Second Amendment to the United States Constitution

will still be unsafe, because the police will have less of an upper hand to protect citizens. With criminals, and most of the population processing a gun, the police have no overruling power (weapon) against the vast population with guns. McMahan states, “But while gun control can do a little to restrict access to guns by potential criminals, it can’t do much when guns are to be found in every other household…

because, it is proven that it does not work, the framers of the Constitution could not envision a truly free state with gun control in place, and guns are essential to the safety of all citizens. Gun control does not work. In fact, it is quite the opposite, in a 1997 study done by economist John Lott shows that the increase in concealed carry throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s resulted in lower crime rates across the United States. “Therefore, When economist Steven Levitt conducted a study…

I feel strongly about right to bear arms. I am pro guns and I don’t think they should be banned anytime soon. There are many reasons I believe that we should have the right to bear arms. My first reason is just because it is simply in the Constitution that Americans have the right to bear arms. Another one of those reasons are for personal protection. For example, if someone is breaking into your house and you don’t have anything but a knife to protect yourself with then there is a greater…

One example Russia, the murder rate in Russia is higher than that of the United States. While in the other hand, many nations in Europe which do not have gun laws are placed in the top ten list with the lowest crime rates in the world. Switzerland being the country with the lowest murder rate, has 216 police officers per 100,000…

Many Americans were saddened when JFK was shot in Dallas. Music lovers were shocked to hear about the shooting of John Lennon in New York City. For the hip hop world, however, the shooting of Tupac Shakur is probably one of the saddest, and most controversial shootings of a famous person in recent history. Tupac was shot in Las Vegas on September 7th, 1996. At this time, many eyes were on the city of Las Vegas. Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon were fighting in one of the biggest boxing matches…

federal district court in Washington and later on at the D.C. Circuit for Douglas Ginsburg. Apparently, Levy was older than the judges he worked for as a law clerk. Levy incorporate the same business ethics to law. He had key interest in the Second Amendment that confer an individual to bear arms which at that time got a lot of attention even though he was not a owner of a gun. Although the federal government was going to advocate the individual rights in all legal action,…

the constitution for their arguments of why gun control would have a negative impact on society. It's quite baffling that even the majority of NRA members support reasonable, common-sense gun regulations and yet we still can't seem to get appropriate laws passed. Is the NRA not listening to its own members? First of all, if the second amendment of the constitution was revised, it wouldn't be the first time that the constitution was changed. So what is the big deal? Secondly, the constitution was…

What being an American means to me is having that second amendment right to bear arms. Why does this amendment represent American to me? Because some other countries don't allow citizens to have guns or they have many gun regulations. I also like that we can carry guns on us with a CCW (concealed carry weapons) and you can do it legally. I am anticipating that the government will try to put more regulations on gun usage but they shouldn't. This is useful for defending your home So you don't…

Imagine this… a lady is sitting in a chair, just working at home. Then she hears the door creak open, so she looks up with the eye of an eagle. While doing this, searches for any unusual movement. She sees nothing, so she just thinks it’s the wind and goes back to work. All of a sudden, she sees a man in her line of vision. A man who stands 6’3” tall and 250 pounds. He is faceless, wearing a black mask that is the color of midnight. The man doesn’t notice the woman so he continues on with what…

David Lazarus, of Los Angeles Times, argues for more gun regulations in response to the Las Vegas shooting by quoting reliable sources, asking forwarding questions, and focusing on other industries. Quoting provides decent evidence by giving direct support to the argument from other sources. Rhetorical questions work as an effective forwarding strategy, acting as transitions between one aspect of the argument and the next. Overall, Lazarus's argument was fairly effective, but focusing on…
