Personal Narrative: I Have A Perfect Utopian Society

Improved Essays
I’m a big fan of guns, I shoot guns and go hunting occasionally if I had the money I would do it more often. A lot of people have these thoughts that if we take away guns, video games, and music that incites violence we’ll have a perfect utopian society. According to those people, because I’ve played video games since I was three, I’ve shot guns for the past few years, and I listen to heavy metal, I should’ve killed more people than Hitler, but instead I’m just a normal guy but with different hobbies.
Some people think we should have shorter magazines for guns. I think for people who are new to owning guns, should probably have a short magazine in case they plan to use it for violence. If you have used guns for multiple years and have used

    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.…

    The Brady Campaign presents the cons of lenient gun laws by showing emotion and statistics on their website in several ways: “ Of the 33,000 people who die from gun violence in this country, how many could be saved? “ and “ Gun Violence Takes A Massive Toll on American Children “.

    Russ Shafer-Landau provides us with an article by Jeff McMahan in order to give us an analytical argument on gun control. Jeff McMahan, in his article Why Gun Control Isn’t Enough, discusses why he believes guns should not simply be controlled in the United States, rather they should be banned. McMahan makes the case that gun ownership, in its entirety, is dangerous and illogical. Through several examples and through his own reasoning, McMahan hopes to convince the reader that the only way forward on the topic of ‘guns’ in the United States is to completely ban civilians from owning traditional firearms, from the ground up. Through my counter-argument, I intend to show that while McMahan’s argument is versed well on intent, it is mostly normative,…

    As the country with the largest stockpile of privately owned firearms, we aren’t doing much to prevent them from falling on the wrong hands. According to The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act convicted felons, drug users and abusers, and mentally ill people are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms (FBI). But, convicted criminals and mentally ill people are acquiring firearms without any difficulty and are using them for the wrong reasons mainly because of weak laws that regulate the sale of firearms. Firearm sales in gun shows are not regulated by the FBI and buyers are not required to go through any kind of background checks at the time of purchase. According to a report by the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program titled “Inside Gun Shows: What Goes on When Everybody Thinks Nobody’s Watching”, it is reported that more than forty percent of gun sales occur privately without any regulations.…

    Why is there so much fascination with banning guns today? Advocates of gun control view guns as morally evil and gun control is their answer to gun violence. A gun is an amoral object just like money, rock, knife, stick, car, and a set of hands; furthermore, an individual's moral compass gives an object moral worth. A criminal who wishes to harm others with a particular type weapon will usually obtain it illegally; however, weapons are rarely legally purchased to commit a crime. We need to find the actual source of today’s gun…

Unfortunately, with all of the mass shootings and killings being reported by the media, guns are given a bad reputation.
