Right to keep and bear arms

availability and gun crime in the U.S. where categorized by concerns about the right to bear arms. This is found in the Second Amendment to the U.S Constitution (adopted by the USA in 1791 as gun crime began to augment) and includes the responsibility of the government to serve the needs of its citizens and to prevent crime and deaths caused by firearms. Gun control supporters say there are broad, unrestricted and careless gun rights, which inhibit the government from fulfilling this…

to be a continual push for stricter gun control and regulation, it is evident that shootings will inevitably occur, regardless of gun regulation. Law-abiding citizens are not the ones who should have to bear the brunt of strict gun regulation. The Second Amendment right is under attack; a right many would argue is the cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. Stricter gun regulations by the U.S. Government, and the attempt to ban guns in general will not prevent shootings from occurring since…

The Danger of the American Government “The greatest danger to American freedom is a government that ignores the Constitution.” That quote is from Thomas Jefferson. It is that quote on which this paper is based. Our government today is very quickly forgetting the Constitution is what this country is built upon. What with violation of privacy “dealing” with terrorism, banning firearms becoming an actual ideal, and censoring things deemed inappropriate such as violent video games or making media…

Gun Control Our second amendment right 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”. This amendment means that any person in the United States has the right to own a gun. But, at what point does this right not stand true for a person? I feel that our right to be able to bear arms is a part of our individual rights and should not be taken from us. Guns have been around for centuries. In…

People Kill People- Guns Make It Easier I will always remember the first time I pulled a trigger. I was 10 years old when my dad took my sister and I to a gun range. Just knowing that I would get the chance to hold a gun made me feel grown. Shooting at the targets with the rifle, or just shooting aimlessly, was probably the most nerve-wrecking and exhilarating experience I had as a kid. Since I was young, I didn’t fully understand the power or danger of a gun. To me, guns were just…

them, it will not prevent them from being captivated by them. Since they were young, they played games involving weapons, guns, war etc. Sometimes, they do not see the difference between a toy and a real firearm. It is the parents’ responsibility to keep guns out of the hands of their…

Chicago, a landmark gun rights case which was decided by the Supreme Court in 2010. This case is based on a 1982 Chicago law which banned handguns in the city. The purpose of this law was to reduce the amount of violent crime in Chicago by outlawing one of the types of firearms most commonly used for violent crimes. However, Otis McDonald, a 76-year-old resident of Chicago, disagreed with this law and believed it violated his constitutional Second Amendment right to bear arms. So, he found legal…

when they attempt to use an alternate weapon. This could ultimately eliminate a high percentage of homicides per year. These reasonings prove that taking away guns can and will decrease the homicide rate throughout the nation. This is a step in the right direction in making this country a better place. Citizens…

Is gun control really helping the U.S.? For many years, gun control has been a debatable topic. Many say that gun control reduces fewer murder crimes that are committed. Studies have proven that in an area with more gun control laws, more crimes are likely to occur. One reason that gun control isn't really helping is that more crimes are being committed. This problem will not be solved by taking the guns away from people. No matter how hard we try to ban guns from criminals, they still find a…

I hold the 2nd amendment true, but have realized that something needs to be done to counteract all of the gun violence in America. According to the Gun Violence Archive, around 13,286 people were killed by firearms in 2015. This is 13,286 to many, we need to implement a new law to stop people who have bad intentions when using firearms. America should make it mandatory for any person who buys a firearm, weather long barrel or short barrel to qualify with their weapon. After qualifying they have…
