Chicago should be an example to those on both sides of the gun argument. The city is living proof that strict gun regulations alone will not cause gun violence to go down. Unfortunately for gun control advocates, the ban on handgun ownership in Chicago was struck down in a landmark case known as McDonald v. City of Chicago. Two years ago, in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. ___, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep and bear arms for the purpose of self-defense and struck down a District of Columbia law that banned the possession of handguns in the home.
Gun Rights in America The Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights grants Americans the right to bear arms. Opinions of this vary, but I believe the safety of ourselves and posterity are above all. Criminals throughout the US take advantage of this privilege and use weapons for violence and evil purposes that should be unspeakable to our world, such as murder, robbery, and torture. Owning rifles or pistols ourselves is the only way to counter these treacheries.
Where I live at now it is not much going on in Iowa. But where I came from which is Chicago so much has been going on. The gun violence in Chicago has increase over the years. Gun violence has increase stress on children and family because they are afraid. People are afraid to go outside, work, or to take their children somewhere.
I was “mildly” surprised by the news because I knew it was larger than the media and society made it out to be but had no idea that it was as frequent as an average of almost once a week. I find it asinine that people shrug this kind of stuff like, “Stuff happens, and that this is part of the price we must pay to protect our gun rights.”, as if it’s not it’s not problem unless it affects you. I don’t even see why we have so many guns here in the first place, enough for every person in the country to have one and then so is ridiculous. I, personally, have never appreciated or even liked the idea of guns, and this just proves my point that much further. To think, all this time, all this money and all these lives could have been a saved if they
Distributive Justice Resource: This assignment will examine guns and their involvement in our common good. Guns are said to be important for the common good, mostly when discussing people who are located in the south. “Self defense is a fundamental right,” says the National Rifle Associations Institute for Legislative Action.” —— This phrase is one of many that is referred to when people discuss the good that guns bring to our society.
What’s missing from the typical kindergartener’s backpack? A gun. The ultimate solution to gun violence is more guns, isn’t that obvious? We are in need of guns everywhere to the point where our nation needs armed guards in every school. They say the more guns we have, the more gun violence there is, but in fact it does the complete opposite and solves gun violence.
If Chicago can copy New York’s illegal handgun law which carries a three-year sentence for illegal possession of a handgun then it would actually scare some people away from illegally obtaining a handgun thus reducing the amount of murders that they person may have
This shows how guns can really threaten and endanger others lives in so many ways, and if we could make the gun laws stricter then, the amount of violence will be reduced by many. Overall, gun laws should be stricter to keep everyone safe and away from gun violence. Secondly, we should have stronger background checks for guns. Having
I understand about this since I happen to be a 19 year old college student and I consider myself responsible. But when I changed once in the public campus bathroom, I left my iPhone on top of the soap dispenser and didn’t notice until 10 minutes later when my pocket felt empty. Now consider all of the dangers that could have happened if that would have been a forearm and somebody found it, they could have stolen it, shot themselves or another as an accident, or wanted to kill someone. Students away from home have a tendency to have a destructive nature and the number of drunken violence’s would increase from what it is now with more deadly outcomes. Anti-gun individuals argue that television, video games, family history, mental issues, drugs, and alcohol can all contribute to gun violence and should be considered when discussing the issue of guns on college campuses.
Protests are a big part of the world people live in today. They have been around for centuries. How people handle their protests, is a great factor on how others respond to what they are hearing from the protesters. If someone were to use a bad method, more than likely they would not be taken seriously, and their views would not be taken into consideration. That is why having good methods can lead to others hearing what they have to say, and possibly taking sides in what they believe in.
In America, today, violence seems to be around every corner. With mass shootings on the rise, ordinary and innocent people are victimized. We watch brutality on the news, read about it on twitter, and even witness some atrocities in our own neighborhoods. When the bullets start flying, what is an average person to do? A portion of the population, of the United States, runs to the local gun an ammunition dealer to pick up a Second Amendment, Constitution blessed, piece of unholy firepower to protect themselves with.
Gun Violence In America Gun violence in america accounted for 33,636 deaths in 2015 alone and that number is only rising. If every american was able to obtain a firearm imagine what the numbers of gun related deaths. Even gun related injuries caused many more hospital visits in america what many other common incidents. That is why america needs to implement tighter gun laws to reduce the amount of gun violence in America. Without this we will continue to see shooting, gun death, gun injuries resulting in more and more gun related violence.
The United States of America, a great but very flawed nation is one of the highest-ranking countries in the world—which isn’t always a good thing. From its number one rating in areas like defense spending (almost half a trillion dollars in 2015 according to data from the National Priorities Project), to its astronomical and ever rising national debt (which increases $40,000 a second (The Telegraph))—America consistently comes out on top. Although rankings like these are upsetting to hear, the most frustrating is the fact that this country outranks every other nation in the world in guns, mass shootings, and gun violence. So far, there have been nearly 1,600 mass shootings since one of the most horrific shootings in modern history at Sandy
Gun Control Lately people have been using guns in a negative way and causing a bad effect on the world. People have been using guns inapropriatly and have been performing mass killings. If guns are being used by people then the people using them should know how to use them correctly, or not being a crazy lunatic. When I was 12 I was playing with a pistol and accidentally shot it, I wasn’t hurt and no one else was hurt but somebody could have been injured badly. Gun laws are the cause to a lot of the violent crimes in the united states and laws need to be changed so people can’t purchase guns as easily that way we aren’t in as much trouble.
Gun Control Gun control has become a polarizing and controversial issue around the globe. There have been many reported issues of mass shootings both in schools and in the public, making it a hot button issue. Proponents argue that, if the government strictly controls the ownership of guns, such tragedies can be prevented. Most Americans have an obsession with guns because the law allows them to do so. Therefore, they are always ready to scoff at anyone trying to control gun ownership.
