Gun Control is a broad term that covers any sort of restriction on what kind of firearms can be sold and bought, who can possess or sell them, where and how they can be stored or carried, what duties a seller has to vet a buyer, and what obligations both the buyer and the seller have to report transactions to the government.
This law is basically made for white American men, like most laws are.
According to Gunsfreedom.com, “The Federal government started its gun control policies in response to the waging wars of the gangs in 1934 with the National Firearms Act of 1934. This enacted a long series of measures trying to stop the spread of increasingly destructive firearms in gang violence.”
The guns aren't bad, it's just the people who chooses to do bad with the firearm. America is basically the bad person with the gun, slaving everyone else on the land, by making laws and having millions of dollars.
Gun laws need to be changed so that it is difficult to obtain guns and a person owning an illegal firearm will find himself with a stiff prison sentence even as a first-time offender; the law should benefit every race & not just one.
The Second Amendment is a big part of gun control. The second amendment is a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people …show more content…
to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The “well-regulated militia” that the US Constitution's second amendment refers to were slave patrols, land stealers and Indian killers, all quite necessary as the amendment's language states “to the security of a free state” built with stolen labor on stolen land.
Why does the US Constitution guarantee a right “to keep and bear arms”? Why not the right to vote, the right to a quality education, health care, a clean environment or a job? What was so important in early America about the right of citizens to have guns? And is it even possible to have an honest discussion about gun control without acknowledging the racist origins of the Second
Amendment? This amendment seemed to be aimed to guarantee the right to a gun for every free white man in their new country. When you go back in our history, the initial wave of gun-control laws was instituted after the Civil War to deny blacks the ability to defend themselves. The Jim Crow and black codes laws passed in the South shortly after the Civil War that restricted the freedoms of African-Americans, among them the right to carry firearms.these laws facilitated the activities of the terrorist organization Ku Klux Klan, America’s first gun control organization. The top item on the Klan’s agenda was confiscating arms from the free African Americans, the better to terrorize them afterward.
Gun laws have a lot to do with racism. If an black or Latino get caught with a gun they aren't supposed to have, they'll be 6 feet deep under somebody's prison or 6 feet under the ground in a graveyard; but if an white wealthy man shoot up a school, they get special treatment. Throughout much of American history, gun control was openly stated as a method for keeping blacks and Hispanics "in their place," and to quiet the racial fears of whites. Starting in 1751, the French Black Code required Louisiana colonists to stop any blacks, and if necessary, beat "any black carrying any potential weapon, such as a cane." If a black refused to stop on demand, and was on horseback, the colonist was authorized to "shoot to kill." Is that what goes through most cops heads that shoot to kill without hesitation?
Blacks get treated differently(wrong) because of the color of our skin. We get treated like we're a different race but in reality there's only one race and that's the human race, We should be able to protect ourselves like any other white person since we've been to hell and back. Most blacks behavior has to do with how they get treated and where they grew up & the history horrible were apart of. We should be able to have an legal weapon to protect ourselves from police & violent racist people.
Now that Donald Trump is president of the United States, gun laws should change more than ever. He basically gives all the racist & violent people in the world an “ok to be violent” since he's going to make America great again. The citizens in America should just feel safe & gun laws should focus on criminal records instead of race & power.
