Gun politics

restrictions on how, when or where guns are allowed. There are two reasons why there should be fewer guns around and restrictions on purchases: to minimize violence and the second amendment refers to an armed citizen militia, not individual gun ownership. Yet despite these reasons, there are people that are for no restrictions on guns and believe that gun control laws are useless. The use of guns should be minimize so we can minimize the violence. In the article, “We Need Gun Control to Stop…

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…

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. The regulation of firearms is a tough subject to push, as there is a community that exists in America that firmly believes in the right to bear arms, which delays any political progress happening on the…

talked about Paddocks personal life and how they found nothing that would give him a motive to kill all these people. Most people that talked about him said good things about Paddock. The article also focused on where Paddock obtained the guns. The majority of the guns he bought came from Arizona but some from Nevada. The article then focused…

In today’s world, it’s hard not to take a side when it comes to politics. When it comes to 5 personally selected political issues, I have made up my mind on all. First, for gun control, I think that it’s irresponsible for normal citizens to have assault rifles and semi-automatics. I believe that we all have the right to own a gun, but serious precautions, such as limits of what guns can be bought and the narrowness of who can buy a gun, should be put into place. The second issue is the death…

society can be connected to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. One of the more commonly brought up issues deals with guns. In the Declaration, this is the right to bear arms, while in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, it is known as the Second Amendment. In the past, this ability to own a gun was given to the people because colonists and founders wanted others to have a weapon to protect themselves in case the government became repressive.…

had a gun control problem. Every week now it seems like there’s another school shooting or another person on a shooting rampage. Then after it is over the same debate comes up every time. The debate on controlling guns and making sure they do not get into the wrong hands. Once, after a few weeks go by and what happened is out of people’s minds, momentum for controlling guns gets lost as time goes on. It dies down and people are not thinking about it until the next one occurs. Controlling guns,…

who does not think the government should be so controlled by the NRA along with the thought that weapons should be maintained better than the NRA is doing so. This cartoon portrays the government speaking about the tragedy while the NRA is holding a gun to its head. The…

Of the above mentioned arguments, I find the law breaker paradox the strongest argument to diffuse the impulsion that gun control laws are futile. When you hear, “only law abiding citizens follow the law”, your initial response is to agree with that statement, but it isn’t until you reflect on this statement that you come to realize that this argument is barren of reason and offers nothing in regards to the strategy to decrease the number of deaths due to firearm use. If we have this mentality…
