Gun laws in the United States

The Second Amendment to the U.S Constitution states: “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”.There have been plenty of debates on trying to ban all guns in the U.S. There are thousands of laws and regulations in the country that attempt to contain and regulate the use of firearms.

Guns have been around for almost 700 years. Most people use guns for hunting to supply their family with food, to protect themselves, and for many other reasons. The government is freaking out now days because the United states has had a few incidents with gun violence. A few examples would be when there was the movie theater shooting in 2011. Also the many school shootings that have happened in the past few years. So because of these events the government wants to basically take that away from…

It 's probably hard to know which one since it happens almost every day. It has become common news to hear that someone has been shot and killed.

Gun Control In recent years, many mass shootings have occurred around the United States. These mass shootings have brought up many debates on gun control, or laws that regulate buying, selling, and other things dealing with guns. These debates have three sides to the argument: wanting gun control, wanting no gun control at all, or wanting some gun control but not completely all of the deals that go along with it. Gun control needs stronger restrictions but does not need to go to such extremes…

In recent times, Columbine, Fort Hood, Aurora, Newtown, and Charleston have become the epicenter of gun-related violence in the United States.

Gun control policies are a debatable topic within the United States. Over half of the homicide deaths each year are gun related, and mass shootings are becoming frighteningly frequent. Lawmakers currently debate over making restrictive gun control laws that will intensify the requirements to become a legal gun owner with hopes of preventing the thousands of deaths caused by shootings each year.

It is hard to talk about gun rights without first understanding our Second Amendment. “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right to bear arms, shall not be infringed.” (Bowman, Jeffrey Newton, Heather, 2015) The Founding Fathers while deciding on how their government should run had one major concern.

Gun Control in the United States has been a huge issue lately. School shootings and gun violence all over the country adds fuel to the fire of those who want to restrict guns from citizens. In the words of George Washington “When firearms go, all goes - we need them every hour.” The right to have guns in our homes today is important.

Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People Throughout United States history there has been a constant debate on gun control. Should guns be banned even though it is one of our civil rights infringed upon us by our founding fathers or to ban it because of the events that have transpired in modern time?
