“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,” The Second Amendment. If the Constitution framers didn’t want U.S. citizens to possess the right to bear arms today, then they wouldn’t have written it into the Constitution back then. Just because of a few unstoppable shootings recently in the news, in which occurred from sick-minded people, doesn’t automatically mean guns should be restricted or…
Gun Control The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Guns are used for recreational activities such as hunting, competition shooting, and target shooting, but are also used for self and home defense, and firearms are used heavily by the government. While dangerous, firearms should not be controlled or banned in the US. Many people say that guns kill people, but the people pulling the trigger are the real issue. Taking guns…
the Second Amendment, American citizens have the right to bear arms and that right should never be violated. Although that is true, gun control is needed because thousands of US citizens are killed every year from the misuse of weapons. The Constitution explicitly has the law written out.

The Second Amendment 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”. The District of Columbia v. Heller ruled that it is an individual’s right to possess a gun for lawful use such as self protection in their home. The National Firearms Act of 1934 mandated that all people who engaged in the business of selling weapons and people who owned weapons such as machine guns, short-barreled…
is no real reason to store more ammo than needed to defend one household or person. That is why the most perfect solution to end the gun control debate is the enactment of bullet control. This enactment would have to be enforced at the state level since each state has varying degrees of crime. The concept of bullet control is very trivial. A legal gun owner who passed the back ground test is qualified to receive a free box of ammunition in order to protect their person at all times. A legal gun…
Although if we as a united people decide that we have the right to do something that is considered taboo by the elite now, we should be able to make it so. The 2nd amendment is a controversial subject recently due to the use of guns for recreational killings of both animals and people. The second amendment states that we have the right to keep and bear arms, however it is so vague in the language that we’ve been relegated…

Increasing gun control will negatively affect normal law abiding citizens. According to many people they think guns should be banned, but that will not work. Gun control affects normal law abiding citizens not only by limiting firearms & ammunition that can be purchased, it takes away our 2nd amendment right, and demotes organizations such as the NRA & Gun owners of America.Without guns we would not be the free country we are today (Pros & Cons : Gun legislation). Having a gun does not make you…
believe the Second Amendment should be completely abolished, others believe there should be no restrictions on guns, whatsoever. There is also an opinion in the middle of these two stances; some think by combining the two opposite beliefs and collaborating their ideas, a fair resolution could be made. In the article “Symposium of Guns in America”, James Lindgren discusses the history behind the Second Amendment and gun control in America. Lindgren declares that he believes in the Second…
