I liked how you stated that there are specific guns that are only allowed.I actually read on the website of the Law Center of prevention of Gun Violence has specific rules, and limitations to what type of gun to be purchased, and it does differ from a state to another, there are some similarities that almost all the states that I have checked require purchasing the gun at a licensed dealership. I will compare California with a state that I chose that has different requirements and I will Paste…
is a contributing factor to gun abuse. When many people feel threatened or violated they tend to substitute fear with violence. Considering guns are opened to anyone with any background, violence within the U.S. is bound to happened. However, gun violence does not have to continue to be a bigger problem for American citizens. Placing stronger regulations for gun control could reduce…
By Federal law gaining legal access to a gun is a process simpler than a refinancing a family home in the United States. Our government states that under federal law a licensed gun dealer cannot sell any handguns and/or ammo to anyone that is under 21 and can’t sell long arms (Shot guns/ rifles) to anyone under the age of 18 but an unlicensed dealer cannot sell handguns to anyone under 18 and can sell long arms to anyone regardless of age. Everyday there are up to nine deaths under the age of 21…
country made a proposal about gun control. If guns are made illegal there would be a huge decrease…
heartbreaking to see people and families go through these conditions, having horrible news be a regular day to day thing. With that being said, gun control has been an ongoing issue with several opinions flying through the air. We either need to make it more restricted or to keep it the same. People have had mixed feelings towards this, saying it is a right to own guns or saying we need to start making a change. Though, since it is the second…
deaths and casualties caused by gun violence, especially in the past year, creating stricter gun laws would cause obtaining weapons to be less accessible to criminals-as certain guns should only be used by authority figures or those with the proper license and reason to handle them. Gun violence has been shown to decrease in countries with stricter gun laws and gradual changes could help our country experience less mass shootings that relate to gun violence (US Gun Deaths…). There are many…
States of America, the sound of a gun fires through the air on average of ninety nine times, ending a human being’s life (“Gun Violence by the Numbers”). This huge number is not new to the American society though, these fatal gun shootings have been occurring for decades. Government officials and politicians have been trying to reduce these deaths with the help of gun control. Gun control is defined as the, “regulation of the selling, owning, and use of guns” (“Gun Control”). These officials…
says Paul Waldman of The Week. What injured and killed them, you may ask? Guns. Most of them accidental. My topic is gun control. I think that there should be procedures you must take before being able to get a gun. Way too many people die each year from gun related injuries - and nobody is doing anything about it! If terrorists were the ones who were killing 30,000 people a year, just imagine all the restrictions and gun laws we would have. Instead, we are just letting more and more people get…
Gun control has been a major issue for many years now and it seems as time progresses, gun violence rates are increasing. There have been many mass shootings in the United States because not everyone who possesses a gun is in the right state of mind. There are many disagreements to the safety requirements of purchasing a gun. Although there have been safety requirements before, those laws did not help decrease the violence but increased it. Therefore the lawmakers have been discussing if guns…
been around firearms? Everyone has seen firearms on television or in a movie here or there but how many of you have actually been around them and know anything about them? The answer is only about 4 in 10 people in America actually claim to own a gun. So there is a good chance that people have been around a firearm or at least know someone who has one. That being established how many of them actually have some form of training with said firearm. The answer is not a lot. There are quite a…
