Gun control laws in America
On December 14, 2012, 28 students and teachers were shot and killed in an elementary school. If the Gun laws in America were stricter, the man who
committed this crime may not have been able to get his hands on a firearm. The gun laws in America are way too lenient. Changing the gun laws to
make it harder to obtain a gun would help protect our country and cause death rates to decrease. The Gun laws today make it incredibly easy to
purchase a gun. At a licensed gun store,all someone has to do is walk in and fill out some paperwork, then wait for a background check to be ran on
themselves.(4). Accorrding to Money.cnn.com this backround check denies less than 1% of people who take it. This means that out of one hundred
million gun buyers only seven hundred thousand people are denied(4). Another way to purchase a gun is through a gun show. Gun shows occur almost
weekly around the U.S. At a gun show, no background check is required to purchase a gun(4). This takes away the one true element of protection we
have from criminals buying guns. Pbs.org says that "almost all guns used in criminal acts enter circulation...show more content...
Between the dates of 1999 and 2013 there were 464,033 gun deaths(2). Guns also were the leading cause of death in homicides and suicides(2).
Making stricter gun laws could prohibit people from owning guns, also making the death rates decrease and prevent homicides and suicide. To
purchase a gun in the future you should have to take a strict background test, take classes to get a license, and give reasons why you need a gun. Also,
the gun show loophole should be taken away, restricting people the right to buy guns at a gunshow without any checks. According to Procon.org, " An
average 200 people go to hospitals every day with gunshot wounds. Stricter gun laws could prevent this from happening in the

The most developed country with the highest amounts of gun related deaths is the United States. This is understandable due to the amount of shootings
that occur in the country ranging from local miniscule headlines to massacres. However the public agrees, the reason for most of these shootings is
due to lack of control on the gun buying process that our government enacted. Governments should have stricter and more controlled gun laws to
diminish the amount of yearly homicides. First, stricter gun laws are beneficial because it limits the amount of damage a shooter can inflict on a
community. The recent shooting in an Orlando gay nightclub which claimed over fifty lives and injured hundreds was enacted with only one shooter.
As due to our...show more content...
A recent example of this was at a night screening of a Hollywood blockbuster where a deranged shooter by the name of James Holmes, who pleaded
for insanity in court, open fired into the crowd of movie goers once again killing many in the process. The reports have concluded that Holmes was
mentally unstable and should have been rejected for getting any type of weapon, unfortunately the sequence of events did not transpire in that fashion.
This is not the only time when the United States failed to uphold the peace of gun violence in the country as in recent history a police officer was
shot and euthanized by a war veteran ailing from PTSD. The reason why he was able to keep his weapon was due to his military service but they did
not take away his weapon due to the fact the government do not check the people that already possess weapons for any mental anomalies. Therefore if
the laws controlled more on owning a firearm then lives like this could have been saved and perhaps gun violence would diminish. The existence of
more controllable and stricter gun laws in the United States can save the lives of many every year. As today, the people allow themselves to buy
weapons that were meant beyond the capabilities of selfâprotection. Along with the idea that people who own a gun and are psychologically unsound

3. Gun Laws And Legislation Summary
This week in our reading we focused on Chapter 1 of the SSM 200 course text, Gun Laws and Legislation. While this isn't the most exciting subject to
be reading about it's an area ANYONE in the firearms industry needs to be well educated in. With the current political environment having so many
antiâgun players shaping and forming red tape, violating any laws/regulations can have very serious legal ramifications.
Our course text began by stating that "One of the most difficult issues confronting firearms businesses and firearms owners is the need for fully trained,
competent gunsmiths." The author went on to make a point that "unfortunately, there are many people out there, some of them federal licensees, who
claim to be gunsmiths but have very little knowledge or skills in that area. Gun owners often complain that these people hold their guns for
unreasonable periods of time and, when they finally get them back, the necessary repairs have either been made poorly or not made at...show more

However, these laws are modified frequently." We were also given an explaination of what publications we can utilize to find particular firearms
regulations in order to educate ourselves. Certain terminology was also broken down in a way that was quite easy to understand... One of the more
important thing covered in my mind was the definition of what a prohibited person is. It was stated that a person could be prohibited from owning
firearms for many reasons, including but not limited to Having been convicted in any court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term
exceeding 1 year, Has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to a mental institution, Has been discharged from the armed
Forces under dishonorable conditions, and Has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence or where the underlying charge was one

