The news making the headline this previous couple of days is the truly appalling unforeseen development of six women and three men including a pastor who were shot dead at 9 p.m. on Wednesday June 17, 2015 at the Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston South Carolina , a historical church which was built up in 1816 as one of the most established African-American churches in the United States.

As per witnesses, Roof stacked and reloaded his weapon five times. He …show more content…

Those for gun control say the most secure weapon is guns at all. They feel it is better not to interact with guns by any means. By what method can something be safe in the event that you are not around it and don't comprehend it? In the event that a man isn't around weapons they'll have no idea of how to handle the gun. Regardless of the amount of individuals who don't care for weapons, they will never have the capacity to dispose of the greater part of the guns in the United States. CNN reports that there were 310 million nonmilitary guns in the U.S. alone starting 2009. Regardless of the amount of gun control, there will dependably be guns in the public arena.

Gun control is a very controversial topic that has has a huge impact on the United States of America. One side believes that if guns were taken away as a whole, the country would see significantly less gun related crimes and death, while the other opposing side thinks that taking away guns is not only against the Second Amendment but would lead to an increase in crime and death because the government would take guns away from people who are legally registered to own and conceal guns. The ongoing debate will continue until the foreseeable future but their are plenty of reasons why more gun laws should be made. Taking away guns is not the answer, learning how to deal with gun violence is the key.
Over two hundred years have passed since the founding fathers of the United States of America, had created the constitution, the very document that is viewed, by many, as the milestone for what has later become the most powerful country in the world, as well as, the beacon for democracy. Having derived its values from the simple, yet intrinsic principles of liberty, the constitution has played the role of a safeguard to always ensure the freedoms of the people of America will remain intact.
Gun control laws should regulate production, distribution, ownership and use of firearms by civilians. Gun control laws are not intended to dispossess law abiding citizens of licensed firearms but to intervene on reckless use of firearms that cause harm to the public. Gun control should also make it difficult for criminals to access firearms. Armed civilians have in many instances deterred acts of crime from being instigated by scaring away criminals. Nonetheless, gun laws can only be described as immensely lax. This essay seeks to argue for the enactment of strict gun control laws by highlighting the dangers posed by guns in the hands of members of the public.
In the year 2016 alone, there have been 145 mass shootings around the United States, while there have been only 173 days in the years so far. In order to prevent these atrocities from occurring so frequently gun ownership should be regulated by both the federal and state governments through a background check for all sales of firearms. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System has prevented more than two million convicted felons and other prohibited purchasers from buying guns. The law also has a deterrent effect since the prohibited purchasers are less likely to try to buy guns when they know comprehensive background check requirements are in place. However, currently the federal law requires criminal background checks only for guns sold through licensed firearm dealers, which counts for only sixty percent of the total gun sales. The U.S. Congress needs to regulate the obtainment of guns with a background check for all sales of firearms in order to protect the lives of citizens in this country while not violating the Second Amendment and the rights of the state.
For many years there have been arguments over gun control, and if there needs to be more regulations or even ban them. I do not think that banning firearms or adding more regulations would help; if anything it would make things worse.
Supporters of gun control want more laws put in place to control buying and selling of firearms. They don’t believe having responsible, law-abiding citizens with guns makes anyone more safe. It is our constitutional right as Americans to bear arms. I agree with the opponents of gun control in that they believe “gun violence is the fault of the perpetrators of violent deeds, not the guns themselves” (Gun Control Laws). The saying has been repeated millions of times: Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Society benefits from firearms in the hands of the right people, the responsible citizens who obtain their weapons legally. One alternative to gun control is law enforcement trying to get unregistered weapons off the street,
