    Two of the most common emotions of people around the world are love and hate. It’s about time somebody compares the two and contrasts the two and that someone is me.

    These three essays on the topic of gun control, “Both Sides Have Something to Fear” by David Ropeik, “We Can Ratchet Down the Passions” by Adam Winkler, and “A Divide Widened by Misunderstanding” by David Kopel, have many similarities in their views and opinions of the gun debate; i.e. to have gun rights or gun control. Not only their viewpoints, or lack thereof rather, but their timing from when these essays were written and their use of emotional ethos to grab the audience’s attention are all very similar. There also are a lot of differences between these three essays, such as who is in charge of the debate, and what caused the debate in the first place.…

    Gun Control Since the days of the pioneers of the United States, firearms have been part of the American tradition as protection and a means of hunting or sport. As we near the end of the 20th century the use of guns has changed significantly. Because of fast and steady increase in crime and the fight for the right to own a hand gun, the introduction of legislation for gun control, to try to reduce the crime in the United States, has been a hotly debated issue in recent years. Although many people feel that gun control violates the right of the people, given in the second amendment "the right to bear arms", controlling distribution and sales and the registration of guns and gun owners is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns and the violence by criminals using guns. Many people feel that gun control violates the right of the people given in the second amendment the right "to bear arms". Opponents of gun control, including the National Rifle Association, better known as the NRA, argue that the "right To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere. However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns. In 1988 there were 9000 handgun related murders in America. Metropolitan centers and some suburban communities of America are setting new records for homicides by handguns. Larger Metropolitan centers have ten times the murder rate of all Western Europe. For example in Washington,D.C. there was an estimated 400 homicides including guns. In addition gun control has been seen as necessary because of the violence…

    Over the past few months, people across the nation have been debating about gun control. Topics ranging from firearm restrictions to background checks have been heavily discussed by both emotion and logic, by both gun supporters and gun control activists, and it seems like there is no middle ground for both parties to agree on. Crime rates influence guns demanded for self-protection, and guns demanded by criminals depend upon guns held by law-abiding citizens. Comparative-static analysis is used to investigate the effects of crime and gun control policies. The results show that increases in crime control policies may reduce crime by less than one would expect because of the indirect negative effect on guns owned by the law-abiding public. Gun control policies reduce the demand for guns, but the effect on premeditated crime is ambiguous because of the negative effect on guns owned for self-protection and recreation.…

    America in the past 10 years has experienced tragedy after tragedy. Most tragedies due to war, finances, and gun violence. After the more recent massacres, America must do something soon and effective. Strengthening gun security across the U.S. has been a debatable topic, which many are for as well as against. Some believe it isn’t the right time to discuss gun control after tragic events have occurred, emotions are so high. In response to that, when then? When should America find a way to not only prevent but stop gun violence? This seems like a perfectly reasonable time for such a discussion.…

    Crime and guns. The two seem to go hand in hand with one another. But are the two really associated? Do guns necessarily lead to crime? And if so do laws placing restrictions on firearm ownership and use stop the crime or protect the citizens? These are the questions many citizens and lawmakers are asking themselves when setting about to create gun control laws. The debate over gun control, however, is nothing new. In 1924, Presidential Candidate, Robert La Follete said, “our choice is not merely to support or oppose gun control but to decide who can own which guns under what conditions.” Clearly this debate still goes on today and is the very reason for the formation of gun control laws.…

    How many people do not fear being attacked by someone with a gun? The truth is that most people do share a fear of guns. This is the result of the lack of control over the possession of a gun. Anyone can get their hands on a gun no matter what they intend to use it for. Almost 30,000 people die each year in a gun related incident (Soyer 1). People are not careful enough in deciding where they place their weapon or how they use it. Because of its poor gun control system, America is in the top five in the world in death rate by guns. Someone who has a gun has complete control over a person without one, which leads to an increase in burglaries, rapes, and also in the number of gangs. Ronald Reagan once said, "As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it" (Gun 2). When put in the wrong hands, a gun can be a killing machine as demonstrated in many events in the world today. Although many people feel that they have a right to own a gun, they have lost that right because of many gun-related crimes that results in thousands of deaths and injuries each year.…
