Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

If passed, Proposition 63 would conduct precise background checks on those who purchase ammunition as well as outlaw large-capacity magazines and in order to purchase ammunition and a firearm, a permit is required. The California Democratic Party is supporting proposition 63 heavily. Their main arguments are that the proposition would keep guns and ammunition out of the wrong hands by closing loopholes in existing laws. It would also protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to own guns…

Americans to be Gun Crazy? When certain situations happen that make us really angry, not a great deal of people’s first reaction is to reach for a gun; but Doug Firby states “there are countries, though, where some angry people do crazy things like that, and one of them happens to be our troubled neighbour to the south - the United States” (Firby, 2012). It isn’t news to anyone that Americans are gun crazy. We all live in the “age of rage” but why is it that Americans tend to be killers while…

Should Congress support universal background checks on gun purchases? Over the past decade gun violence and gun abuse has increased very effectively has become more of a problem today. The 2nd Amendment says we have the right to bear arms but doesnt say anything about background checks. No one ever explained how background checks work for certain things such as jobs and buying stuff. There has been many events that happened recent and many happened a month after each other. There would be less…

President Obama, voice their concerns over gun registration and call for tighter gun control. They argue that the current gun regulation is responsible for many recent cases of extreme violence. On the other hand, people who are in favour of the Second Amendment believe that regular citizens should be allowed to own weapons to better defend themselves. After carefully considering both sides, gun control regulations need to be tightened and the usage of weapons outside of law enforcement should…

The author Froma Harrop has written an essay entitled “Twisted Social Media and Mass Murder” postulating some reasons to be worried about social media. She makes very good observations on the subject, however there are not many solutions contained. However, to generalize the issue as the problem of lonely young men is an oversimplification. Social media is one of those issues that neither our parents nor our founding fathers would have thought of when we were young. The Nation’s Forefathers…

some type of protection and in this case it's the AR-15 Rifle. Some people in the world believe that keeping a firearm should be illegal to prevent crime. People have the constitutional right to AR-15 rifles because of the rights given in the second amendment. People all around the world are working to improve technology, weapons, Vehicles, and etc. The AR-15 is a good example of improvement in weaponry. What separates the AR-15 from other firearms is it’s power and fire rate. Instead of just…

The increasing lack of strong gun control might cause frequent mass shootings. But might frequent mass shootings cause a lack of strong gun-control as well? Yes. Responding to the increase of gun crime, people find themselves wanting to purchase guns for protection. These people may therefore feel that new gun control measures threaten their safety. Try to see it their way, just for a moment. Tinkering around the edges of the rules governing the legal acquisition of firearms can't and won't…

least for the National Rifle Association and the Republicans. He claims that the gun control cause has a specific political problem. He states that gun ownership is a form of expressive individualism no less than the liberties beloved in America, and it makes sense that a culture that rejects erotic limits would reject limits on self-defense as well. Douthat states that some of the killers passed background…

As I stated previously I’m all for your Second Amendment rights. I think you should be able to have guns. It's in our constitution. What I am not for are illogical arguments and lies. There is one argument and one argument in particular for owning a gun. That argument is “I like guns.” Now, I think I can see some faults in that poorly…

situations because the police won't know that the person is trying to help and by taking out a weapon you would just become a target. There is just no evidence on people stopping a shooter and not one of the 62 mass shootings that took place in the United States in the last 30 years was stopped by an armed civilian. Jeffrey Voccola, Assistant Professor of Writing at Kutztown…
