Gun Death Persuasive Speech

629 Words3 Pages

January 4th, 2016; former president Barack Obama proposed a new system to reduce gun death rates and to keep firearms out of “the wrong hands”. For some citizens (and to congress), this was an act of triumph and courage. To others, this system as a whole is tampering with and stealing their rights as an American citizen, and from a survey taken by ‘pollingreport.com’ that’s exactly how 52% of U.S citizens feel. Evidently, these proposals have done anything but their purpose. It has fueled riots, and unrest in the nation.
June 11th 2014, an innocent 17-year-old girl went into her driveway as she forgot her phone in her car. Just as she goes to open her car door, 2 masked armed burglars held her at gunpoint while being forced and shoved into the brick wall. The young lady screamed frantically hoping for a miracle. Her Father had heard the screams, “it was the most god awful sound you would ever want to hear; your own daughter scared to death wondering if she will ever wake up again” Said the Father in an interview with FOX news. As he listened to her cry he ran to his bedroom where he had kept his AR-15 fully-automatic assault rifle and ran for his Daughter’s salvation. He opened the door, only to catch the 2 masked robbers off guard and shot the rifle into the masked men until the magazine …show more content…

Just as American citizens have the right to bear arms, they also have the right to protest, petition, make speeches, write letters, and any other way of non-violent action. Some organizations and groups are conducting these right now. If these people come together as one instead of taking no action, believing they will not make a difference, there will be a statement made, and there will be changes.

  • Australian Gun Law Persuasive Speech

    Good day Mr Albanese, and the senate, I would like to address the Australian gun laws, and how they should stay exactly how they are. The Australian gun laws are sorted into 6 categories, A, B, C, D, H, and R/E; and all gun handlers are required to sit a written test and receive a license to whichever category is necessary. Australia’s System to receive a gun license is quite the effort including legal documents and a background check as anyone who is unfit to own a firearm like mental illness shouldn’t be able to get their hands on a weapon. This can be considered an ethical issue for Australia as some Australians believe they reserve the right to have possession of a category E firearm, such as a Handgun, to protect themselves, like the US.

    Updating the Amendment 2.0 The right to bear arms has been a favoured constitutional law since its establishment in 1791, but as more gun related violence and accidents occur, there has been increasing debate on whether or not guns should be banned in the US altogether, and if not, what regulations should be required for the purchase and handling of them. While guns should not be completely banned from the country, the rules and regulations of gun laws should be tightened. In the 2nd amendment, it clearly states that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” While this statement still holds true, the evolution of firearms and how they have become more dangerous throughout the years is a clear sign of why the laws should be changed.

    I think it is clear that America’s lenient Gun Laws have no doubt been a huge factor on the staggering amount of gun violence for a long time. I do believe, however, in people’s rights to defend and arm themselves, it is part of their constitution, I just feel that it is necessary that the laws regarding the 2nd amendment need to be reinforced and should introduce some restrictions to ensure that only the people who are mentally capable of wielding a firearm, without causing harm to society, should be allowed to acquire one. I do also recognise that there are already a staggering number of guns in the possession of the general public, and I feel that the only way to tackle this issue is cultural change in America, changing the views of individuals on the idea of guns, but change is always

    The topic I chose for my informative speech was gun violence in the United States. I chose this topic so that others may be aware of all the violence related to a firearm and to inform them of the dangers associated with a gun in the United States. Everyday we turn on the news and hear about a new tragedy involving some sort of firearm. Therefore choosing gun violence as the topic for my speech seemed appropriate. I believe my topic opened the eyes of my audience because of the effect it had on them, especially being that I myself was a victim to gun violence and went through the whole ordeal of being hospitalized and all other effects that follows after being shot.

    Ever since the inception of this country 240 years ago, guns have been an integral part of the American identity; a sense of lawlessness, individualism, personal autonomy and freedom. They were the tools that liberated us, and gave us independence over a tyrannical, unrepresentative empire. However, in more recent years, these tools have been used more and more frequently in mass shootings, some of which are occurring at schools, targeting teachers and children. Since the infamous shooting at Columbine High School 19 years ago, we have had several shootings at schools, and we tend to get “thoughts and prayers”, a gesture with good intentions, but little actual progress made. This problem can be contributed to the increasing power of guns, and a lack of mental health coverage, gun
