Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

threatened by the thought that anyone could get hold of a gun if they tried? Whilst in England you need a license even own a gun, in the USA it’s legal to carry a gun into public places (in some states). The only reason it’s legal to carry firearms is because of the Constitution of Rights in America and the Second Amendment (the right to bear arms). This Bill of Rights was adopted in 1791. Should people still have to live by these rules that were made 200 years ago? Back then, you may have…

Gun Control Gun control. We’ve all seen or heard something about it. It’s a very common topic in the world today. The debate about gun control basically states that either we should or shouldn’t ban firearms. In my opinion firearms should not be banned as this would violate our promised rights as americans given to us by the second amendment in the bill of rights. Firearms can’t and shouldn’t be banned. Some say that banning firearm related crimes. My claim to this is criminals don’t follow…

#1 Radio Review: History of Domestic Violence Am giving a “B” to this program. I like it because it discusses a common big problem facing the Country “Gun Violence.” The program called awareness to the correlation between domestic violence and mass shooting and the important of keeping guns away from abusers. I agree with that, of course, it has always been illegal for domestic abusers to possess guns, but the point is that, they could still buy guns from private sellers, which makes it more…

Control While the Obama Administration is attempting to put restrictions on and do away with some specific guns, criminals are finding them on the black market and purchasing them illegally. Putting restrictions on gun ownership violates the 2nd Amendment right, which is the right of the people to keep and bear arms, and the right to self defense. The key to keeping our nation safe is not having armed citizens, we need experienced and informed citizens. We need to put more focus on the values…

mentally ill acquiring guns. First, it will give states incentives to provide mental health records to a federal database. It will also clarify what information is necessary and penalties will be imposed on upon states who fail to agree with this. This will increase the knowledge of people who are of mental disorders, who will not be sold guns, in order to protect them from others and themselves. Finally, it does not attempt to undermine the second amendment and includes a variety of pro-gun…

history. The United States of America was born out of violence. On July 4th 1776, a group of well-respected Americans signed The Declaration of Independence, officially announcing America’s separation from Great Brittan and initiating the Revolutionary War. Once America emerged as victors of the war in 1783, in order to protect the civil rights of American citizens, laws were created by members of legislature. Today, one of the most controversial laws can be found under the second amendment…

Gun control debate Gun control is an extremely current debate in America, being that it is the only highly developed country that gives people the right to own a gun with just a background check that is conducted in store purchases. Gun buyers have to fill out a form from the ATF, or the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This article presents National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre and Chris Cox’s personal beliefs towards gun control in America, whilst proposing…

make a valid argument. It is unrealistic to believe that the government would be able to take all guns away, even if they put regulations on them. People have many ways to get their hands on guns, even if they have to do it illegally. The article states,” There is no easy way to get Americans to voluntarily surrender their guns. Asking them nicely won’t do the trick.” This implies that people feel personally attached to their guns and that they aren’t going to just turn them in.…

of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, Shall not be infringed.” My interpretation of the second amendment is me being able to legally purchase a firearm and use it for protection if I need to. I am all for guns however, I do believe there are pros, cons, and gun laws to allow Americans to keep their guns. Guns can definitely be used as a protection based on how responsible gun owners are. In Responsible Gun Ownership Saves Lives, paragraph five and six states how…

Though this is a valid point that could arise, it does not explain why the areas with a gun ban had increased crime that was so drastic as opposed to the rest of the U.S. whose crime rate decreased. These statistics show that gun bans are quite possibly one of the worst ways to protect citizens, they could, in actuality, put people in more danger because they prevent them from using a gun as an effective mode of self defense. Some gun control supporters misconstrue the problem as just being with…
