1443 words
Many stories like the following occur, but are hardly every published: Three robbers entered a Commerce City, Colo., residence, one of them pulled a knife, according to officials. The two men and a woman apparently had planned to rob an acquaintance: but the homeowner resisted the threat, drawing his semiautomatic handgun and shooting the two men. After the three fled, they called for medical help from a cousin's house. The police followed shortly thereafter. "As soon as they get out of the hospital, we'll be there to meet and greet them," said Sgt. Craig Coleman of the Adams County Sheriff's Dept. (rifleman) These are two of many different stories that are produced monthly by the magazine American Rifleman. Every issue gives 4 to 7 stories on how handgun's save lives everyday. There are many people who believe that a handgun can save your life, but there also people who believe that they are just used for bad guys to kill. The Constitution states that we have the right to keep and bare arms, but there are some groups that have decided that is not right. They will do whatever it takes to change Amendment 2. This year there was a new gun law added to the long list of gun laws. In Colorado and Oregon the law was passed with a huge margin. The law states that you can not buy a gun at a gun show without a background check, and for it to be a gun show there only needs to be 3 or more people. So, in other words many of the police officers in the world will now be breaking the law when the switch guns with other officers. For instance, there are four officers standing around at the police station, and a couple of them decided to try out each others gun for a day or two. Under this new law, the officers have now broken the law. Many gun owners say there is no need for this new law. The NRA and many other pro-gun groups did everything they could try and make sense of it to people. Even after spending almost 2 million dollars, they still failed. (Kleck). Sarah Brady, Chair of Handgun Control, Inc, was quoted when she said, " These two overwhelming victories clearly demonstrate that all Americans, including gun owners, support responsible gun laws which keep criminals from buying guns.

2007 wordsRead More - Argumentative Essay: Should Handguns Be Banned?opinion essayAs Benjamin Franklin once said, “they that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Seeing that I agree with Franklin, I stand in firm negation of the resolution which states Resolved: In the United States, private ownership of handguns ought to be banned. For simplicity in the debate today, I would like to give the following definitions: The Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary offers that a handgun is “a small gun that you can hold and fire with one hand.” I view the phrase ‘private ownership’ as ownership by people who are not officially associated with the state. The negative will support the value of civil liberties which is defined by the Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary as “individual rights protected by law from unjust governmental or other interference.” The value of civil liberties will be defended by the criterion of pragmatism, an approach that assesses the truth of meaning of theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.
