This case would bring up the topic of what is exactly being protected under this amendment to begin with. Justice…

Do We Blame the Gun or the Person Behind It? When a parent sends their child to school, they trust in the district to insure their safety. Wouldn’t it be a relief to know that the school your child attends every day was ready for whatever came their way? According to New York Times writer Kim Severson, The number of schools who allow their teachers to carry guns as a use of protection is at a continuous rise, and almost impossible to figure out the exact number. The use of guns in schools is…

Arguments against more gun control I read an article from the Economist (2016) website reporting that Texas has just implemented public open carry law this past January 2016 as Texas solution for gun violence. I think the rational is to equip law-abiding citizens similar to neighborhood crime watch prevention. They believe in more power to the people than to the government. My analysis from the Economist (2016) web article is that profit and non-profit establishments are having difficulties…

Understanding this we should always be aware and we should not let gun pacifists take control. Citizens that are afraid of guns do not realize that even if we get rid of them bad people will get hold of them. That is a pretty good reason why we should be able to carry guns with a concealed weapon carrying license. Let’s face blatant facts, we need protection and who better than ourselves could provide it better than we…

The push for stricter gun control, whether it be gun bans, ammunition bans, background check reforms, or the reformation of laws pertaining to firearms, is something that has been growing over the past decade. The many acts of violence committed using firearms has led many people to believe that these actions will prove beneficial to America. Many American citizens and politicians possess the “less guns equals less violence” line of thought. As simple and straight an answer this may sound, it is…

that allow appropriately licensed students and faculty to carry a handgun on campus as long as the gun is hidden from sight. Several states, including Texas, have passed a bill allowing campus carry; as a result, polarizing debates have ensued over the effectiveness of the law, or more specifically, whether campus carry is truly effective in decreasing gun violence on campus. In the article “How Guns Could Censor College Classrooms” the author, Firmin DeBrabander, argues against the law allowing…

allowed to carry a gun in a concealed manner such as in a holster that goes on the inner-waist band of the wearer’s bottoms. I believe that eliminating the permit process is not beneficial to the society as a whole and that the removing permits takes…

Self - protection and gun control are still a big topic of discussion. There are those who are against self-protection and want strict laws set for gun usage and there are others who don’t want to have strict restrictions for guns and who are for self-protection or their rights to bear arms. Without researching the topic, I would believe it could be beneficial to carry a concealed weapon around in case someone was in trouble. I could also see it being a terrible mistake if it got into the wrong…

was one of the many who lost a child in the Sandy Hook massacre. It claimed 26 innocent lives, lives that could've been saved. It has become clear that in order to minimize gun violence in America, change must occur. Murders like these have families and advocates demanding modification of the 2nd Amendment and banning of guns altogether. This is not the right course of action for…
