Gun control has and probably will always be an issue that is argued for or against from all political sides, regardless, of your own beliefs one must look at the pros and cons of gun control to determine what is necessary. To address this, we must first look

The Republican Party is extremely supportive of all the laws for less gun control while the Democrats want more gun control. The Republicans have always been advocates of less gun control because of their belief in the Second Amendment. I believe the following quote from “Republican Views on Gun Control” (2013) sums up their ideology on the subject: “The GOP (“Grand Old Party”) is keen to point out that the Republican position on gun rights does not flow from a fondness for weapons, but from a fundamental principle that calls for upholding certain rights that the nation was built upon. Republicans believe that governmental regulation of firearms is largely unconstitutional and therefore, most gun laws are an infringement on the individual’s rights to bear arms. The dominant point made by Republicans in this regard is that the Second Amendment gives the right to the individual to protect himself, his family, and his property.” While I agree with the right to protect oneself and his or her family, I would have to side with the Democrats’ stance on gun control. I think people should be able to bear arms but not every single weapon needs to be in reach. For example, according to Republican Views (2013), in 1993, Bill Clinton passed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban which banned the manufacture of semi-automatic firearms that were defined as assault weapons for civilian use. I completely agree with this law because there is simply no need for an average civilian to own an assault rifle especially now days. Assault rifles over the last two decades have gotten lighter and more powerful, and there is simply no need to them to be in the hands of inexperienced people. People worrying about protecting themselves and their property can still purchase sniper rifles, shotguns, and pistols, which do the job perfectly well. Along with protection, people also like to use guns for hunting, and a

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a complete stranger who is in your house, threatening to harm you, and your family, and you cannot do anything about it. Imagine, not being able to go target shooting or hunting, because there are laws passed to prevent you from owning a firearm. The truth is, more and more people in this country are trying to restrict law-abiding people from owning firearms due to the overwhelming rise in gun related crimes. As law abiding citizens, the constitution gives us the right to bear arms. Whether it is for recreation or protection,

The right to bear arms is a birth given right to all Americans by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment has become controversial recently due to the technological advancement of firearms. Modern firearms are capable of both high rates of fire and greater capacities of ammunition, unlike the single shot muskets that were available at the time of the Second Amendment’s conception. American liberals view these improvements in firearms as dangerous and unnecessary. However, no matter how dangerous firearms may be, the Second Amendment is a necessity for one factor alone: protection from one’s own government and it must be upheld. The Second Amendment provides a physical tool for Americans to defend themselves against a tyrannical government, it allows Americans to form militias against a tyrannical government, and it allows Americans to maintain comparable firearms of the U.S. government in order to prevent the potential loss of American freedoms in the future.

Across the United States of America a debate rages on daily, that debate is whether or not to allow the public to obtain and operate firearms. The right to bear arms has been fused together with American culture for hundreds of years. Many advocates for gun control are against citizens of the United States being able to possess and operate firearms, even though it is a necessary evil and is a right of every man and woman across the country. Gun control in the United States is a dangerous topic but one that needs to be addressed. American citizens have the right to bear arms, and the evidence is there to prove that it can be done effectively and safely.

"The right to bear arms" is what grants people freedom as they are able to defend themselves from any life threatening dangers. However, this amendment has not been exercised correctly in the U.S which makes it one of the most dangerous amendment as well. But, this amendment still plays a crucial role in people 's daily lives as they can protect themselves if there is any harm to their lives. Thus, it is important for this amendment to be reinforced even more to where owning guns is actually safe.

The 2nd amendment is one of the most debated topics in the United States. It’s a very important topic because it concerns every citizen in the country. Many people feel that the 2nd amendment should be repelled to avoid unfortunate incidents such as a weapon landing on the hands of an irresponsible person simply by not securing the firearm appropriately, an increase of street shootings, and accidental trigger pulls. On the other hand, others believe that the right to bear arms is essential to our country because it protects us from devastating events, some of which

The Republican’s view on gun-control, “Republicans believe that governmental regulation of firearms is largely unconstitutional and therefore, most gun laws are an infringement on the individual’s rights to bear arms” (republicanviews). The republicans would like almost any American be able to buy and own a gun without too much gun regulations. The republicans believe that the governments regulations on firearms are unconstitutional an infringement on an individual 's basic rights. The republicans believe everyone had the right to defend them so self so they should own a gun to protect them and their families.

