Gun violence in the civil rights movements was due to people not accepting change in the way African Americans are being treated. At this time African Americans were known to be slaves or property. So many people despised them so much that they didn’t want to serve them any food. As for the shooting of presidents many people disagreed of Lincoln’s support of banning slavery.

Although guns provide a good way to protect us, they also offer an effective method to kill others. Perhaps many people may argue that gun is just one of the numerous tools killers use, they believe that gun control can’t eliminate murder. However, “The biggest problem with firearms is they kill quickly and they kill efficiently. The problem there is the instant impulse leads to death” (Schoener). Even though the government set up several restrictions for owning guns, killers can easily get them. What is worse, with the gun culture, people are more likely to release their anger by shooting. These entire make the gun law the most dangerous law we’ve ever…

There are several strategies that can dramatically reduce cases of gun violence. First, there are no reasons for citizens to purchase any type of semi-automatic or assault weapons. Instead, they should only be able to purchase handguns for protection purposes. Allowing citizens to purchase assault weapons only translates into providing support for people that have wrong intentions. Because these weapons are easily available, people who intend to cause harm can obtain one and carry out their plan. This is why it is very crucial to ban citizens from purchasing weapons that can inflict substantial damage. Although handguns can also cause great damage, they are less…

Gun violence can occur at any time and be committed by anyone, which makes it a very random, albeit common, occurrence. While gun violence can target single persons, mass shootings have become a recent phenomenon and one that strikes fear in to the hearts of millions. According to James Alan Fox and Monica J. DeLateur, there are five main causes of gun violence, and specifically mass shootings, including: revenge, power, loyalty, terror, and profit (127). Typically, it is a combination of two or more of the above reasons that lead to gun violence. However, according to Fox and DeLateur, “Among these types, revenge motivation is, by far, the most commonplace. Mass murderers often see themselves as victims – victims of injustice. They seek payback for what they perceive to be unfair treatment by targeting those they hold responsible for their misfortunes. Most often, the ones to be punished are family members or coworkers” (127). This adds a lot of context to why gun violence is so commonplace in America. Revenge is a feeling felt by many people at one point or another, but in America, taking those feelings of revenge to the extreme is possible due to the availability of guns and ammunition. Now, instead of just one or two people being murdered by the hands of a firearm, Americans are dying in record numbers due to mass shootings. Part of this is due to the above five reasons for gun violence, but part of it is also due in part to the availability of firearms that are seemingly made for more than just personal defense. Semi-automatic assault rifles are stocked on shelves nationwide in a number of stores. The right to bear arms is quickly turning in to an opportunity to kill based on raw emotion and it has become a major problem for America. Now that some of the causes of gun violence…
