Common Gun Issue

Decent Essays
An issue in society right now is, what matters more, what a person thinks or a what a person says. I personally think it only matters what a person does because every person has their own thoughts that we can not control. We have to get to the point where we know that each and every person has their own opinions about certain things to even argue this issue. There is no law that necessarily says that us a society have to agree with everyone. For example the common gun issue. A lot of people are upset about the current gun law status in this country. A lot of people feel like it is necessary to have a gun for self-defense. Each argument deserves the same respect because they are feelings of the people, and like I said before each person has

    Texas Law states that “a person can also shoot someone they if they reasonably believe deadly force is necessary to prevent someone else from trying to kill or seriously injure them, or there is the threat of certain crimes such as sexual assault or aggravated kidnapping” (Schwaller, 2015) This was a law set to protect what one considers valuable, whether it be his or her own families or even just to protect oneself from harms way.

    I really don’t know where I stand on the issue, when it comes to standing or kneeling for the National Anthem, but I have heard both sides and I do empathize with each argument. In hearing both sides of the argument, it all comes down to RESPECT and FREEDOM. One side says kneeling disrespects the flag and the men and women who have fought for this country’s rights, while the other side asks, why respect this nation’s flag, when the superior race of this country, don’t respect me?…

    Views on reducing the homicide rate in the United States range from finding ways to reduce gun control, becoming more strict on alcohol consumption, and creating at on drug operations. According to our textbook, “firearms injuries are the second leading cause of death for ages 10 and 24 and the third leading cause of death for 25 and 34 year olds” (Alvarez & Bachman, 145). As a result, violent crimes with firearms (handguns) have only increased. The only way to fight of the lack of gun control laws would be to take into consideration what comedian Chris Rock stated during his HBO stand up entitled “Black & Blacker”. He mentioned instead of wasting our time with trying to pass gun control laws we need to raised the price on ammunition up to $5,000 bullet.…

    Gun Control Dilemma

    • 523 Words
    • 3 Pages

    All American citizens should care about the ethical nature in the gun control dilemma because they may be personally effected by the solutions that may be offered by the government in the future, or by the current situation in which gun control laws are in a relaxed state. Mark Gius who wrote "Gun Law and Crime” thinks that “mass shootings such as at Columbine and at Sandy Hook school in Connecticut” (Gius 6) should be reason enough to enact gun control laws. Gius went on to explain that between “Aurora (where 12 were killed in a cinema) to Newtown (where 20 children and six staff were killed at Sandy Hook school) and the Virginia Tech shooting in Blacksburg (where 32 died), dozens of innocent victims have died” (Gius 7). These tragedies tear apart families and ravage communities, thus the citizens of America should be more informed about these shootings and publically discuss and debate the shortfalls and benefits of gun control and gun advocacy. Public discussion would spread awareness of the tragedies…

    An incendiary debate has been sparked regarding current gun control legislation in the United States, because approximately 30,000 United States citizens lose their lives to gun-related crime and injury every year (Terror). The question is whether gun control laws should be strengthened to make it harder for potential criminals to possess weapons or kept the same to preserve the rights of the United States citizens. Gun control opponents believe that the answer to this problem is to loosen gun control laws to dissuade potential shooters. Gun control proponents believe that the answer is to tighten gun control laws so that a gun is never put into a potential shooter’s hands. To examine this issue, one must carefully ponder different points of…

Unfortunately, with all of the mass shootings and killings being reported by the media, guns are given a bad reputation. Sadly, many people believe that they should be illegal because they are dangerous and can kill people, but what these people don’t realize is making them illegal will do a lot more harm than good. Guns have created a balance in society and if we were to take them away it could cause a lot of chaos which would result in more crime and more casualties. People deserve the right to bear arms because with proper training one could possibly save his/her life and also protect others.…
