The Pros And Cons Of Gun Control

To many people are killing themselves with guns. A Little more than half of suicides are done with guns. Making it harder for someone who is not mentally stable to own a gun or someone who will inflict pain on themselves to get a gun. The amount of money that is spent on gun related accidents can decrease if the gun laws were enforced. In theory if the numbers of gun violence drop, taxpayers will be paying less in taxes.

Michael W, shows in his article “We Need Stricter Gun Laws” how the data show that strict gun laws reduce violent crime. For example, there is a correlation between restrictive laws and lower homicide rates with and without firearms, both within the United States and internationally. Moreover, a recent study published in the Southern Medical Journal found that the presence of a gun in a home is twelve times more likely to lead to the death of a member of the household or a visitor than an intruder. ( we need,2014). With stronger gun control laws, the crime and murder rates will decrease all across the country.

A higher Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA) is effective in preventing alcohol-related deaths and injuries among teenagers and youth. When the MLDA has been lowered, injury and death rates increase, and when the MLDA is increased, death and injury rates decline (Wagenaar, 1993). In addition, a common argument among opponents of a higher MLDA is that because many minors still drink and purchase alcohol, the policy isn't working on minors. The evidence shows, however, that although many youth still consume alcohol, they still drink less and experience fewer alcohol-related injuries and deaths (Wagenaar, 1993). There is also an argument comparing the European alcohol and drunk diving among the youth compared to the United

Before researching more in depth, I believe bad people do bad things and banning guns will not be effective in stopping it. Australia is a great example of a country banning certain guns and the crime and homicide rate have both

It’s hard to feel safe when the ones who are supposed to be protecting you are killing you. When people decide to live in America it may be for a better standard of living, but little do they know “every 7 hours cops kill an American citizen” (Cop Crisis). Police are trained to guard, prevent crime, and enforce laws; not to kill and destroy citizens. From past research the police brutality rate has increased within in the past three years and by the end of twenty­sixteen there will be 1,472 or more American citizens killed by cops (Cop Crisis). The police brutality rate should be minimizing each year in America, because we’re a hospitality country, killing doesn’t serve justice correctly, and causes tension between African Americans and Caucasian Americans.

Finally, I believe that tougher DUI laws should be enacted. For starters, people forget how many innocent people get killed by drunk drivers. People are not taking it into consideration, that tougher DUI laws are to help people from getting injured and or killed. Firstly, one very important precaution that many people forget to consider, is how they are going to get home after they have been drinking. Jacey Fortin journalist for the New York Times Newspaper, shares that, alcohol related car accidents were reduced as much as 35% in New York when Uber was brought to town in 2011 (Fortin).

He supports his argument by saying that making strict gun laws will lead to a time where only the terrorists and bad guys will have guns, leaving the other citizens unarmed and unprotected. He believes that the people are responsible for killings with firearms and not the guns. The first and second debaters in text 2 share the same attitude towards gun laws as Donald Trump. The text compares guns with cars.

The average cost of one, single gun crime can even go up to $1.79 million. And, in case you didn’t know, it’s us — the taxpayers who are paying that fee. So, then, not only is it safer without each individual owning a firearm, it’s also much cheaper — and, therefore, more practical. But, back to reality, where, in America, three percent of the population own half of the civilian guns; this may not seem like a problem now, but if robbed or accidents are to happen, you would surely see why this is can be a large risk factor. In fact, according to multiple surveys, 44% of Americans personally know someone who has been shot by a gun.

Do you want to die? can you believe that 10,694 people recommitted crimes in 2015 that’s around 50% of people that had already committed a crime. If we bring back the death penalty the community would be a better place Australia would save some money because there would be less people in prisons which means less people we have to cater for. why should tax payers be paying for criminals that have done the wrong thing. when there are homeless people living on the streets?

However, doing this will not stop felons from procuring and committing gun-related crimes. For example, take a look at the United Kingdom. Once they banned guns, there was a large spike in murders, reaching as high as 1.97 homicides per 100,000 people. The murder rate then began to decline around 2003-2004 as a result of increased police force, but has only reached a number below the pre-ban’s 1.3 homicides per 100,000 people 1 time. This shows that while a ban may limit gun violence, perpetrators will find other ways to commit crimes, such as bombings and driving vehicles through crowds.

It is prohibited for people with a criminal record to have any kind of possession of assault weapons. I also want to decrease the shipment of guns to the black market. There are a majority of post-criminals with access to guns which then cause the percentage of gun violence to raise. The percentage of guns in households have been declining, and my party wants to keep it that

According to "Reducing Gun Deaths In The USA" (2000:1367), “But the evidence also suggests that, at least in terms of firearm deaths and injuries, efforts to reduce the availability of handguns have had a major effect.” However, to this day it is still easy to obtain a FOID card and a concealed carry permit. With that being said, if more federal gun-control laws went into effect, the outcome may positively influence the amount of gun violence we see today in

Implementing gun control laws on domestic regulation of firearm manufactured, trade, possession, use, and transport can reduce violent killings, and suicide but policies should not focus on reducing crime via restrictions of liberty, but rather address the root causes and motivations. Gun control fails to solve the causes of gun violence in favor of political grandstanding. Studies have shown a decline and murdered victims, violence in urban areas and drug prohibition . The largest U.S. cities have seen some of the largest percentage declines.

Argument Outline There are thousands of homicides per year and fewer gun restrictions in Missouri. Guns laws should be stricter. If they were, there would be less gang gun violence, less mass shootings, n less terrorism. If killers cannot access a gun.

We need as many gun restrictions in America as possible, why? Because at least over 28,000 children were killed over an 11 year period, and on average 31 people are shot and killed. Proposition 63 requires background checks to purchase ammunition and firearms, it also prohibits the possession of large capacity magazines. Society’s mentality has evolved into shoot first ask questions later, resulting in many deaths among all age, cultural, and ethnic groups. Proposition 63 should be in full effect because it will prevent mass shootings, decrease the statistics of those who die from gun violence and abolish accidental deaths among the younger generations.
