The general argument made by Shiha Dalmia in her work, “The Case Against Banning Guns” is that guns should not be banned in the United States. Banning guns is not going to stop people from killing other people. There is no possible way to collect every single gun in the U.S. and even if there was, people have other ways and items to hurt others. When something gets banned, everyone seems like they want to do that thing more. Guns should only be used for appropriate activities like hunting, for example, but there is no one to stop people from harming others.
Do you have a gun in your household? Should people carry guns with them? Michael Steele once said,”You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don 't enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It 's not the law-abiding citizens, it 's not the person who uses it as a hobby.
School shootings have became a big problem in the United States and something needs to be done to stop them from happening. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland Florida was just a normal high school. It had over 3,000 students 9-12th grade. On the afternoon of February 14, 2018, a shooter pulled the fire alarm and threw smoke bombs before he made his way through the school campus and started shooting as people began running through the smoke. When he pulled the fire alarms, everyone thought there was a fire so they were trying to get out.
I believe that due to recent shootings, we as America should do something to put an end to these shootings. I know that the difference between gun advocates versus gun control activists is that gun advocates have guns and know how to use them properly. Donald Trump has stated that to put an end to the shootings is not only due from obtaining a gun, but mental health. I also believe that it isn’t necessary to own a gun unless you’re using. I am torn between both sides, because half of the people feel more safe when they have a gun on hand, and the others feel more safe knowing that no one is in possession of a weapon.
According to David Emery, of the “18” school shootings this year, only 2 of them were a gunman opening fire in a school with the intention of hurting or killing students. Not taking anything away from them 2 schools because these are tragic and sad situations, but the media has no reason to lie and say that there were 18 school shootings. In an article written by Richard Florida, he said that 39 states allow guns to be carried by trained professionals on school premises. There are two sides to this debate and both sides have valid points. On the left, they argue that some teachers are “crazy” and there shouldn’t be guns put into their hands, there is also a chance that a student may steal the weapon and go on a rampage.
Moreover, if the ownership of guns is limited, it will help prevent unnecessary deaths and violence caused by gun owners, especially students. Gun ownership should be totally controlled and regulated by the government because they will help in limiting the number of people who own guns. When gun
The topic for my paper is the issue of whether guns should be permitted on college campuses. After reading many of the articles in the New York Times I have come to a conclusion or better to say liked one of the articles more than the others. The article is called, “ guns on campuses makes the college less safe” by Javier Auyero. The second amendment states the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Every human should have the opportunity to protect themselves, but that doesn 't mean having a gun would do that.
Those against the gun control argue that it 's a private initiative for a criminal to have interaction in crime, whether or not he holds a gun or not. During this regard, he doesn 't need to possess the gun for him to carry a weapon. A lot of comparisons are created between alternative weapons that wont to kill individuals and also the guns that are continuously blamed for getting used in killing individuals. Individuals can and have used crude weapons such as screwdrivers, knives, ext. Showing that they the killing would still have taken place, within the absence of the gun.
Their job is to find out if someone had poisons or drugs in their system by testing the blood of the person and eventually test other organs for the presence of drugs or poisons. They also need to calculate the total amount of drugs or poisons in the person system and understand how this could have affected them. After they need to write down a report that could be used in court with the forensic toxicologist being present as an expert witness. Describe the roles and responsibilities of a DNA lab
Running head: GUN VIOLENCE GUN VIOLENCE What Changes Should Be Made Cassius A. Kurns Jr Mr. Redmond Leo High School A way that we can decrease gun violence is have a stricter sale on firearms. Loopholes now exist in the background check system that make it possible for people with criminal records or mental health issues to procure guns. For instance, a gun purchased over the Internet or from a private individual at a gun show is not subject to a background check because neither instance involves licensed gun sellers.
Guns are a high trade item in the US, so there are definitely many other illegal sources. Also making strict gun laws takes power from the people. Owning and using guns is a constitutional right, and while some restrictions are reasonable, there are many that are not. Making too many, or unreasonable restrictions gives power to the government that should be the people 's. People should be better educated about firearms instead of creating harsher laws. An education
I can see no validity in this argument as yes I agree that people kill people not guns however what I believe is that these weapons are too easily accessible and in some states can be purchased without any form of license. So yes guns don’t kill people. But the small percentage of people who wish to carry out these atrocities can make these purchases of so easily and without any hindrance is simply terrifying. Also the ammunition of these weapons are just as easy to obtain than the weapons themselves, In that ammunition can be purchased online.
Lapierre implies, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” This may be true, but what if neither party had a gun? I’m not saying that all guns in America should be banned, but instead no more of these assault rifles and firearms should be allowed in the average citizen 's hand. All guns sellers should have to provide a background research, psychological test, and a contract of intent on how the buyer will use the product. With these new selling strategies in place Adam Lanza would not have had the chance to commit this horrendous
Numerous people own firearms and pose no threat to public safety. However, when individuals with a history of violence, substance abuse, and serious mental illness can access firearms due to the existing gun laws, the risk of deadly violence increases greatly. Guns should only be in the battlefield and not in the schools, movie theaters, churches, and communities. To make gun laws make more sense to people, a culture of gun safety should be established.
The Second Amendment was never actually intended for everyday citizens. In the writing of the amendment it states militia meaning that it was only intended for them to bear arms. Citizens have found easy access to the weapons that they use in their shootings. Therefore, guns are put into the wrong hands, which means gun regulations should be stricter and allow a more detailed background check with mental health evaluations. There have been gun purchases where there has been a flaw in the background check system, allowing mentally ill or irresponsible people to obtain guns.
