Gun politics in the United States

Shall not be infringed “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” (“The Bill of Rights: A Transcription”); this is a quote from the bill of rights that explains the right of all US citizens to own firearms. There is a reason that the bill of rights was created, and to talk about stripping anyone of something listed in the bill of rights is ridiculous. Should the government also do away with…

bought a gun and left it out on the porch and it did not kill anyone. The man was angry and thought he had the laziest gun in the world. It was barely a short story, really, it was just a few lines, yet every now and again I think myself thinking about it. I remember in the comments people referred to this story as stupid and how it did not make sense. The reason this story stuck with me is because it made a point that guns do not actually kill people, people kill people. Of course, guns do…

Some opponents of tougher gun control legislation say that criminal activity is very likely to occur when there is no force of protection present between a criminal and a defenseless target. Criminals will prefer to commit their diabolical acts in highly populated “gun free” zones, where citizens are not armed and are subjected to the villain’s will. According to John Lott Jr., former chief economist for the U.S. Sentencing Commission, every mass shooting since 1977, other than the 2011 Tucson…

certain weapons should not be given to the public, due to how incredibly dangerous and deadly they are. I feel that the it, the Second Amendment, is under threat, somewhat, due to the amount of unnecessary fear mongering and lunacy that is put against guns. It only leads to fiery, bipartisan debates which are, in my opinion, laughable. 2. I…

most controversial issues in today’s politics is gun laws and just how far the government can go with them. Despite what many democrats think increasing laws and bans don’t prevent firearm murders and limit the freedoms of the citizens.

The most obvious reason for limiting gun laws or is that it is our…

Kruschke in his book Gun Control: A Reference Handbook. The policies that Plato once respected are much like policies that are in place and are being considered around the world today. Gun control is a major issue throughout the world, and is a controversial topic within many countries. Gun control is defined as…

to Bear Arms The United States has 270 million guns, the most in the world, consequently, this brings the question of gun control and the Second Amendment.( Should More Gun Control Be Enacted ). The Second Amendment protects the right to individual gun ownership, banning the ownership of assault weapons would be unconstitutional.

Gun Control: The Big Issue Today One of the biggest issues in the United States today is the issue of gun control. It seems almost every day there is a new reason to look over the gun regulations that are currently set in place. Are the regulations enough or are they becoming too much? Since the late 20th century, gun control has become one of the biggest issues in the U.S. Pro-gun control advocates and anti-gun control advocates constantly fight the battle, now more than ever, over the…

These studies that mental illness is also a reason to mass shootings, and that psychiatric diagnoses can predict gun crimes before they are even committed. Gun laws must be heavily reorganized, and in regards to the Second Amendment there must be changes while keeping the modern world in context.
