Nobody needs guns for protection. If guns would not be allowed to own at home most of the massacres that have occurred till today could have not happened. People are losing their loved ones, school aged children have lost their lives, parents have lost their lives, grandparents have lost their lives. All this is happening because of right to bear arms. Many States have voted not to bear arms but southern states always won because they bring second Amendment in and thinks they have a right to bear arms.…
The Issue of Gun Control Gun Control is a problem because there is a lack of education amongst the people of this country regarding the safe use of guns and the role they play in our world today. In an article released by USA Today titled “Steps to Stricter Gun Control” it is assessed that, “Nothing will prevent another mass shooting like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The issue is lack of education...” From this quote, it can be suggested that with more insight regarding guns, gun control would be a much easier problem to solve. Many people do not understand the things guns are used for because it simply does not apply to their lifestyle.…
Thank you all for coming to the presidential address. Today’s date is the 14th of December, 2016. Today marks the 4-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Massacre that took place in Connecticut. We are gathered here to commemorate the lives lost on this day. The 28 lives lost, the 20 innocent children’s lives.…
Though guns have been used incorrectly in past and recent events, these instances cannot stop us from “securing an individual right to have guns for personal protection” as the 2nd Amendment so clearly states that we are allowed (Winkler). The right given to us by the constitution clearly states the we have the right to owning a firearm for our protection. There are assumptions where owning a gun may dissolve a conflict before the police or anyone who could even remotely help would be able to arrive. Showing those criminals how they are viewed by pointing a gun back at them causes them to second guess any of their choice to cause mayhem on U.S…
Society has been split into two over whether or not guns should be banned, but there needs to be a solution where both parties can be happy. Anti-gun advocates present reasoning why guns should be banned. McMahan’s main two arguments of why guns should be banned: one, guns in the community creates a more dangerous environment; and two, the police have less of a power to protect citizens when society has guns (Shafer-Landau, The Ethical Life (EL) 390). McMahan explains that communities are not going to be free of crimes with more people carrying around guns, because criminals will be more prepared, efficient, and quicker to grab and shoot their target (Shafer-Landau, EL 392-392). People with guns will be safer than people without guns, because they do not have a gun to protect themselves.…
In “America’s gun madness, as seen from Europe” Mirar Kamdar is comparing America gun control to Europe gun control. The author believes that is way easier to buy a gun in America then to by one in Europe. In the passage, kamdar stated, “Guns can be bought for use at firing ranges, but only after an application has been filed and approved by the police. All gun buyers must provide a medical certificate of mental and physical fitness to own a weapon, and all guns must be registered.” that’s what someone has to do in order to get a gun in Europe, but in America the person doesn’t have to do all that.…
As of today, there have been 3,269 gun related deaths in the United States and 12,818 gun related incidents. Fifty seven of those incidents were mass shootings, five hundred and forty were home invasions, and three hundred and ninety two were defensive use (Gun Violence Archive). Most guns used in shooting are stolen in some way or another and yet, we still think that taking away the ability to buy them will stop all of the gun violence. Guns are not going away; it is time to arm those able to carry, allow concealed carry on college campuses, and to realize that taking away guns will not stop the mass shootings.…
Guns are a way of life for some, but I personally believe that something should be done to help prevent the murders caused by people with guns. To help organize my thoughts I will discuss them by explaining why this concerns everyone,…
They don’t discriminate, they terrify people, they kill you! This is a big controversial topic. This is the defense that liberals use when it comes to gun violence “Gun Control”. The lengthy debate, which I will explain in this essay, will demonstrate why gun control simply does not work.…
In the past few decades, firearms have had a big impact on society. These impacts have been both good and evil, and have caused controversy on the topic of gun ownership. Some groups, such as the Brady Campaign, would like to see gun control laws take away some rights and restrict others, whereas the National Rifle Association would like to protect gun rights and educate society on the use of firearms. Both sides want to stop the problem of gun violence, but protecting gun rights is the only way to truly insure public safety. Gun control will not be able to stop the use of guns, and it will put citizens in an unfair situation where they cannot protect themselves.…
Why guns should be used in households. Guns should be able to be in any house as long as the person who owns the gun get a background check. Most people think people who have guns can kill anyone but yet they fail to recognize that guns can also be home defenses. People who own guns are not bad they just either like to shoot guns or they just feel there home is safer with a gun in their possession.…
Gun Control is Not the Solution Increased Gun Control in the United States is absurd, useless, and unnecessary. In order to increase safety all throughout the United States time and effort must not be spent towards limiting gun owners of their rights. The tragic rash of school, religious, and workplace shootings has turned up the heat on the public conversation about guns. In nearly all of these cases gun laws would not have stopped the shooters from obtaining a firearm.…
Guns do not kill people. People kill people. There are a lot of reasons that gun control is not the answer. I am strongly against gun control, because I think that if we go through with these laws it will not help. I think it will increase the deaths by guns, and I do not want people to die, that is why I am against it.…
In fact, owning a gun can actually be more safe than not having one. It can bring a sense of security to your home knowing that you have some sort of protection. Someone who is properly trained can safely protect their house and family from anyone trying to harm them while not having to worry about any accidents happening. Everyone hears of those accidental shootings once in awhile, but how much blame can we put on guns? Car accidents happen every day but no one blames cars, so we shouldn’t blame guns.…
By owning a gun are you able to protect your family or really hurt them? A story about a young boy who having known his mother hid a gun under her bed, retrieved the gun. The boy did this to show it to his neighbor, and ended up shooting the neighbor in the neck. This shows you that kids do not understand the power a gun has and the harm it can do to people. Why would you want to risk that happening to your child or to have him do it to another?…
