Events like the 1989 shooting in Stockton, California where five children were killed on an elementary school playground, or the 1999…

The third and final reason why guns should be allowed in public areas is people cannot always rely on police officers, or individuals who are trained and certified to handle a gun, for protection. On the contrary, many people dispute, according to Scientificamerican.com, that public safety should be left to professional, qualified police officers, not ignorant citizens with little to no expert training. Nevertheless, a police officer is not always there to protect citizens from incidents. In…

says Paul Waldman of The Week. What injured and killed them, you may ask? Guns. Most of them accidental. My topic is gun control. I think that there should be procedures you must take before being able to get a gun. Way too many people die each year from gun related injuries - and nobody is doing anything about it! If terrorists were the ones who were killing 30,000 people a year, just imagine all the restrictions and gun laws we would have. Instead, we are just letting more and more people get…

Although Obama’s intentions may be pure, the gun laws that he and his administration have gotten enacted fail to consider the long term effect that they will have. These laws are created on the faulty premise that the amount of gun crimes and gun violence can be drastically decreased by restricting legally obtained firearms. The fallacy of this premise can be easily established by looking at California which has the strictest gun laws in the country and is still home to one of the U.S.’s top 5…

Gun Laws and Regulations Regulations and Gun rights for college campuses is something that has many people questioning the laws. The legislative passing a law allowing college employees and students to carry guns is not the greatest idea. All college students shouldn’t be allowed to carry hand guns. The law should remain as keeping concealed licenses then traversing into open-carry license. There’s a great debate on rather teachers should have the right to be armed which in my opinion could…

protects gun manufacturers and dealers from being held accountable for the crimes committed with the use of their sold products. In 2005, the act was signed into law by President George W. Bush. The policy was designed to provide the corporate gun industry protections from the law and public blaming them for gun crimes.
