1944638814 Crime and Guns Gun control is a really serious problem that the United States need to do something about. Not long time ago in 2015 a guy named Dylan Roof killed nine African American people with a gun. The second amendment says that the united states constitution reads: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

is nothing new, but that doesn’t stop Dave Barry’s satirical column, “The right to bear clubs,” from smacking down the fairway and into the shortsighted holes that are the general public and the U.S. government at large when regulation of the 2nd amendment steps onto the green. If people can make a gun out of golf clubs, what is the purpose in dismantling that aforementioned right? Through Dave Barry’s use of outlandish imagery and cleverly disguised sarcasm, he sets out to make quite the…

The primary motivation behind the Second Amendment right to bear arms is for protecting one’s family and place of inhabitance. However, it remains unclear as to whether guns are really used for self-defense. Siegal et al. studies the correlation between stranger and nonstranger homicides in an effort to determine if guns are used as a means of self-defense more often than not. These studies concluded, “[o]ver the entire study period, the average proportion of firearm homicides that were…

The issue regarding gun possession has been a controversial topic that has spurred outrage and confusion across the nation for years. The 2nd Amendment reads, “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.” Advocates of gun control argue that the right to bear arms solely applies to our military and police officers, as it is their job to defend us.

claims that they have a right to own those types of firearms. The 2nd amendment, which was written in 1791, has been a point of contention for many years.

The problem is the interpretation of “A…

The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states, “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.” Most people would think that this section was written specifically for Militia, particularly considering the fact that the Nation had successfully revolted against England. In fact the Supreme Court agreed that this section addressed State Militia for most of the Country’s history. That meant…

talk to you about America’s second amendment. The second amendment states, “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.” Although I deeply respect James Madison, who originally wrote the second amendment, many people feel that this amendment should be changed. 17 people were killed on February 14, 2018. They all lost their lives due to the misuse of the second amendment. They all had great lives…

From A Salt Rifle to an Assault Rifle: Our right as able-bodied citizens to own assault weaponry William S. Burroughs declared, "After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it." The Second amendment protects our right as able-bodied citizens to own all firearms (including assault weaponry), and preserves our natural right to defend ourselves. When the term “assault weapon” is used in the media no one really knows what it means, as there is no…

One of the few amendments that our government has determined to be necessary is the 22nd amendment. The 22nd amendment limits the number of terms that a president may serve. This amendment is based on the precedent that George Washington set when he served as our first president, he only served two terms. Every president after him had only served two terms, until Franklin D. Roosevelt, he served three terms and was elected to a fourth term but died one year into office. This amendment was passed…
