The right in which a person has to carry a concealed weapon has come to decreasing crime. Throughout multiple surveys and studies a lot of promising facts based upon the facts of a person carrying a concealed weapon have been proven to being true. Some fact that could help to prove the past statement could be shown by the statement that there have been: “1600 fewer murders, 4200 fewer rapes and 60000 fewer severe assaults” alone in the state of Pennsylvania (Reynolds and Burnett 30). So in turn based merely upon these facts it has been proven that allowing a citizen to carry a concealed weapon has come to being a positive attribute to society. Ms. Collins herself stated, “If she had been carrying her licensed gun, she would have averted the

The amount of paperwork they have to fill out is ridiculous. And to make things even more interesting the laws and or the requirements a person has to endure are different in every state. This too many has come to be found as completely horrendous. To think that this country goes by the name The United States and our states can’t even agree upon a common law and or regulation for its citizens to in which to be enforced throughout the country. For example, “Everyone seeking a CCW permit in Pennsylvania undergoes a background check that includes searches of five and three federal databases” (Ziff 8). This alone to a person can be extremely demeaning. It’s amazing that they could be the perfect citizen and they have to be treated as if they are a criminal. To many this is what sends the felons, the one who should be punished, back to the “markets” to purchase illegal weapons. The amount in which one has to take to receive a permit is disgusting.

Nothing will stop a criminal from receiving a weapon. One way in which the government has come to attempting to stop this illegal gun trade is by enforcing the Brady Law. This law was enforced to stop the ability for felons and criminals and or any person with a violent past or with miss use of a fire arm from having the opportunity of obtaining a firearm. This law stopped a decent amount of illegal purchasing of firearms. As stated by the author Douglas Weil, “because of the Brady Law more than 100,000 prohibited (Including 72,000 felons) were denied access to a handgun that they attempted to purchase from a gun dealer.” This is a pretty biased answer for the fact that it only speaks of the legal side of things. Making it sound better, because on the other side of things felons and criminals are able to find ways to in which obtain these illegal firearms and basically fight the system. So, in the sense that having these laws enforced is a great idea for society is absurd for the fact that they don’t have the power or authority to actually enforce these laws upon the ones to be punished. And in turn there have been hundreds of illegal markets pop up due to these laws, so in turn this Brady law had done more wrong in society then it had done positively Furthermore these laws that had been enforced truly have had no effect due to the fact there still is an illegal market for firearms in today’s
