Politics of the United States

The tragedies of mass shootings have created a polarizing problem in the United States. Both sides of the issue are vehement in their position, whether they are for or against gun control. Despite what side of the issue someone is on, the problem of gun violence needs to addressed. Every day in the United States people are shot and killed by fire arms; sometimes out of anger, accident, or suicide. In the United States guns are a common culture acceptance, however not all countries share our…

not needed, while innumerable others believe more should be put in place. Not strengthening laws will prolong the acts of violence and fear caused by guns. These highly dangerous objects cause misfortune and hardship amongst families across the United States. Why even use guns, though? They are not essential for self-defense, for there are many other tools that could defend you with a more accurate aim. Also, guns are one of the most key elements to felonies and mortality. More gun control laws…

criminals will still be criminals. For example in the text it states, “...If they somehow manage to take away legal weapons? That would still leave criminals happily armed.” Therefore this states that criminals will still be criminals and would most likely steal the arms to kill. To explain further some massacres were stopped by law abiding citizens using guns properly and these guns were concealed. For example in article three it states, “Potential massacres were also stopped in 1997 at a…

away from the core cause of the Orlando massacre: the injustice of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people of color. It also ignores the historic and ongoing racialization of gun legislation, while realizing a narrative that legitimates state violence by the police…

In 2015 there were at least seven hundred fifty- six children killed by guns in the United States. Gun control laws in today’s society are one of the most popular debates due to the fact that there have been numerous deaths, and the fact that people see both sides of the debate and stand on various sides of the debate. Although people say having gun control laws violates the second amendment and is against their rights it could save lives. Gun control laws should be put into place in the US…

simple, stronger laws regarding the sale of guns (DePrang, 2016). Women are the loudest voice for stronger gun control in the United States, but their voices have not been able to change the minds of U.S. government which is dominated by men. Gun owners also have a loud voice when it comes to gun control, leave it the way it is, but six-in-ten gun owners in the United States are male (62%). Still, about one-in-five women (22%) report that they own a gun. ("How male and female gun owners in…

allowed to have/own/procure a gun. This might seem like common sense, but many people believe otherwise and think everyone should be able to buy a gun. Research shows that states with stricter and more gun control laws have fewer firearm deaths. Why should the government keep gun laws that are obviously harmful to our states? It is appalling that pro-gun politicians who could pass legislations to keep us safer ignore these facts and carry on not helping those being harmed by gun violence…

article and the supporters of weapon control. I feel that due to the black market and the need to guarantee individual safety, stricter firearm control will have next to no effect on vicious wrongdoing in America. Firstly, within the article it states, “ A federal law should be put into place to ban guns.” A proposed elected law to prohibit all weapons would be more successful at incapacitating honest citizens than at incapacitating the lawbreakers who mishandle them. In the event that…

support the NRA because of the contributions they contribute to the party’s pocket book. In fact, in 2016, the NRA contributed 1.1 million dollars to the Republican Party compared to the 10.6 thousand they gave to the Democratic party (Responsive Politics, n.d.). The donations by the NRA to the Republican Party are a significant reason why the Republican Party supports NRA lobbying efforts in Washington. Since the NRA contributes a considerable about of money to the Republican Party, the NRA…

fathers knew government is not supposed to last forever. Superior weapons don’t always win the war. Superior tactics do. In Vietnam, the United States had superior fire power and forces. But the Viet Cong or Charlie used tactics we had never seen or faced before. Guerilla warfare and ambushes kept the U.S. from completely overwhelming them. Eventually the United States pulled out of the Vietnam War and the Viet Cong prevailed. This was unheard of in America’s…
