Therefore, both Soudani and Grisez have persuasive reasons for or against gun control. Their opinions represent the two contradicting attitudes towards gun-control laws. One group prefers tighter restrictions on firearms selling and circulation. However, the other group views it as an infringement of their Second Amendment rights ("Gun Control"). All in all, an examination of gun-control laws, from various perspectives, reveals we should implement moderate regulations to find a common ground instead of polarizing the political and social…

In the article written by Adam Gopnik entitled “Shootings,” he speaks about troublesome shootings, gun problems, and social issues in the United States compared to other nations. He believes that gun laws should be more restrictive, and that there is no reason a private citizen in the United States should be able to own a handgun. His argument is invalid; there are many reasons that someone would and has the right to own a gun. Gopnik rambles throughout the essay and does not provide enough support or structure to have a convincing thesis. He barely made a point.…
Moore, R. Gun Control. 13 Apr. 1995 In this essay by Richard Moore, he talks about the societal benefits of firearms in the hands of responsible citizens. He believes that keeping firearms from law-abiding citizens would do more harm than good. A law-abiding citizen “must not have a criminal record, must not abuse alcohol or drugs, must not be mentally ill, must not have renounced U.S. citizenship, must not have been dishonorably discharged from the military, and must be in the U.S. legally”…

The President must be able to justify the need for such drastic gun control changes and evaluate reasonable solutions to civil rights leaders who may think this policy is a violation of the Constitution. The President must understand the significant challenge involved with the proposed policy reform. He must be willing to accept these challenges whole-heartedly and commit to the time and energy required to move such life-altering policy. Though there will be avid supporters of the proposal, the President must prepare necessary defenses to address those opposing the…
Throughout the long and storied history of the United States of America, the right to own, bear and keep firearms, along with the right to defend oneself, is as central to the American identity as apple pie. However, unlike American cuisine, the issue of “gun politics” (as many academics and pundits call the issue) or gun control in the United States is extremely polarizing. During the last couple decades, the debate over gun control has been characterized by a stalemate between the individual's right to own firearms protected by the Constitution and the duty of government to prevent crime and maintain order. Stated differently, the current debate surrounding the right to bear and keep firearms within…
Do Americans citizens want guns illegally circulating in their community? Individuals and criminals purchase guns illegally every day. This type of conduct puts everyone at risk. This would include the law enforcement men, and women who take the oath to protect, and serve these communities. With over 30,000 people dying each year from firearms, gun control laws save lives despite the “Second Amendment” right to bear arms.…
The fact that over 40% of households in the United States own a gun is terrifying. Despite the fact that owning a gun for the self-defense purpose is a human right, a lot of speculations and debate on the same is still contentious. Although a lot of efforts have previously been dedicated to ensuring policies are put in place, the problem related to the problem still exists. For many years, the congress has tried to institute gun control policies that do not entitle criminals to own guns in vain. In this respect, a need for effective gun licensing and ownership regulations is required.…
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…
The most important role of the United States government is to protect the rights and freedoms of individual citizens. Some might argue that the world 's greater issue is government(1). All countries have social issues that are mostly blamed on the government. Governments should first focus on the social issues that the citizens are mostly concerned off. The United States has many social issues some of those issues are education, tax the wealthy, creation of new jobs, same sex marriage, gun control and many others.…
On any given year, roughly 12,000 Americans are killed in gun-related homicides. That means, on average, 33 U.S. men, women and children die at the hands of others using firearms each day. Stopping this violence entirely is an impossible task. As a people, all that Americans can do is try to mitigate this violence using policy, and recently attempts have been made at doing so by limiting the people’s right to bear arms. On paper, this approach makes sense: to lessen gun violence, fewer guns should be legally allowed in society and more regulations should be imposed on those weapons that can be carried. However, gun control is admittedly not that simple: some cities and states with more stringent policies have lower violent crime and firearm…
For American citizens, the right to bear arms is granted to us in the United States constitution. The constitution 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” (CITE). However, guns have changed dramatically since the constitution was written. Now, guns have the capacity to kill more people, quicker than ever before. And far too often, guns are not used for protection or self-defense, but to intentionally harm the innocent. For this reason, political figures, social activists and members of the general public have called into question what is really outlined and protected under the 2nd amendment. For example, are all guns permitted,…
