The National Rifle Association or the NRA is a national interest group, and arguably the most prolific and powerful one. This nonprofit organization was founded in 1871 and since 1934 has informed its members about any and all gun legislation. Beginning in 1975, the NRA has directly lobbied for and against legislation concerning the second amendment. The success and strength of the NRA is due to several reasons.

In “Why Gun ‘Control’ Is Not Enough,” McMahan argues that the United States should ban private gun ownership almost entirely. His most crucial claim is that general gun ownership does more damage to the U.S. than it prevents. Therefore, banning private gun ownership would minimize the amount of occasions where a gun could potentially be used for harm.

I think the worst recommendation is not allowing police officers to shoot at vehicles. I think if anyone in the vehicle has a weapon then that vehicle should be shot at. I think it would be best if the officers tried shooting the tires or something on the car, rather than shooting the individuals inside the car. Shooting the vehicle may cause the people inside to use their weapons so shooting at the vehicle should be done with skill and patience. I think shooting a vehicle before the driver gets…

Many mass murders could be prevented by making the process for being able to own and obtain a gun stricter. For example, if Michio Tanaka’s neighbour went through stricter restrictions there would be no possibility for him to get a firearm, which he used to kill Michio Tanaka’s wife. This…
