Gun Control Societal

The same is true for combination locks, especially for those who tend to forget their combinations. The need for gun owners to keep their guns put away arose largely from gun control laws, but also from common sense as parents want to protect their curious kids from hurting themselves or others. For the ease of access in the case of some emergency situation, a biometric gun safe is probably the best bet. Imagine the situation in the worst-case scenario, and under pressure if you had your choice to use your fingerprint safe versus fumbling for the key or recalling the right combination... you can surely see the clear advantage of a biometric design.

For instance, her use of the slogan from Senator Barry Goldwater, stating that, “We have a crime problem in this country, not a gun problem” (549). Desuka addresses that Senator Goldwater is only half correct in his statement. Mainly because Goldwater does not entirely state the truth, according to the research she has made on handguns. The research showing that it is not only the criminals that kill people, but that guns are a tool for an easier assassination. Leading us to believe that if criminals were without a gun there would be a greater chance of surviving from a vile attack.

I believe it is very important for each state to have strict gun laws regarding who can purchase guns. Considering the fact that it is so easy to purchase a firearm in America, guns are constantly being bought legally and sold to people in the streets illegally. It is these guns that are being sold into the streets that are being used for armed robberies and other malicious crimes. I am a firm believer in the second amendment and as an American citizen I appreciate the fact that I have the right to bear arms. I have come to the conclusion that it is vital that each state make it harder for people with mental issues, veterans with PTSD, and other people that can be considered as a menace to society to purchase firearms.

It seems to be very plausible that criminals can still illegally trade firearms even under strict gun regulations, and law-abiding citizens cannot protect themselves when they don’t have access to guns. Yet, there are two logical fallacies tied to this argument. First, gun control policies do not necessarily deprive the rights to owning a gun for law-abiding citizens. For instance, under the strict background check system, people with clean criminal records are still able to acquire a permit to purchase guns and protect themselves when incidents happen. Second, as Michael Boylan wrote in his book, since a large number of gun owners do not regularly use their guns, they are not prepared enough to cope with dangerous situations (130).

If firearms are too heavily restricted you make the job of a criminal easier. Easier you say? But if we make them illegal how ever can they get in? They’ll get in the same way illegal drugs get into the U.S. Completely revoking the right to bear arms

The biggest question remains, should civilians be allowed to carry guns. Many argue No, others yes. My opinion is that they should carry guns on them at all times. Reason being is because we might need to defend ourselves against tyranny one day. Many criminals are free on the streets and you never know when you might bump into one.

Each one wants to portray one political party as the villain and the other as the hero. Common news sources that tend to be very biased are Fox News, CNN, BuzzFeed News, and many more. With many social problems each party wants to solve them one way, and any other way is wrong, however, this is not an ideal way to govern. You step on everyone’s toes, and things wont get done. A very popular topic that divides the nation greatly is abortion, many think its wrong and cruel, while others believe its correct in certain situations.

You know what they say, “A happy event never made a good headline.” With media-obsessed teens taking over, all they see are the bodacious, overbearing headlines that will always cause an uproar in different political views. In the treacherous recent events of our great country, we are in a time where the government has a lot of control over what we see. Whether you are Democratic or Republican or otherwise, we have all seen the effects that the media has taken on recent shootings. No matter what any news reporter or instagram influencer says, gun control is not and will never be the most effective way to solve or control crime.

That’s not enough time, many will be depressed because those empty seats are not because that child is sick, but due to the fact that they were one of the victims that was shot and killed. Classes will not be the same and yet this was all because of our gun control laws. How is a 19 year old able to buy a AR-15 rifle, but not cigarettes or alcohol? As a result from this horrific event, gun control laws should be enforced more strictly throughout the United States of America. Before technology, people lived a simple life.

Guns on campuses make the vulnerable even more vulnerable. Even though having guns on campus would improve response time, having guns on campus would also increases the chances of a confrontation escalating and turning lethal. Keywords: (guns, violence, schools) It’s very disheartening how easily it is to obtain a certification to own a gun. Here in the United States it is easier to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon than it is to obtain a driver’s license.

Serial numbers are often filed off to prevent a weapon from being traced. With no serial number a gun thief can now sell the weapon with no risk of it being traced back to the original owner. In a city like D.C. the strict gun control creates an illusion like it is actually helping. In actuality the city in general is just less violent. There is no amount of gun control that can keep guns out of the hands of criminals and stop alternative measures of terrorism.

Gun violence seems to be all we hear about these days. The amount and force of weapons available today is much more than we ever foresaw. With the mass shootings and increasing street violence, one could come to the conclusion that gun laws should be stricter, or guns should be outlawed completely. However, would harsher gun laws really work, or would criminals find more ways to get around them?

Gun control is a trending issue in the media, and within political debate. Now, more than ever, the media contains the news of gruesome crimes, including mass shootings in schools, churches and other public places. There are so many examples shootings in churches, schools and other public places that are taking president in the media. This has caused much controversy as to whether or not guns should be banned in the United States. The ideal option would annihilate any further action from being taken, however, there is no possible way for this to actually occur.

The hidden carry of firearms can prevent murders or other serious crimes dramatically. In the United States over 2 million self defense cases are reported with the use of concealed carry weapons which outnumbers the amount of crimes committed with guns by about 8 million (Lampo). Conceal carry laws help people that can not rely on police or government forces defend themselves or others. These rights to carry a hidden firearm also contribute to the personal security of this nation. Although guns are deadly weapons, gun laws do not have negative effects on crime rates because they increase murders, leave innocent people defenseless, and end more lives than they save.

The asinine idea of gun control Gun violence in America isn’t a gun problem it’s a people problem. By limiting access of firearms you limit the freedoms and right to protect yourself and the ones you love. Not only are the rights of the people being infringed but banning firearms is unconstitutional and unfair to the people. I find it very interesting that people high up in our political system are still so blind to the facts. Less than 1% of all gun crimes are used with legally obtained firearms.
