The Issue of Gun Control Gun Control is a problem because there is a lack of education amongst the people of this country regarding the safe use of guns and the role they play in our world today. In an article released by USA Today titled “Steps to Stricter Gun Control” it is assessed that, “Nothing will prevent another mass shooting like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The issue is lack of education...” From this quote, it can be suggested that with more insight regarding guns, gun…

Our country was built on the ideas life,liberty, and property. To achieve these ideals the Founding Fathers of our country devised a constitution with a Bill of Rights. All of these rights have led to a safer and brighter future for America. However, one of the most argued and most controversial of these Amendments is the Second Amendment, and it simply shouldn’t be. Guns bring a balance and a sense of safety when used in the right hands. Imagine this you pull up to your house one day and your…

Firing at Gun Control The 2nd Amendment of the constitution protects the right to bear arms for purposes that include self-defense. But so far over the years, that right has been under attack by our own government. Is seems as though every time you turn on the news, you hear that a man was shot in cold blood, or a man went on a killing spree.

Charles Heston was the president of the National Rifles Association which is a pro-gun organization in America. Moore’s interview further demonstrates the satire tone used in the film to ridicule the president of the NRA to enforce Moore’s message of encouraging Americans to reduce the use of guns…

is dangerous and illogical. Through several examples and through his own reasoning, McMahan hopes to convince the reader that the only way forward on the topic of ‘guns’ in the United States is to completely ban civilians from owning traditional firearms, from the ground up. Through my counter-argument, I intend to show that while McMahan’s argument is versed well on intent, it is mostly normative,…

This essay will explain Richards view and arguments regarding the legal restrictions/prohibitions of pornography, explain and analyze the Miller test, and finally conclude by evaluating Richards’ arguments. Millian liberalism would not allow the prohibition of pornography because it falls within the scope of private not public morality. The state must allow individuals the maximum ability to live within their own rights and pornography is not the law’s business when it is produced or involves…

The common misconception is that if the average person was told to harm someone, they would disobey. The majority of people claim that when asked if they would unlawfully kill someone because they were ordered to, they wouldn’t do it.
