The purpose of this memo is to advise a firearm policy. I provide two policy alternatives that incorporate a federal mandate to regulate and document firearm transactions in all States. The first policy includes a provision to prevent convicted felons from purchasing firearms. The second policy alternative contains provisions to prevent mentally ill people and convicted felons from obtaining firearms as well as banning high caliber weapons. My recommendation is to adopt Policy Option A because…

Roosevelt enacted the National Firearms Act of 1934, which was the commencement of any regulation and control over firearms. Furthermore, this enactment made all purchases of a weapon at the time to be archived in a national registry and imposed a $200 tax on the sale of firearms, which at the time included; machine guns, and sawed-off shotguns. President Franklin D. Roosevelt continues his progression of gun control later in 1938 when he introduces the National Firearms Act of 1938, which was…

that follows regulation and a shotgun that has had its barrel and stock sawed off. The modification to the shotgun make it easier to conceal, which makes the nature of that device even more dubious. The Second Amendment does not protect the use of a firearm for illegal manner, nor does it protect those that do not follow federal restrictions. If deciding that Heller’s rights were violated, then anyone should be able to purchase a machinegun without obtaining a class III license. When examining…

The United States is known as “the land of opportunity,” and in recent years, powerful drug cartels have taken the opportunity of firearms laws in the United States and purchased hundreds of thousands of weapons to use in their drug wars. The border states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas have differing laws to control the populations access to firearms. For example, California has an outright ban on weapons with a detachable magazine holding more than ten rounds of ammunition and…

able to own a gun? I feel that homeowners should all conceal a firearm in their home for protection and self-defense purposes. According to the unknown author’s “Gun Control Laws,” it says that it is easier for criminals to buy weapons. When people buy guns, sellers should be stricter on background checks so that criminal and convicted felons should not have the right to own firearms. Also it says that a lot of people only buy firearms for protection and sports. If someone were to purchase…

The Second Amendment: America holds a rich history of firearms. One can even claim that without firearms America would not be what it is today. Currently America has never been more split on the idea of firearm ownership. With a variety of pros and cons for Gun Control and Pro-Gun groups both with partisan ties within congress the same questions always appear: Who is entitled to the Second Amendment? Is there a real correlation between gun control and controlling crime? Where does our nation…

not address the safety concerns with gun violence. The Second Amendment should remain in the Constitution. However, there should be a federal or state law requiring that individual gun owners who reside with someone who legally cannot possess a firearm must have a secure safe for their guns. The Second Amendment needs to be kept and has been a part of our constitution since the nation was founded. The Second Amendment was adopted…

defence firearm, they should be properly trained so that they can protect themselves and their loved ones. To help people become more knowledged in gun safety, some firearm products should come with a color-coded manual for easy reading (Gregg). Since people would have a more easy-to-read manual, they would be more inclined to read it (Gregg). There are even built in safeties in the Australian-made Glock, a common and popular handgun, it is a safety so that if the firearm is dropped, the firearm…

There are also about 80,000,000 gun owning citizens. “The police, on average, have an error rate of about 11% when responding to a crime, meanwhile, armed citizens have an average error rate of only 2%” (Newsweek, 3/13/10). Having possession of firearms in the hands of everyday citizens, is statistically proved to prevent death or any kind of harm.“The police respond and kill around 600 criminals a year, while armed citizens kill around 1,600” (Guns in America, n.d.). “On average, 14.3 deaths…

Gun Free Schools, students would be too afraid of their peers with firearms to be able to speak a controversial or disagreeable opinion (Students for Gun Free Schools 158). However, concealed handguns would not detract from a healthy learning environment. The whole point of carrying a concealed weapon is so that no one knows it is on your person, meaning students wouldn’t even realize they’re sitting next to someone with a firearm (Students for Concealed Carry on Campus 170). This is the same in…
