2Nd Amendment Essay

The 2nd amendment is a very popular topic in today’s society and most have posted about the 2nd amendment. In my opinion and interpretation of the amendment it is pretty cut and dry. The founding fathers deemed it necessary to afford law abiding citizens the right to bear arms. As a citizen of this country it is my privilege, yes I said “privilege” not right to bear arms. I should be able to buy any weapon of my choosing whether it be for home defense, the defense of my family or for recreational use. Where it becomes unclear to some is how does the militia tie into. I honestly have no idea how a militia is even in the same sentence. The government has stated on numerous occasions we need stricter gun laws and ban the use or purchase of assault rifles. I do, however agree that the gun laws need to be stricter on who can buy and where. All background checks should be completed according to the federal governments guidelines. I am a law abiding citizen and because some people feel guns are the problem and not the actually user of the weapon they want to take my right to bear arms. Some believe that you do not belong to a militia so you do not have the right to bear arms strictly opinion and…

REPEAL Upon researching more about the 2nd Amendment I have formed an opinion as to whether it should be amended or repealed. I have decided that the 2nd Amendment should be amended. The problem that America is having is that people are misusing guns. It seems easy to understand that we should create laws and rules on what a person has the right to carry, own, and use. But it should be mandatory and made priority to keep track of the purchasing of the intense powered weapons that have been made…

The Constitution: Suppression of the 2nd Amendment “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 infringed.” This is the 2nd amendment, and it is under attack.

I hold the 2nd amendment true, but have realized that something needs to be done to counteract all of the gun violence in America. According to the Gun Violence Archive, around 13,286 people were killed by firearms in 2015. This is 13,286 to many, we need to implement a new law to stop people who have bad intentions when using firearms. America should make it mandatory for any person who buys a firearm, weather long barrel or short barrel to qualify with their weapon. After qualifying they have…

start out talking about our 2nd amendment, the right to bear arms. In today’s society you might as well bite your tongue, we have our people who believe they should be ripped away and others who say that everyone should own a gun. But what would Andrew do? Personally I believe Andrew would have wanted to keep guns, 1 reason being that he killed Charles Dickinson in a duel. These 2 relentlessly hated each other but this event had sparked after a horse derby, Dickinson stated that Jackson had lied…

Constitution is derived from the traditions of England where in medieval times it was considered an obligation to bear arms. Later on this requirement was altered and became a right of the citizens. Both King James II and King George III attempted to disarm the Protestant English citizens and the colonists respectively, but to no avail. This is because everyone has the God-given right to self-defense. However, some critics dispute the wording of the Second Amendment and protest that the true…

In addition to radically enhancing formerly stagnant economies, expansion and trade paved the way for political upheaval, global interaction and cultural restructuring. Although not articulated until much later, European countries ascertained land and resources in order to fulfill what Jules…

Throughout mankind’s history, humans have always seemed to have a barter system in place for all of their trades. From trading trinkets for food to the modern day practice of trading money for goods, capitalism has grown and flourished not only in America, but in many countries around the world. From the simple shopkeeper of the community general store of the past all the way to the CEO of the modern day retail giant, the retail trade has become a part of our everyday lives. There is not a day…
