What the article is saying is that if you take away the handgun of a citizen who has done no harm, and when there is a need for the protection of your family and they have no gun then they have nothing else to do but hide and hope the criminal does not find them before the police come. In conclusion, Gun Control can be good in many different ways, until it interferes with the protection of someone else's life or family. To understand gun control more it is important to know about the laws passed, pros, and cons. The laws that were passed play an important role in Gun control and they can help the crime rates with guns go down. Gun Control can do its job with interfering with law abiding gun owners as little as possible.
In “a three-year study by the National Institute of Justice”, “1,800 convicted felons… confirmed that criminals strongly fear meeting armed resistance by potential victims” and “74% said they believe burglars avoid houses where people are at home because they're afraid they'll get shot; 39% said they personally had called a halt to a particular planned crime because they feared the victim might be armed”, which proves how vital self-defense can be (Harris). Owning firearms deters criminals from committing crimes and this can help protect communities. Taking away this deterrent is another negative effect of gun control and it shows why the laws taking away gun rights should not be used in the United States. Not only do gun control laws take away a form of protection from people, it also creates a demand for more police to help society stay safe. In states where “the right to bear arms is” practiced, “it reduces the demand for a police state” and “when people are incapable of protecting themselves, they become either victims of the criminals or dependents of the state” by using resources that would otherwise not be needed (Levy).
The increase in the number of guns that people bought for self-defense is probably due to a lower level of confidence in social security and the strong sense of self preservation. This phenomenon suggest that the mass shooting events has had a bad effect on the survivors mental health and even made them feel frightened after hearing such news. Actually, many people think that if many people have the guns and these people who have guns are surrounding with them, they may be worried about some bad things happen (Hemenway 1995). If the government decide to control guns more strictly, this decision might directly reduce the chances of the mass shooting issues because gun is the only tool for shooting. Since the mass shooting issues is hopefully
Recently there has been a drastic increase in the amount of murders by the use of a firearm, most likely because we are making them easy to get. We give these powerful guns to just about anyone and everyone. There have been many incidents of kids bring guns and shooting their schools and people gunning down concerts with hundreds of people there. They are allowed in our country for sport, but are being used for destruction. By allowing powerful guns to our citizens we are allowing them to commit these mass murders.
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.
Gun control is an extremely hot topic that has become a serious focal point in the news today in America. Americans are seeing an increase in not only the numbers of shooting incidents that are occurring around the country, they are also seeing an increase in the number of mass shootings that are effecting students, in particular high school students. As a society, Americans have determined that mass shootings in school, which should be a safe haven for students, are not acceptable. One can successfully argue that Americans need to develop a way to stop deadly gun violence. There is an old saying that “guns do not kill people, people kill people’’ which means that shooters need to be stopped.
Guns do not kill people. Disturbed people with guns kill people. Maybe this is a point we can all try to agree on? Maybe we can all agree that we have a real public safety issue in the United States today caused by a system that is broken. Unfortunately, we have lots of evidence of what can go wrong when the system fails.
Someone’s life does not have to be cut short because of gun. It is such a tragedy with the violent death of a loved one, so in order to prevent other deaths then gun control must be issued. Guns are very powerful weapons, and should not be offered to just anyone. If guns fall into the wrong hands it can be a very dangerous and scary situation. Most of the time officers are not always quick to address a situation, and sometimes situations involving guns can be out of the officer’s
It’s a very very sad event. A very very sad event, but that’s the way I view it.” This demonstrates another example of someone “pro-guns” saying, Guns don’t kill people- people do. Yes, weapons like guns do require human actions in order to harm, however, the problem is not whether or not guns can do any harm spontaneously. The issue is that guns provide a blisteringly simple way to fulfill the shooters aim. Therefore, yes, people do participate in ending other’s lives, but, without the dangerous weapon we would not need to worry as
This statement is entirely false. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. It’s not the gun that has
