After the recent Scalise shooting at a baseball field, gun control laws have been put into the spotlight. A debate between lawmakers who want to loosen gun control laws and lawmakers who want to make them stricter. After the Conservative lawmakers were almost victims, they decided that they should be able to have a concealed weapon on them. Being shot at gave them a different perspective on gun control and felt that it should be less intense. They felt that no matter what, “the bad guys are always going to get guns” (Cochrane).

    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.…

Wilson, previous a professor of Pepperdine University, UCLA, and an author of many public policy books, wrote and editorial letter trying to convince his intended audience that if the government passes more gun control laws it will not decrease the gun violence in America as much as society wants to believe it will. The LA Times published this editorial in 2007 and it is still a good resource.…

    The federal Government is over the one that would have to change the overall laws and regulations but each individual state has the right to set their own gun laws as long as they still comply with the federal government. California for example has had many of these laws that are trying to be passed currently such as the ban of 30 round assault rifle magazines and require that the rifles have a bullet button which makes the rifle reloading a lengthier process. So in the long run the States and fed’s sometime work together and other times wont.…

    Gun control advocates focus on the serious negative effects on gun availability on safety, while gun ownership advocates emphasize the lawful use of guns and their place in our history and culture. While our history and culture is important we need to address the current national problem in order to live in a safe enough society. In an effort to stabilize and decrease firearm related injuries and deaths in the U.S. a strong federal law to control guns is needed. In the bigger picture, we people will see the United States, as a Nation, as a better safer place to live in and not to die…

    These proposals for even stricter gun control than the ones implemented by the Brady Bill are all very much on the wish list for liberal politicians and advocacy groups that would like to bring about more gun control. These goals are admirable but there seem to be incredibly large roadblocks to actually having any of these measures implemented especially when there are much larger issues to deal with namely the quite sizable gun show…

According to The Center for Responsive Politics, gun activists argue that “measures intended to curb gun-related violence, such as mandatory child safety locks, background checks on those wishing to purchase a gun, limits on the number of guns a person can buy, and raising the…

    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.…

    People are discomforted by the fact that a ridiculous 15 years have passed since there has been an urge for gun legislation on the federal level. In the 2008 presidential campaign, neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama talked at all about gun control. In fact, Obama received an F for leadership on gun control to prevent gun violence from “A Brady Campaign” (Grunwald). However, Barack Obama did acknowledge the gun control dilemma only enough to make it seem unimportant in comparison to other issues he takes on. Obama stated “We essentially have two realities when it comes to guns in this country. We can reconcile those two realities by making sure the Second Amendment is respected and that people are able to lawfully own…
