Murica doesn’t need Gun control Gun Control is a very hot topic these days. Some people think that having more gun laws in America would lessen the number of murders in America, however I think that having more strict gun control laws would do nothing to stop criminals from getting guns or killing people. Criminals will always find a way to get weapons. To prove this, handguns in the UK have been banned since 1998 and the murders have actually rose in numbers. For this reason I think gun control laws would not stop criminals from getting guns…
Though gun control is a necessary thing, many are against stricter gun control laws. Those opposed to stricter gun control laws would state that gun control would have no effect on reducing crime (Gottieb 1991). However, according to the Huffington Post, which states that with “Higher gun violence tend to have much less stringent gun laws” (States 2013). Having gun laws that put severe restrictions on guns are unhelpful and impractical. The government can make it almost impossible to obtain a…
With gun laws, guns will be taken from law abiding citizens, but will remain in the hands of criminals. Gun education and safety is needed more than new laws. The best way to prevent shootings is to instill in children from a young age the right and wrong of gun ownership. This includes never pointing a gun at another person. Also if we take a close look at Mexico, we will understand why gun control laws will not work in America.…
Despite this, other changes can be made and new laws can be enforced to possibly minimize the amount of incidents that occur nationwide. Approximately 306 people are shot every day by assaults, suicides and police interferences. I believe in order to better this country for the path of less violence, a plan needs to be made to even further tighten our security, as well as our punishments, to better enforce the law of non-licensed people not being able to wield, or carry around a gun. This could be in the form of a bill, legislation, or even a new law passed by congress that proposes that any and all individuals seen or caught possessing a firearm illegally, or, in an area that prohibits them after being forewarned, will be prosecuted immediately. These laws will also come with more efficient security checks at places such as airports, clubs and crowded…
Gun Control is Not the Solution Increased Gun Control in the United States is absurd, useless, and unnecessary. In order to increase safety all throughout the United States time and effort must not be spent towards limiting gun owners of their rights. The tragic rash of school, religious, and workplace shootings has turned up the heat on the public conversation about guns. In nearly all of these cases gun laws would not have stopped the shooters from obtaining a firearm.…
62% of the 31,000 deaths caused by a gun are suicides (Cornell 2). According to Arthur L. Kellerman, MD, “residents of homes where a gun is present are 5 times more likely to experience a suicide than residents of homes without guns” (A Case for Gun Control). I have experienced the effects of suicide within my own family. One month ago, my cousin Marisa committed suicide. She was 26 years old and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years prior to the tragic incident.…
Although for many years people had accidents or some type of way of feeling towards this weapon I am all for having this in my household. I mean it’s part of our amendment so I don’t have no problem with it. I’ve always wanted to own a gun. I guess having a gun in my household always brought some safety to me.…
What do you think is the most notorious crime in American history? I think the most notorious crime is a felonious homicide. The gun shooting is definitely more common but threatening among the acts of murder. I believe that the United States needs to strengthen a gun control because it is a key to reduce the death rates. There might not be much things that we can do about it, in such as a country where the parents murder their children and the children murder their parents that is currently happening in these days.…
Our national efforts to encourage registration of all firearms may be working against our cause. Thousands upon thousands of individuals are very distrustful of our movement and the government. Recent serious crimes have made the public even more fearful, and many look to their firearms to defend themselves and their families. The worse it gets, the less people will want to give up their guns. Many people swear that if a national gun registry becomes a reality, their guns will go underground.…
When gun control was put on trial the Second Amendment was placed. The Second Amendment was place for all individuals. The second amendment is a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. , only for particular reasons. Gun control laws are needed to control gun violence, to stop people from killing each other, and to decrease crime rates.…
Gun Control Gun control was an issue, it had background checks for buyers. The laws regulating who can carry weapons in public. First, you would need to take classes and get a permit. Then you would need to show authority the permit to get a gun and that you would use the gun for protection. You would have to take shooting lessons and gun safety classes.…
That not only will not decrease the number of criminals have guns, but also decrease the number of law-abiding citizens have guns, which make law-abiding citizens lose ability of self – protection. The more important thing is that sources of crime is the people’s thoughts and desires. Each of the shootings the killers was the person who shot, not the gun itself. The Government cannot simply rudely to solve this problem by the way of the gun ban. In the article “Just Take Away Their Guns”, James Q. Wilson wrote that “Our goal should not be the disarming of law-abiding citizens.…
California Governor Jerry Brown said Wednesday that authorities had arrested 21,372 people and shut down 985 radical mosques under emergency laws passed in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attack in San Bernandio. The governor said authorities had carried out 2,235 raids across the state during the past 24 hours. He said 133,335 weapons were seized, including 102,224 military-grade weapons. Brown said that the number of weapons seized would have been much worse if California didn't have some of the strictest gun control laws in the country.…
This is how all these shootings are happening. I think if we increased gun control laws, there would a significantly less amount of firearms in our hands, and I think that is for the best. Without a firearm, I think criminals would have a harder time committing crimes like theft, murder, or rape. Most all serious crimes include a lethal weapon, almost always being a gun. If these criminals could not get their hands…
Many people think we need gun control and more gun laws. According to the second amendment it is our right, to keep and bear arms. There is a large number of guns in the United States. There is an idea that the government wants to take our guns away completely. Would that even work?…
