    Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizen to bear arms is just one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible. -Hubert Humphrey, 1960 My background is probably atypical for a somewhat high-profile supporter of the right to keep and bear arms. I am black and grew up in Manhattan’s East Harlem, far removed from the great American gun culture of rural, white America.

    The shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary sparked a great deal of public awareness and led to an unprecedented debate regarding gun violence. According to the U.S. Secret Service, there is no profile for a school shooter. However, since shootings tend to be planned in advance and oftentimes youth tell others of the plan, a threat assessment approach was recommended. After Sandy Hook, millions of TV viewers were tuned into various politically motivated mass media debates. Media bias in favor of the NRA's view of the Second Amendment (as protecting individual gun ownership) was so pervasive that even many gun-control supporters seemed unaware that the federal high courts never found a gun law to have violated the Second Amendment. While it well known that guns do contribute to the many fears of students today, this behavior in America's neighborhoods cannot be ignored. Impact of gun violence has a devastating and long lasting effect on community. As victims and families recover, basic research continues in search of answers. Motivation for shootings is hard to pin down, however gender is the single most obvious variable when it comes to gun violence in America.

  • Who Is To Blame For Gun Violence

    486 Words  | 1 Pages

    People blame the gun owners of America for the violence, but have you consider that America has gone through the blame game before like in Witch Craft during the Puritan ages and McCarthyism during the cold war, Gun Owners are to blame, but in the end it won’t matter if you placed the blame or are the ones who are blamed. People are always going to point the finger at anyone who stands out. Just like in The Crucible, there is another false accusation like when Abigail is blaming everyone in Salem for Witchcraft. “I want the light of God, I want the sweet love of Jesus! I danced for the Devil; I saw him; I wrote in his book; I go back to Jesus; I kiss His hand. I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!” (Miller 15). Abigail was blaming everyone in Salem for her mistake of having an affair with John Proctor who is married to Elizabeth, who then is later convicted for witchery.

    “No official figure exists but there are thought to be about 300 million guns in the U.S” ("Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence - BBC News", 2016). That means that there is almost a gun for every single person in the United States. The gun debate is especially large in the 2016 Presidential Election. Candidates like Secretary Hillary Clinton state that gun manufacturers should be held responsible for gun violence. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate supports the right to bear arms, a common republican belief, as he states "This is about self-defense, plain and simple." And Hillary’s opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders has a middle ground solution, giving each individual state the right to create their own gun laws with the exception of instant background checks and a federal ban on assault weapons. Gun violence is a huge issue that needs to be dealt with no matter what side you’re on. The U.S government seems to think it’s appropriate though, to spend more than a trillion dollars on counter terrorism at home, which kills only a fraction of people compared to that of firearm violence. Some even say that there isn’t even a gun issue and that mass shootings happen all over the world. Yes, they do, but they’re not even as close to as common. “Of all the murders in the US in 2012, 60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia, and just 10% in

    It is unbelievable how far the guns and other weapons industries have evolved over the years. Weapons started out as sticks and swords, fighting and killing had a purpose. Although there is no sane reason why one person should be allowed to kill another person, at least the death rates were much lower back then, than they are today. There were no ‘accidental’ deaths. There were well-thought out plans of killing people, made by people in their right minds against those who actually ‘deserved’ to die. Today, hearing about gun violence and other forms of public persecution has become the social norm. Despite the unpopular opinion that shooting ample numbers of people as serving justice, it is not what God planned. Some of the gun violence that

    Should Toyota be held responsible when a drunk driver causes a car accident? Likewise, should gun manufacturers be held responsible for gun-related deaths?

Guns kill people just as much as the pen in your hand makes the mistakes on your paper. Guns do not supply themselves with ammunition. They don’t aim at their target. And they don’t pull their own trigger. People are killing people, guns just make it easier.