Strict gun laws lead to more gun violence and crime in America. Guns are very dangerous and can be used for harmful reasons, but guns can also be
good for America and can be used for protection and safety. These issues are very serious and can be detrimental which leads to the question, should
our nation's gun laws be changed.
Americans have been facing a major crisis for a while, guns. Gunâ related crimes have been plaguing America, especially most major cities. Chicago
has the highest murder rate in America, but Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in America. The reason that so many people are getting killed
in Chicago is because the law abiding citizens who would acquire guns for protection, have a hard time acquiring guns due to Chicago's laws, but the
people who want to use guns for crimes are willing to go to extreme heights to get a gun. Guns will continue to be an issue in America if our current
gun laws are not changed.
Multiple political figures and citizens of America believe that the solution to America's gun issue is to make gun laws more lenient. People believe
that if America increases the amount of guns accessible to the average citizen then America's streets will be safer, and there will be less gun violence.
This fact is backed by Most political figures and citizens who want more guns in America, as they want them for one large reason, self defense. To
support this, author William J Bennett wrote an article supporting the claim that gun laws should

With many recent school shootings the question, should gun privileges be taken away, has been raised. Each year an estimated 4.5 million firearms
are sold in the US alone. Around 30,000 deaths occur due to firearms annually. Research from NBC news reveals that 1/2 of the death are between the
age of 18 â 35. A common belief is that if guns are taken away less violence will occur.Gun control will not stop the mass shootings. Most of the
public shootings are committed by people that are mentally ill or are on strong anti depressant medicine. Telling the public to hand over their guns

Most people believe that if guns were seized crime would come to an abrupt halt. This is not the case. Law abiding citizens would indeed hand their
guns over, but criminals and people who plan to do harm with guns would keep them. This would do nothing except give them an advantage. Criminals
would be able to commit more crimes and get away with them. They would have more control of the situation knowing theres nothing the citizen could
do to harm them. Research finds that in most countries where gun control laws have been put in place, they do not have any lower death rates. In
Norway 32% of households have guns, yet they have the lowest murder rate. Guns are a mustâhave to feel truly safe. Never will gun control stop
violence. Gun control will leave citizens completely dependent on the government. Without being able to rely on yourself for safety we must rely on
the government. The government is trying to take our 2nd amendment right away so we are defenseless, which will give them the power they so

likely to kill themselves with a gun. I was giveing facts of what people who are pro gun control would say. But these things happen because
background checks are not done that tell the gun clerk if the person buying it has a mental issue. The person buying it should also be made to take a

Guns laws in America are one of the most controversial topics today that are dividing many U.S. citizens. Many people are ignorant to what new gun
laws will enforce and what statistical data shows about gun violence. Future Gun laws will be used to control guns in America, making it restricted to
own and buy weapons. Although some people say that stricter gun laws will protect people more than concealed carry laws, the reality is that
concealed carry laws allow individuals to better defend themselves and their families.
There are many types of gun laws in America, one of the most important is the right to conceal carry. The law states that the, "...bill amends the
federal criminal code to allow a qualified individual to carry a concealed handgun into or possess a concealed handgun in another state that allows
its residents to carry concealed firearms."(public law). The reason this law is so important is it gives the citizen the right to defend his or her self
and family from attackers in public. Many people think that the police will arrive and stop a lone gunman but the truth is that, "The only thing that
stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,''( LaPierre) said Wayne LaPierre, a top executive at the NRA. Although some people say guns
laws help America recent studies find that gun laws actually do nothing to help stop the flow of buying, selling, and carrying guns.
Many people think that gun control laws pushed by the Democratic Party will help reduce the amount of guns bought, this a very big misconception.
The gun laws that are in effect now require a background check and age requirement, but according to Junior Scholastic there are,"major holes in it.
Perhaps the biggest is that many smallâscale sellers, who claim to be "hobbyists," aren't required to conduct background checks" this example shows
that nearly anyone can buy a gun and do not have to have a background check. Another reason why gun control does not work is that,"A criminal could
also resort to a method other than a firearm"(NRA). Before this great country was created men used swords, axes, daggers, bows and many other types
of weapons to inflict terror, murder, and other horrid acts. The guns and other weapons are not what kill

