With the arms carrying laws being one of the topics of the day, the recent ruling by the district court in San Diego, California may matter for more people, than just the Sunny State's residents... The 9th Circuit's Peruta decision accurately upheld limits on concealed arms, but evaded the Second Amendment right to open carry. That sets off an interesting precedent, which made a lot of Texan lawyers and pro and anti gun groups to look out and analyze the legal (possible federal-wide) consequences of that…

In recent history, the most important legislation is the Gun Control Act of 1968. This federal law requires dealers to have a license, restricts purchases by prohibited persons, including felons and minors, and generally prohibits the interstate sale of firearms. Within the Gun Control Act of 1968, the Brady Permit (Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993) mandates a 5 day wait period on the selling of handguns for background checks. From 1968 to 2014 the bill has blocked 2.1 million unqualified citizens (domestic offender, fugitive, age, etc.) from purchasing a handgun. National Firearm Act of 1934 was the federal government’s first attempt to regulate gun laws, but only covered the limited sell of machine guns and short-barrel firearms, including sawed-off…

Gun control is not constitutional and will not save these thousands of deaths because the evil men and woman that kill these people will always find ways to get illegal guns or weapons, if they took away guns that would lead to much power to the government and it is the second amendment right to own guns. For instance, the Paris attacks is a very sad example of the truth, that no matter how many limitations you put on gun control, very evil people can find a way to take advantage of law abiding citizens……
Time goes on and more shootings occur. On July 20, 2012 James Holmes entered a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado (Jezebel, 2015). Holmes killed twelve people and injured 58 others by shooting them. In a CNN article, Holmes is said to have purchased the guns legally in a store in the Denver area (Oates, 2012). If these shooters did not have guns to shoot people with, most likely none of this would…

When these type of tragedies happen, we always say, “They’re in our prayers.” Prayers are not enough to stop nor minimize gun violence. There has to be action taken.

It is no longer 1791, and guns are no longer needed in the hands of citizens when there are law enforcement officers doing all the protecting.…
More than 100,000 people are shot every year, amounting to an average of 289 people per day. Of those shot each day, 86 of them die, 30 of them being murdered (Djansezian). Gun violence is a problem, that is certain. However, gun restrictions that make it harder for law abiding citizens to obtain firearms is not the way to go. Rather, more concealed permits, with greater education on guns and the harm they can cause are the answer.…
