The Effect Of Gun Laws
In this article, the author describes the effects the government has when they try and change gun laws and restrictions. Then it goes on to show the results from the people as the government tries to make change. The information I want to include is the cause and effect of government interaction with gun laws. This adds statistics, graphs, and background to my paper. This article is similar to another article as it describes the effect of governments on the people when it comes to gun laws. This article is a bit outdated but it still is credible with other websites that have similar information.

    John Smith is a 15 year old student. He comes home from school and finds the police are at his house. The police then tell him that his mother has been shot and killed. The heartache, the grief, and the horror that goes through him as he hears this is unbearable. Smith’s pain could have been prevented with a gun. According to polled felons, 3/5 of them won’t target an armed victim. That means three out of five crimes could have been stopped if only the victim had a gun. Altering the gun laws we have now would make it so that more lives would be lost and would also be unconstitutional. That is why we must not alter the gun laws we have now.…

    It was just another Friday night at a barber shop in Columbia, S.C. Two men, armed and dangerous, rushed in guns flying, intending to rob the shop. One customer was not about to let it happen. He sat in the barber's chair, hands up until both suspects were not paying attention, when either took their eyes off him he reached for his concealed weapon and fired on the two. As they fled he managed to kill one and the other got away. Thus, none of the customers were injured. With gun violence at an all time high, the people of America are becoming aghast of weapons.

    Many Americans believe that Gun-Control Laws should be enforced, because “Individuals do not need guns for protection; it is the role of local and federal government to protect the people through law enforcement agencies and the military.” (http://www.StudentNewsDaily.com) All Individuals deserve the right to carry a gun with them at all times, to use for protection. According to the Second Amendment in the Constitution, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” (https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/second_amendment) Obtaining a gun, gives one the sense of feeling safe and protected given any situation. No one knows when they may be “attacked” or in danger, and the protection they need from the government may not always be there to protect them. Every American must learn self-defense and use it when needed, they shouldn’t have to rely and anyone but themselves.…

    The U.S. has been in a hot debate over a tough issue for hundreds of years now. The subject of that debate is gun control laws. With mass murders and break-ins happening all over America it brings up two groups of people. One group believes taking away the guns will solve the problem. I believe, along with lots of other people, that taking away the guns will not solve the problem. We need to protect our Second Amendment, as well as ourselves, and stick to our guns.…

    “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms within his own land,” stated Thomas Jefferson. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution defends the right of the people to keep and bear arms and was adopted on December 15, 1791, as part of the first ten amendments contained in the Bill of Rights. This right should continue to be protected. The right to bear arms is a fundamental right that provides protection to American citizens and their families.…

    Some people believe there should be stricter laws regarding firearms. These people believe there would be fewer deaths and homicides. It is also thought that there should be stricter gun laws or even bans on military guns and accessories. I believe that stricter laws won't affect gun deaths and homicides. Guns are not the problem. Having stricter laws will not prevent criminals from getting guns. Gun ownership helps limit criminal activity.…

    The article that I selected is titled "Gun control is not the answer". The issue of the article is that taking away guns will not stop shooting in the United States of America; therefore, citizens should continue to have guns. The article should be viewed with skepticism because the author of the article is biased and uses fallacy tactics to try to persuade his the audience to agree with him because he's a gun owner and the creator of a gun blog post. He supports the second amendment the right to bear arms, he doesn't agree with gun control. The passage that I selected doesn't support the author's position because it doesn't focus on gun control in America. The article is all over the place it has several rhetoric devices…

    Gun control is by far one of the most controversial subjects in the entire world. Whether gun control is good or bad is debatable, though with statistics from two very different countries we will be able to form an opinion and have a better understanding of gun controls effectiveness. In evaluating and studying The United States and The United Kingdom, both being completely opposite from one another in view of Gun control we will be able to see these two different sides.

    The first mass shooting was in Austin, Texas in 1966 by Charles Whitman at the University of Texas. He snipped fourteen people and wounded thirty-two others in less than ninety minutes. Students used their weapons from their vehicles and helped police take him down. Democratic parties are scared to bring up the topic of gun control because they fear that they will lose votes to the people that do not want gun control. Gun laws are intended to limit the amount of guns in an area and lower crime rates, but people with mental problems do not follow those rules. They set their minds on killing people and that is what they do. If gun control became stricter, then there would still be gun violence because criminals would be armed making unarmed citizens easy targets. No one can stop them because they are set on killing no matter what. They do not have to suffer the consequences of killing the people they do because most of them kill themselves when they are about to get caught or after they finish what they planned to do.…

    To my understanding from what I have read and heard on the news our president Barack Obama is trying to pass a law to ban firearms. I personally believe that this is a bad idea because it wont stop the violence or the crime rate and deaths will still occur all over the world even if the guns are banned there are multiple ways to cause an act of violence.…
