Gun politics in the United States

What are good ways to improve gun violence? The political and social debate over the question of how much gun control is appropriate has been an extremely polarized one for several decades. The term gun control as it is used in the United States refers to any action taken my the federal government or by the state or local governments to regulate, through legislation, the sale, purchase, safety, and use of handguns and other types of firearms by individual citizens. Discussions on the topic…

our own opinion. We all are entitled in our own opinion that’s why i feel strongly for guns and the use of guns as we the people of the United states have the right to bear arms , to help prevent crimes and for our own protection. As Americans of the united states we are giving the right to bear arms because of the 2 Amendment allows us to. “ 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.” (…

On today’s Mythbusters episode they were testing if a bug were to hit you at high speeds on a motorcycle could it kill you before you even hit the ground. The cast members that were on this experiment were Tory Belleci, Grant Imahara, and Jessi Combs. They first started by going to see a physician Dr. Billy Trolan to ask if there was any way or pressure points on the body where an insect could hit and actually killed you before you hit the ground. They were then shown a chart and it showed them…

Later in the video you can see Officer One remove a gun from Sterling’s right pocket. The only logical conclusion is that Sterling was reaching for his gun. If somebody has two police officers pointing guns at them, while telling them not to move after discovering their gun, and the person then reaches towards their gun, then it’s really obvious that they are trying to get to their gun. We have clear evidence here that Sterling was going for a gun at the time he was shot. You may have also…

Others believe that this right only extends to a collective right, in that each State has the right to have an armed militia, in order to protect its sovereignty. But, for Justice Stevens the real argument is not whether or not these rights trickle down to the individual, but the scope of what these rights cover. As noted in 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller, where Dick Heller believed that the District of Columbia gun control laws violated his Second Amendment. The majority did agree…

People argue and the one that everyone argue about is guns why we should have them and shouldn’t. I’m going to talk about why we should have them and there's many ways why we should and shouldn’t and we should have guns. I don’t see why people would hate guns so much but I know some reasons why they don't like guns but if they read this they might and might not like guns even though guns are good. Lots of people use guns legally, and safely, but some don’t. More of us need to be more careful…

Would it seem ridiculous if a child was given a gun and uniform and told that they were allowed to go out and fight in a war? Well, in today's world, there are many child soldiers fighting all over the world. Child soldiers are children who become soldiers for a variety of reasons. The most common of these reasons are because they are, sold, captured, or in poverty so they have no choice but to join the military for shelter and food. Once a child soldier has joined they often commit serious war…

Should guns be allowed in colleges if the student has a concealed carry license? Why? Do you believe it’s good for students to have guns? The Rolling Stones did a report on this and the young reporter Ben Wofford. Wofford does not point out that, in reality, Texas legislators—like most employees of the State of Texas—are required by law to allow the licensed carry of handguns in their offices (in fact, unlike professors, legislators are required to allow both concealed and open carry in their…

Square for an early Valentine date. Keith then heard a sudden sound of gunfire nearby; However, Hammond had a concealed carried weapon. He draws his weapon and attempts to cease the shooter. If it weren't for his gun, many lives could have been lost. Many countries have tried to pass gun laws and Australia is one of them. In 1996 Australia spent over 500 million dollars to confiscate and destroy 640,000 firearms. Through the process of the ban a rise…

I completely agree with your opinions about Hochswender’s essay. When you state that ethos appeal was found in “I drive a large, four-wheel-drive vehicle. Does that mean I’m a bad person?” It is pretty sad that people think individuals are bad if they eat different things or do tasks differently than another individual. The slightest task that an individual does differently than other people will cause that individual to be judged, which is not right at all. People should just worry about…
