Gun laws in the United States

occurred in the United States within the past eight years. Since all of these major shootings, everyone is asking the same question: Should more gun laws be added to the Constitution? I believe that the answer is no. In fact, my opinion is the more gun laws we added would not stop people who are determined for whatever reason to go on a killing spree. I think more gun laws or…

Guns have been a way of life in this country for hundreds of years. They have been used from hunting, to self-protection, and to protection of the citizen rights of this country. With the recent mass shootings that has been seen in the United States, there has been an increased push for gun control laws. The thought is, if the country places a ban guns, there will be less shootings, resulting in needless deaths of our citizens. Is there a correlation between guns and the number of homicides?…

Your Ground Law I’ve always been interested in as to why the Stand Your Ground law hasn’t been implemented in each state of the country. There have been many incidents that have questioned the limits of the law. There have also been arguments as to why the law should be kept or abolished, which is my reasoning for choosing this topic. I’m looking to seek more information as to why the law could be useful to society and how it could also be dangerous as well. The Stand Your Ground law was…

common laws that are used in order to maintain gun control in the United States are registration. The licensing of guns and weapons of gun dealers, background checks should be done before sales of a weapon or gun to any person, guns, and firearms should not be sold to persons younger than 18 and some areas are restricted areas whereby one cannot go with a weapon or a firearm.

society. Now, if you suddenly think of the guns or firearms, you will certainly think of two countries. One the United States and anther one China. Guns are a kind of sword, it could make a country more powerful, but guns are also dangerous. Thus, we should use the laws to limit, to manage the person who has a gun. Compare with this two county, you will see in China, people cannot have a gun except the army. In the United States every have the power to have a gun. These two countries are kind…

average, 306 people will die today from gun violence. (Every Town Research) Explanations for the cause of these tragic events might cause some to wonder why so many guns always end up in the hands of the wrong people. The truth behind this question is that America is too lenient in its gun control laws and regulations. Only 13 states require a background check to be performed no matter how a gun is sold or what kind of gun it is. In result of this, 40% of guns sold in the U.S are sold with “no…

killed by the use of guns, whileen in 1995 the number of homicides was 21,606. That is a drop of about 5 percent. The reason for this drop is because of the new gun control laws that are being put into effect. This trend must be able to continue. There must be stricter gun control laws in the United States because of recent school shootings, the amount of gun-related deaths, and the mentally ill getting easy access to these weapons. There are many more incidences where guns are used to harm…

In his first State of the Union address, President George Washington stated, “a free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined.” This assertion was in a section of his speech which was dedicated purely to advocating for the right of the American citizens to own firearms. It can be inferred that Washington believed that gun control itself was not the problem, but rather how people used or viewed guns. Many of the founding fathers of the United States such as Noah Webster, George Mason,…

Gun control has been a big controversial topic for ages. With an increase in violence and the selling of guns reaching a high many people believe that the government should restrict the sale of guns to help prevent tragic events from happening. However, many others believe that the government should not restrict the sale and possession of guns as it would violate rights and not only increase violence, but prevent citizens from defending themselves if ever faced with a violent occurrence. Due to…

people die of gun violence, according to EverytownResearch.org. There are over 12,000 gun murders in an average year in the United States. Also, a black man is 10 times more likely to be shot with a gun than a white man (“Gun Violence”). But what does race, age, or ethnicity have anything to do with murders with a firearm? For a person to better understand gun control, they would have to look at what gun control is, what are the causes of gun violence, people who agree to have gun control,…
