Gun Control Does Not Control Criminals
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" (Bill of Rights, Article II).
This seemingly simple phrase is probably the source of more debate and argument than any other single sentence in American history. The argument is not black and white, rather, it encompasses many shades of gray. At the one end of the spectrum you have the National Rifle Association (NRA) which currently views any type of gun control as an infraction against the Second Amendment of the Constitution ("What is the NRA" 1). At the other end of the spectrum you have groups like the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) and Handgun Control, Inc. seek to make most firearms accessible only to law enforcement and the military("CSGV" 1). In the middle there are organizations such as the American Firearms Association, who seek compromise regarding our rights (Lissabet, "Return" 2). Some organizations that one would expect to participate in this debate are noticeably quiet. One such group is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In "The ACLU on Gun Control", the national ACLU policy is neutrality (1).
All factions in this debate have some merit, some more than others. All use a mixture of facts, figures, and emotions to express their views. I will be presenting some of their history, their views, and how they make their cases.
The NRA is perhaps the most well known of the participants. They were formed after the Civil War, in 1871, as an organization dedicated to the rifle marksmanship of the state Militias. This was due to Union Army's lack of marksmanship. Following World War II, many returning veterans joi...

- Persuasive Essayanalytical essayBe that as it may, some people say the 2nd Amendment is outdated and has outlived its usefulness. They believe that it is outdated and not needed anymore. It does not protect an individual’s right to “keep and bear arms”(Shmoop Editorial Team). It has nothing to do with individual rights. The 2nd Amendment has virtually no contemporary significance. In addition, some say that states should have the ability to decide the laws they want around guns instead of having a national standard 2nd amendment “need for well - regulated militias as evidence of anachronism” (Staff,NPR). As well of this, they say the government should have stricter control over firearms. The government should keep an eye out for people who have guns in their possession because they can make many mistakes and problems with firearms. For example, in Sandy Hooks an unknown person invaded a school and killed about 26 people in total. Officials claim that the intruder had three guns and shot at anyone mercilessly. (Sandy Hooks Elementary Shooting). No one knows where he obtained these weapons but in any case, having three is still a crime. It is understandable that humans fear the sight and touch of guns and weapons because of the stories they heard on the radio or TV. But even so, if these weapons can save lives, why not use them for good instead of storing and taking them away from the peop...

964 wordsRead More - Informative Speech For Gun Ownershipanalytical essayProfessional champions of civil rights and civil liberties have been unwilling to defend the underlying principle of the right to arms. Even the conservative defense has been timid and often inept, tied less, one suspects, to abiding principle and more to the dynamics of contemporary Republican politics. Thus a right older than the Republic, one that the drafters of two constitutional amendments the Second and the Fourteenth intended to protect, and a right whose critical importance has been painfully revealed by twentieth-century history, is left undefended by the lawyers, writers, and scholars we routinely expect to defend other constitutional rights. Instead, the Second Amendment’s intellectual as well as political defense has been left in the unlikely hands of the National Rifle Association (NRA). And although the NRA deserves considerably better than the demonized reputation it has acquired, it should not be the sole or even principal voice in defense of a major constitutional provision.

1409 wordsRead More - Gun Control is NOT the Solutionanalytical essayCentral in the arguments against gun control is its ability to restrict any citizen of the United States the right to own guns which is protected under the constitution. Specifically, due recognition is made to its connection to the 2nd Amendment wherein it seeks to protect the individual liberties of people. This facet also applies to gun ownership regardless of the original objective and intention. “The second amendment from the Bill of Rights grants private citizens the right to bear arms. Thus, people who stand firmly against gun control insist that no legislation, technically, should have the right to take away a citizen’s guns without first repealing the amendment in question” (Groberman 1). A good approach to consider in highlighting this part comes from depriving the citizen of his basic right on the basis of specific presumption that it would be used for violence or crim...
