Based off of Nathaniel’s inability to understand behavior control he should…

It seems as if the National Rifle Society’s (NRA) focuses more on the rights of gun owners and not the safety of citizens. However, the information gathered through my research has proven that there is really no specific way to successfully control guns. Those with the intent to commit…

The Second Amendment is one of the most controversial topics today in the United States. The reason it is so important is because it affects every person in the country. A lot of people feel the amendment should be banished to avoid conflict. On the other hand, others feel the amendment is crucial to our country, helping protect from conflict. I feel strongly that the Second Amendment is someone’s constitutional right, but should be thought of more as a privilege and should not be abused. With…

Shooting holes in the Gun Rights Movement “Your dead kids don’t trump my constitutional rights” Since the United States of America declared its independence on July 4, 1776, guns have been an integral part of American identity. They have represented both a direct check on a possible tyrannical government and a symbol of what being American means. But if we examine the history of the 2nd Amendment and guns from a deeper perspective, we see why it’s such a controversial issue. Guns, especially…

New Jersey allows all types of guns while New York allows handguns only (Thomas). Naturally, handguns—mainly pistols—are the most commonly used guns in the US followed by rifles and shotguns (“America’s favorite guns” ). The Democratic party supports these laws to keep America safe without…

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 bare arms shall not be fringed" Most people in this case use the last few words and say that you have the right to bare arms.

When it comes to interests, one of the things that get the most focus in the United States is guns. Since the creation of the Second Amendment (included in the constitution during the Revolutionary Era with intentions of keeping the nation safe from colonist invaders) there has been a lot of debate surrounding the matter of gun ownership and if it should be regulated or not. Founded in 1871, one of the biggest interest groups in the United States, the NRA, has been the number one defender of gun…

breakthrough since 1994 when President Bill Clinton obtained support for an assault weapons ban (that the Republican Congress failed to renew in 2004).

The organization 's overall revenue, which includes membership dues, program fees, and other contributions, has boomed in recent years – rising…

but Americans cannot seem to. Some of the main points that I received from the film Bowling for Columbine are that guns are not the root to the problem, a major part of the problem is what the media portrays in the United States, and the National Rifle Association (NRA) is a total joke. There are ways the United States could solve this increasing problem of violence. The United States government needs to make it essential on figuring out how to lower the amount of gun related crimes. The task of…

against crimes and assaults, and to avoid children abduction. One of the prevalent reasons that American opted to free own gun is having safer houses. More than 73% of the burglary in 2012 was in residences (2). It is mentioned by NRA (National Rifle Association) “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” (1).