This other side against less gun control claims that more gun control will save lives. Less guns would equal less ways to kill people. Having more gun control would restrict more deadly guns and it would also require heavier background checks so people with a criminal history or a mental illness would not be able to possess the deadly weapons. Events such as the sandy hook school shooting is an example of this. The shooter killed 26 people and that could have been prevented by heavier gun control laws because the shooter had a mental illness and that would have shown in a background

Our second amendment right is something that I feel that most Americans would go to war over. I never grew up around guns, I have never held a gun, or discharged a gun. More importantly, I have never used a gun to protect me, my property or my family. This is why I fail to see the fascination people have with the right to own a gun, especially military grade firearms like assault rifles. “Assault rifles were designed to kill people and have no legitimate civilian purpose.” (Infobased Learning 2008) So why then is ok for every ordinary Joe over the age of 21 with a permit to own one. Statistically speaking one in every three people in the U.S. own at least one firearm, and of those 48% own four or more firearms. In the past 40 years the percentage of gun ownership has gone from forty-seven percent to thirty-four percent. But guns do serve other purposes like protection and safety.

Living a life in America, we all get to have all the rights that included in the Constitution. One of those was the Second Amendment which is the rights to bear arm, the purpose was to protect ourselves from danger but nowadays a lot of people have take advantage of it and use it in the wrong way. I believe our government need to have a strict limit on guns possession.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” (Bill of Rights). This is the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. This is a document that grants all Americans certain inalienable rights. All citizens no matter their age or standing in society have some understanding of the Bill of Rights and the freedoms that it allows. One freedom that is granted to us, the right to bear arms, has become the center of a heated issue in today’s society and many years before. The majority of citizens have felt the impacts of guns, either positive or negative, during some point of their life. It is because of the fact that guns are a part of

First, it is important to realize that different time periods had different political atmospheres. In the eighteenth century, the Founding Fathers feared a large central government. For this reason, they viewed the union of sovereign states as dangerous and proceeded with caution. Though the notion of state militias was relevant in the eighteenth century, it is almost completely forgotten today. The contemporary understanding of this amendment is radically different. Most private citizens do not necessarily interpret gun rights as a form of protection against the government; rather, they view their second amendment right as a protection against other acts of violence. Unfortunately, allowing the prevalence of weapons and guns to go unregulated has led to a gun violence epidemic across many American cities. In my opinion, every right is subject to appropriate regulation, including the right to bear arms.

Gun control is a topic that is very controversial. Many people argue about this topic every day. There are two sides to the argument, you can either agree on gun control or you can be against it. Usually, Democrats favor pro-gun control and Republicans favor anti-gun control. From research, many people have different theories about each side of the argument. Gun control is a strong political issue that may never be resolved or put to rest, but maybe it can come to a resoultion someday.

The United States of America was built with one common goal in mind- Freedom. For years our country fought for this right to be instilled in our blueprint and for it to be the basis of our countries making. Without freedom, our country and its principles would perish. Our founding fathers gave us the right and liberty to this principle of Freedom in the Bill of Rights. Under this legal document, the 2nd amendment is established, securing Americans the right to possess and bear arms. Yet, somehow this undeniable right is misconstrued by the proponents of Gun Control, who claim that the right to bear arms was solely intended for militias. However, this statement is false and undermines their own allegations. In order to fulfill the collective right to serve in a militia, there needs to be an individual right to protect and to serve one's country and self. What arguments could possibly diminish the need for protection? Or go against the blueprint of The Founding fathers not only intended for us, but laid out by the law itself. Evidently, gun control has proven to do more harm than good and hinders the rights of Americans. Therefore, The United States of America should liberally implement the 2nd amendment because it consequently leads to lower crime rates,it is a constitutional right and protection.
