The shooter of New Town stole his Mother’s firearms after he killed her. His mother legally owned them. He stole them. Lanza used a AR15 with thirty round magazines. This proves my thesis because the guns were stolen. The son did not go through the system, because he had mental health issues. In this article I could use how Mantel talks about the types of firearms, semi-automatic, automatic, and assault weapons. For my second reason in my research opinion I can use…

amount of time completely banned. These laws stayed in order until the National socialist party came into power with Hitler as their leader and enforced the new “Nazi” gun control reforms in 1938.

Through comparing the purpose, discussing the…

it.” We should not ban with bump stock or any semi-automatic rifles to keep our country safe. In the article, the author explains that the bump stock was not intended to be a tool to shoot fast at humans. This is obvious as there are no weapon companies that want to aid in shootings. Since 1930, a US citizen is not allowed to purchase a fully automatic weapon. However, according the article, “bump-fire stocks didn't exist when the National Firearms Act was enacted in 1934 or when the law was…

Crime and firearms, to many, may appear to go hand in hand. But can they both be linked together? Do firearms always lead to crime? If so, do “gun control” laws on firearm ownership and use protect citizens or stop crime? This question is the basis for the gun control debate amongst liberals and conservatives that has been going on for decades. Gun control can even stem back as far as 1837 when Georgia passed a law stating that handguns were illegal but this law was ruled unconstitutional and…

That is why we negate the resolution that teachers should have the right to conceal and carry firearms on school grounds. For my first point, I assert that guns in school take away from the learning environment in which a school setting should promote. Sub point one, a student will arrive at school every day with…

Immediately after being ratified, changes to the Constitution were made. The 1st amendment assured the people that their most basic rights could not be taken. The 2nd amendment guaranteed that the people would be able to own and keep their firearms.