If we were to make owning a gun illegal in today's society it would have the same negative side effects but with an object that can be misused and

violence and increases in homicides individuals who follow the laws would be forced with the unknown every day. Law enforcement wouldn't have
the upper hand anymore and wouldn't be seen as an intimidation factor anymore. Police officers would no longer be a threat to gang leaders. If law
enforcement was no longer seen as a threat there wouldn't be a way to protect citizens from harm's way the leaders that would be controlling gun
sales would be individuals that no longer see law enforcement as a threat to them. This would start gang rivalries just like it did in the prohibition.
Communities would be facing new fears of gang leaders and increased criminal activities. If the country put out new laws involving gun control it

Out of the 1,289 adults polled, merely 8% voted that the laws should be less strict. That means about 100 people in that group believe that the laws are

protect the citizens of America by changing gun laws. On the other side of the debate, proâgun activists argue four main points: mental illness causes
gun violence, psychiatric diagnosis can predict gun crime before it happens, US mass shootings teach us to fear mentally ill loners, and due to of the
complex psychiatric histories of mass shooters, gun control "won't prevent" another mass slaughter. What this group of people is arguing is that
whenever you see a person with mental disabilities, you must automatically stereotype them as a mass murderer. These proâgun activists believe that
by providing an entire nation with psychiatric help will completely eliminate gun violence. Instead of curing the problem, they are attempting to cure

December 15, 1791, the day America's Bill of Rights was ratified, was the day the initial infrastructure for our country's basic rights were established.
Since then, firearms have been a highly deliberated topic. Even today, the debate over whether we, as a country, should institute stricter gun laws
continues to be an ongoing conversation throughout social media, the press, and within our governing bodies. But, since the approval of the Bill of
Rights, gun laws have continued to be restricted in order to protect the lives of citizens who reside in America. The initial catalyst for more rigid gun
laws was the horrific assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan, which also brought injury upon James Brady who, due to this incident, later became an
advocate for gun laws. Ronald Reagan's potential rendezvous with bloodshed brought about the initiation of Brady's law as a safeguard to prevent
another incident of this kind from besieging our country.
A big factor lending itself to the gun laws of today's age started with the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. On March 31, 1981 there was an act

13. Essay on Firearms and Weapons
Firearms are the weapons of choice for people who decide to use them for protection. Unfortunately, they are also the weapon of choice for criminals.
Since firearms are easy for criminals to steal, firearms are readily available on the black market; this makes firearms the prime tool for criminals. Most
crimes involving firearms are committed with the use of a handgun; this is a serious problem in America today. Somegun control supporters believe
that restricting firearms is the best way to protect citizens. However, restricting firearms fails to protect people because the laws are not effective,
restricting firearms prevents people from an effective means of selfâdefense, and the laws do not solve the actual problem, which is the owner of
firearms.
The restriction on firearms is an ineffective way to protect citizens. There are some cities that have employed firearm bans in the past, and the results
were very poor. On September 24, 1976, Washington, D.C. enacted a ban on handguns, the ban was later cancelled on June 26, 2008. Under this
regulation, no one could possess firearms except police officers. Evidently, restricting firearms in D.C. had little effect on reducing the amount of
crimes committed, and the number of murders actually increased by a great deal. Supporters of firearm control would argue this information by
saying that the data is one sided , and that it is necessary to take into account other factors such as the rise of drug and gang violence.

In 1892 was the first government step in licensing firearms. A basic permit for pistols was introduced in the Criminal Code. In 1913 it became a
criminal offence to sell or distribute firearms to anyone under 16 years old. Government finally recognized that children should not have possession of
a firearm. Until 1934 firearm registration was rarely an enforced offence. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police kept records of those purchasing
firearms. Handguns had to be reâregistered every five years starting in 1939.
It also became an offence to alter the serial numbers on guns as records were kept and gun transactions were being monitored. 1951 was the next step in
gun control legislation having automatic fire guns added to the list of firearms that were to be registered. A list to categorize firearms as 'restricted
weapons' and 'prohibited weapons' was created in 1968 ("History of Firearms", 2000). By this time police were become allowed to search and seize
firearms with a judge issued warrant or if they had reasonable grounds that the safety of the public was at stake. On August 5, 1977 Bill Câ51 was

Since the founding days American gun laws have been used as a part of some American lifestyles. When the founding fathers wrote amendment 2 of
