I believe that the united states of America does not need stricter gun control laws
Even though it is true that gun violence seems to be on the rise. New laws are not
the solution too this problem. Moreover, i think that gun laws are unconstitutional.
After all, the Constitution guarantees a person’s right to own firearms. The
government can’t just take that right away, even for a good reason.
Their are already plenty of laws to stop criminals from getting guns. These laws
obviusly do not work if they did, we wouldn’t need any more laws! Since they don’t
work, what is the purpose of passing more laws? What we need is more gun
education in this country then people would understand guns better and would use
them more responsibly.
What the constitution

  • It's Time to Ban the NRA (National Rifle Association)

    I am writing on behalf of my thoughts and myself about gun control laws. My position on this topic is neutral leaning towards the "No Gun" law. The idea of a federal law to ban these guns is a good idea, but it could be better. I believe strongly that guns should be banned from our country in some kind of way, but there are exceptions like for law enforcement and hunters. This law could lower the murder and death rates drastically. The US would be a whole different and safer country to live in. No one should live in a society where they are afraid of being killed by a gun, we should try harder to make this society in the US a better place. I have many reasons to back my views on this topic, and here are some main reasons that you should really think about.

  • Argumentative Essay: Gun Control Violates The Second Amendment of the Constitution

    384 Words  | 1 Pages

    The U.S. should not have gun control laws. The Second Amendment to the Constitution states that, “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.” This amendment has been around since 1791, and there has been gun control almost as long as it has been around. The National Rifle Association is an advocate of the Second Amendment and an opponent of those who propose restrictions on guns. Even Presidents Reagan and Bush were members, and Nixon, Eisenhower, and Kennedy were also members.

    middle of paper ... ... law system, however not all illegal applicants can! Some politicians strongly support bans on gun uses will solve the firearm problems more effectively. Significantly, bans on guns will indeed raise the demand for illegal guns underground, which makes it harder for police to control gun uses. i.e. a FAC gun control system in Canada works very effectively due to the fact that fewer guns are traded in black market.

  • Persuasive Essay On Gun Violence

    2058 Words  | 5 Pages

    Violence in the United States is a major problem, but our politicians only want to focus on gun violence, and some of them believe the solution to ending gun violence is by preventing law abiding citizens from exercising their second amendment rights. Guns are easier to commit a crime with than other weapons, or without a weapon at all, but with an estimated 270 million guns the hands of citizens (11 facts), if they were the problem we would know it by now. It is undeniable that guns are responsible for a high amount of crime, but we already have tens of thousands of gun laws in the United States (How many gun laws are there?), that haven’t been able to curb gun violence. If the current laws were working, then maybe there would be a reasonable

  • Argumentative Essay: All Handguns MUST Be Banned

    348 Words  | 1 Pages

    The lawmakers of today make laws and they don’t think about the decisions they make from both perspectives. They may say it’s all right to own a handgun but they may have different intentions than the user has on how and why they need one. The owner may need one for their protection but the lawmaker may think it’s for hunting or something other than it causing violence. To ensure these guns are not being used for violence the law needs to make a set of rules and regulations on the conditions of guns. How to use them/abuse them need to be the number one law. It should state guns are not intended to be used for violence of no kind. The law need to enforce the laws they make to ensure proper safety it would eliminate half of the gun violence.

  • Gun Control Vs Cultural Reform

    In 1987, a lone gunman armed with two semi automatic rifles and a handgun went on a six-hour shooting spree roughly seventy miles west of London, killing more than a dozen people and then himself in what became known as the Hungerford Massacre. With the event fresh on everybody’s mind, Britain introduced the Firearms Act, expanding the list of banned weapons including semi automatic rifles and set forth new and increased registration requirements for other types of weapons (council on foreign relations). Anti-gun debaters always like to compare the United States to countries like Britain and say how much their gun related crime has decreased and how they haven’t had any mass shootings of comparison to recent ones in the States. The fact of the matter is that at least 36 people have been fatally stabbed - and 62 overall killed - in London since the beginning of the year. Met Police records show 37, 443 recorded knife offences and 6,694 recorded gun offences across the UK in the year up to September 2017. The level of stabbings and knife related incidents have skyrockets in recent years. London actually has a higher murder rate than New York City, now. (the sun). Again, only the naive would think that if a gun ban was the answer to gun violence, that all crime and homicides would decrease. Obviously that is not

    The first dependent variable to be examined was the amount of people that owned guns in relation to the independent variable, age. From the table it I clear that a high majority of people have at least one gun in their household. People belonging to the younger age group, 18-30, are more likely have one gun in their household than people in the older age groups, 31-50 and 51-95. Another thing that we can infer from this table is that in most households you will only find one gun. From the table we can see that about 87% of people have at least one gun in their house, while the other 13% of people have two or more.
