We Must Be Put To an End to Gun Control in America

Gun-control advocates think that outlawing guns would have stopped the killing from ever happening. Pro-gun advocates think that it would have been stopped by innocent people being armed and fighting back. In order for an issue to even be at hand, both sides must agree that there is a problem with guns and gun control. Both gun-control and pro-gun advocates do agree there is a problem, pro-gunners say it is too hard to own a gun and the gun-controllers say it is too easy to get a gun. While using a point-counterpoint style to argue against gun control I will show guns are best controlled by good aim.

Should the government outlaw handguns? This has been a controversial point for many years. There are those who argue: yes handguns should be banned because it gives guns to the criminal, its dangerous in households and the Second Amendment was intended for militia. However, others argue that handguns should not be banned because they are in the second amendment, for self protection, and for the fact that they are already restricted so that not just anybody can own a handgun. Handguns should not be restricted because they are a right in the second amendment, they offer self protection and crime deterrent and that there are already restrictions put in place to control guns, and finally there are a couple of examples where handgun bans have not been effective.

Understanding Crime. Acts of the International Conference 289 Kovandzic, T. V., & Marvell, T. B. (2003). Right-to-carry concealed handguns and violent crime: crime control through gun control?. Criminology & Public Policy, 2(3), 363.

Given the statistics of vicious crimes committed in the United States versus the amount of firearms privately owned, guns are not the problem in our country and should not be banned. A great deal of society believes gun-free zones will help lower the amount of violent crimes committed in the United States. In reality a great deal of cities and countries that have strict gun-free zones report the opposite results. A British CNN reporter known as Piers Morgan is one of the biggest advocates for banning guns. In the United Kingdom there was a shooting spree in Scotland that resulted in a law banning private ownership of firearms.

Some people don’t think this amendment is still significant. Many journalists and reporters mislead people about gun facts and gun violence, thus, scaring the public from owning guns. It is important that our country’s second amendment does not get infringed upon for the major reasons of self-defense and for the safety of society as a whole. The American public is very misinformed by the media about gun violence in serious crimes and deaths. Listening to the television and radio, one would be under the impression that gun violence is a major killer of Americans.

Don’t change the laws, just enforce them better. Gun control is a very large and very controversial issue in our country today. Disarming civilians, though, is not the way to deal with armed criminals. The government should let us keep our rifles, shotguns, and handguns, because we have proven ourselves by means of a background check to be responsible citizens. If we ban guns, we lose our best chance at defending ourselves from criminals who get guns illegally.

The United States is the last country on the planet to have the free and almost unrestricted use of firearms. We as citizens cannot just sit by and let our rights be stripped away. Through the use of better educating citizens, focusing on the person, not the tool, and explains the benefits of firearms, we see why guns are such an important and integral part of American life. Educating and making people more knowledge about firearms is no easy task. When most people see an "assault" style of rifle, they assume that it is a killing machine, not a tool.

One of the most controversial issues in the world today, especially the United States is gun control. Civilians feel that crime will cease if there are laws prohibiting guns anywhere. Others say that guns are our only weapon used for self-defense. Many people stand for and against this issue and there are plenty of reasons why we should stick to one side. Gun control should not be allowed because not only are guns needed for self-deference, many people rely on guns for survival.

There should be some sort of a barrier to stop mentally ill, disturbed people, or dangerous people from obtaining dangerous weapons. According to Bobby Cervantes, fifty-one percent of the United States population said they did not want assault weapons to be banned. All guns but handguns are unnecessary and can be a threat to the future of our country. Based on my own opinion, I refuse to think that opinion polls about gun control are hundred percent correct due to the fact that many people wouldn’t want to say gun control is ridiculous considering the recent killings of innocent children. Many people are refusing to give up their guns because of the recent killing sprees that have been going on.

If a person obtains their firearms legally then why should they have to suffer because of a couple bad people 's actions? With gun control, how will people then be able to form a militia and stop foreign troops from invading and taking over the country God forbid the day ever comes. We 'll need heavy weaponry to fight back. In conclusion, gun control won 't work and the only solution there is that will cause chaos is take away guns completely. Law won 't work either because we will have to keep coming up with more solutions that won 't solve the problem the world has with guns.One reason, gun control will not work because it will not stop people mainly criminals from obtaining guns.
