Concealed carry in the United States

flawed to me. There are many arguments leaning towards gun control. The first argument that is presented involves the statistics of gun related deaths in the United States. The United States ranked in at number one, among twenty five nations, when it came to gun related deaths. The countries which were compared to the United States had stricter gun control laws that helped keep down the deaths related to guns. Another argument that anti-gun activists use examines firearms or guns in the…

what it protects? What about state specific laws? Are rights are being threatened today, will we still have the right that our for fathers wrote into the bill of rights? This is to inform you of your rights, that without guns available to the average person gun deaths will increase or stay the same , and the fact and fiction of gun violence. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution reads, "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to…

Schools Introduction to the Issue Around the United States, the safety of students in the public school system is becoming unsure. School shootings are occurring at an alarmingly rising rate, and each day, the lives of students are further at risk. After recent incidents, school districts were faced with one question concerning the safety of school-goers: How can school shootings be prevented? This question posed a solution of using a concealed-carry method and arming school faculty. Putting…

Crime is widely viewed as a major issue for every society, government always tried to find solution in order to reduce the crime and violent rates. That is why gun control law and gun ownership has been argued intensively. However there has been a question, did gun control law reduce crime rate?

Gun control is a very big topic in the United States. Many people are for gun control and many people are against it. The government monitors the guns sold in the United States and people believe that they shouldn’t. I am in the neutral position on this topic. Citizens of the United States have the right to carry a weapon on them. People already own licenses to carry weapons out in public, or a concealed weapon license. The main reason why I think the government shouldn’t control the weapons in…

Compared 32 states and their homicide rates, 18 states already had laws in effect that were similar to the Brady Act and both groups of states showed similar trends in homicide rates (no significant difference between the 18 states that had previous laws similar to Brady vs. the other 14 states that did not have such laws previously) (Mantel 240). There is also a ton of concealed firearms laws. There has been three times as many gun laws passed in 2009 as antigun measures. 40 states legally…

ineffective because gun ownership reduces crime, gun control laws go against the 2nd amendment, and guns create a safer society. First of all, gun ownership decreases crime rates. According to the author, “In a research study sponsored by the United States Department of Justice, James Wright and Peter Rossi interviewed over 1,800 incarcerated felons, asking how they felt about civilians and gun ownership. Nearly 80 percent of felons also claimed that they intentionally…

current federals laws make it nearly impossible for criminals to legally obtain a weapon. Because of this misconception, Americans are still supporting stricter regulations believing many gun-control campaigns about loopholes.

Secondly, NICS instant background checks automatically scans the…

firearms you must first limit the demand through educational programs. One way to do that is through threat and police enforcement. An increased “crackdown” on gun ownership and public carry of firearms has proved successful (Braman). Similar programs can be replicated using the effort of each level of government, local, state, and federal. Using advancements in computer software, law enforcement has been able to map out “Hot Spots” of criminal activity. Technology has been able to prevent…

Introduction Gun rights are often associated with being akin to apple pie in America. Certainly, it seems like it when there are potentially 300 million civilian guns in the United States, or about one for every five persons (Birnhaum, 2013), and when gun proponents vehemently remind others of their Second Amendment rights. However, when school shootings occur and precious lives are lost, the masses start to seek answers and demand action. One particularly alarming proposal calls for the…
