Handgun

Do you believe Guns cause violence? Guns are the leading cause of death among young people in the united states, and are involved in about 460,000 crimes per year. Sandy hook, Pulse night club, or any other mass shooting would not happen if there were stricter gun laws. There needs to be a change and it must happen soon or more people are going to get hurt. I say this not to sound like some peace-making hippy, but because banning guns urgently needs to become an extreme possibility. The…

Do you feel safe leaving your home knowing that anyone you see may have a firearm on them and may not have the right training? This is currently a growing problem in America. Too many people of the age of 18 in Iowa can just walk into a sporting goods store and buy a shotgun or rifle. Do you want people not suited to use a firearm get one that easily? People without the right gun training can be a danger to everyone around them including themselves. No one will be able to tell what they really…

a farce and should be disregarded. The real question is, “Are Guns a necessary evil?” It makes no sense to implement them into school curriculum. In Canada there are strict policies regarding handguns. The constitution in the US blatantly states that people should have the right to bear arms and handguns are more easily accessible. People have to have a special…

Self- defense can be very helpful, but also can be very dangerous. Some people view it as a way for people to kill for the wrong reasons and be able to have an excuse for it.

especially in the wrong hands. Criminals, teenagers, and even regular day people can use guns in the wrong way. Everyday in the United States someone gets injured from a gun by a teenager.

Today my colleague, Delaney, and I are firmly in favor of the resolution that: In the United States, private ownership of handguns ought to be banned. We adamantly believe this because the right for an average person to own a gun is not stated in The Constitution. Additionally, the ban of guns has been proven to result in less violence in other countries, and guns could…