Gun Control is a very controversial topic of today, many people believe that you stricter laws should be put in place to completely abolish the second amendment. Whereas the other side of the table thinks that if you want to exercise your rights you should be completely free to do so. I fall in towards the middle more towards the anti gun control. Guns should be able to be freely obtained within reason, convicted felons should have no right to own weapon. Though today there are loopholes helping criminals have the ability to get them. The “gun show loophole” is the first, it is a theory that is controversial because of its thought that it affects crime rates, usually this notion is brought up by gun control advocates. Gun shows are thought to be the reason that criminals can purchase a weapon without having to have a background check. Another loophole is called the “straw purchaser” this is also a thought that helps criminals or people who should not own a weapon purchase a weapon. This paper will help to determine what these loopholes are and how it could be
Gun control is an ever-growing debate among American citizens. The debate is considering the positive and negative aspects of guns and what limits should be placed on them. Some people believe that guns should be completely restricted, while others believe that there should be no limitations on these weapons. However, many people are caught in the middle of this debate, believing that gun control should be allowed in moderation. Gun Control should be regulated to have a more strict process to obtain guns and to keep these weapons from those who are mentally ill.
There are many controversial argument about whether to be for gun control or whether to be against gun control, I personally think that gun control should be even more strict then it is right now. The Federal Law prohibits certain groups of people to possess a firearm. Those people include illegal immigrants, convicted felons, and people that are diagnosed with certain types of mental diseases. President Obama announced that he is expanding the amount of background checks for gun buyers. Having gun control can lessen the amount of homicides and gun related deaths. There are many debates about gun control, but the main issue is carrying out and supporting the laws.
The argument on firearm regulation has been a heated discussion for many years. On one side of the debate, we have people in favor placing restrictions on guns, while, on the opposite end of the spectrum, we have people fighting the regulation of guns. People in favor gun restrictions believe gun control can reduce crime ,while, the people against gun control believe having the right to bear arms is an effective crime deterrent. I believe that every law abiding citizen should be able to carry a gun and defend themselves against people who intend to harm them.Gun control laws are simply
The average response time of a 911 call is 10 minutes. The response time of a .357 magnum is 1400 feet per second. The second amendment of the United States Constitution states, “the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed upon.” That right is now more than ever in jeopardy and we must continue to fight for it. Gun Control does not solve our nations problem of violence.
When our fore fathers first came to this land, they were oppressed by their rulers. These wise men decided to stage a revolt against their government and start a new one, with a set of rules, laws and rights. They did not stage this massive revolt by negotiation, but with bloodshed on both sides. When the revolt was over, they then decided to make a bill stating the basic rights that every man in the country could have. One of those being the right to keep and bear arms in order to protect their families, gather food, and preserve their rights from all threats.
As an opponent of gun control I feel like taking away guns from civilians to try and ease the mind of the rest of the population won’t work because disarming a law-abiding citizen won’t disarm the criminal waiting for a chance to hurt, rob, or kill someone because they know they can’t protect themselves because their weapons were taken away. Gun laws don’t need to be changed to stop murders and theft to effectively fix the way we look at guns we as people need to change our attitude towards each other as humans because we promote violence and death in so many ways, we see violence in movies, TV shows. In some states we promote and legalized assisted suicide, as Kentucky Governor talked about his view on gun-control he said “you can’t regulate evil” as a response to the school shooting that happened in Kentucky which was days before the school shooting in Parkland, during a talk with news reporters on the subject he briefly talked about how guns are not the issue, he said we as a culture need to change the way we look at each other as people and reshape the way we look at death and violence in different ways and try to and change how much people view death whether it is on a movie, TV show, a video game , or something we see on social media every day because we promote violence that when a fight or any sort of violent act happens people would rather pull out their phone and record than call the police and try to interfere with the activity that’s going
One of the hot topics in society is the argument of gun control. Gun control is defined as the regulation of the purchase and ownership of firearms in an effort to reduce criminal or unsafe use. ("Gun Control" 1p. 1)These regulations include registration of firearms, banning the possession of firearms by minors, felons, the mentally ill, and people convicted of domestic violence; criminal background checks or specified waiting periods for gun purchases; limit weapon purchases at one certain time, or impose outright bans on the sale or possession of certain types of guns. ("Gun Control" 1p. 1) Even with these numerous restrictions on guns there are still roughly thirty thousand people killed with guns every year. Guns are responsible for 3.3
