past year alone, there have been more mass shootings than there have been days in the year. These acts of terror have resulted in 12,703 deaths, 3,385 of which have been children and teenagers aged 0-17. The topic of gun regulation has become more and more heated over the past few years due to the increasing amount of controversial cases involving weapons (i.e. police brutality cases and racial discrimination incidents). Due to the rise in gun-related deaths, the United States Federal Government continues to argue over the way to reduce the number of innocent lives lost. Republicans argue that mental health should be a greater focus than…

The controversy of guns and gun control has been around for decades, and people have been making laws on this topic since 1791. There are multiple positions you can take on this topic, and most of those positions have sufficient evidence and reasoning for why it's good. With all the laws/restrictions on guns today, it's clear guns must have some effect on our nation. The definition of gun control is "laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms". To summarize, gun control is the laws that let governemnt control the purchase and possesion of firearms. Due to multiple reasons, this idea has spawned much controversy. The first reason some people find it controversial is because they…
