2. Thesis
Guns should be regulated on their use.
Explanation
Guns are gadgets that are used by law enforcers and at times
used by the law breakers for various reasons. In the United
States of America, there are certain laws and policies that are
designed and put in place for the aim of regulating the making,
sale, handover, custody, modification, or use of the firearms.
Various rules and regulations are used differently in the
different parts of the world to control such firearms with United
Kingdom having fewer restrictions concerning the use of
firearms compared to the United States of America which have
very strict rules controlling the use of firearms. Firearms can be
classified into handguns, rifles and shot guns which are being
used in today’s world for various reasons. In the classification
of guns, rifles and shotguns are considered to be long guns.
There are arguments that the widespread ownership and use of
firearms has resulted to increased cases of gun-related crime,
homicide, and suicide (Lott, 2010). Other people oppose this
argument and claim that gun control does not decrease gun-
related grievances, manslaughter, or suicide. Opponents have it
that certain regulations violate individual liberties when it
comes to the gun use hence they should be allowed to be used.
Sub points
There are members of the society who claim that gun control
should be fully imposed for it has several advantages to the
members of the community. There are some of the arguments
that gun control will actually reduce the gun deaths and all
other injuries associated with gun use. According to the
research done back in the between years 1999 to 2013, it
showed that about 464,033 total gun deaths. The classification

3. of these total deaths had resulted from various aspects involving
the gun use. The deaths about 270,237 were from suicides
(58.2% of total deaths); 174,773 homicides (37.7%); and 9,983
unintentional deaths (2.2%) which amounted to high rates of
mortality rates. It is documented that the firearms makes the
12th leading cause of all deaths and if this gun use could be
controlled can lead to the reduced causes of death via this
method. The control of the gun use both in the United States of
America and the whole world at large will actually reduce the
entire death rates of members of the society.
The gun control in the United States of America and the whole
world at large will lead to reduced cases of violence. Violence
involving the use of guns may be used by the law breakers to
rob the members of the society. Robbery with violence is likely
to reduce its occurrences in the society when the government
will restrict the use of firearms (Spitzer, 2008). Less people are
likely to be harmed or injured as a result of the use of firearms
during certain encounters for dialogue will be likely to be used
method to solve such disputes as compared to the use of
firearms. Violence is promoted and encouraged by the use of the
firearms from the members of the community. If the government
or the bodies responsible would control and curb the use of
firearms it will automatically reduce the entire cases that are
reported to have been committed via their use. Violence in the
society is likely to be executed on the weak that is the old,
young and the disabled who are unable to defend themselves.
Violence contributed by the firearms is likely to be in reduced
rates when the government will involve the use of rules and
regulations to control its use.
Gun control will result into reduced cases of senseless accidents
which involve the children and guns as a result of carelessness
from adults. When adults own guns, their kids usually watch
them as they use the and at times the parents or adults leave
these guns and the children may be tempted to use. Since the
children don’t know how to use guns although some may know,
they take the fire arms belonging to their parents and then start

4. playing with them. In the process of playing with guns, some
accidents to occur which makes the children fire these guns
resulting to careless death and injuries to the unwanted parties.
If the government regulates the use of fire arms, it will reduce
all cases of senseless accidents from children due to the adult
negligence and careless. The use of gun control law will ensure
that families and children are protected from the injuries and
disasters that occur and this will reduce the total loss of lives as
a result of senseless accidents from children due to the adult
negligence and careless.
The regulation and control of the firearms will result to
peaceful and harmonious living in the community which is
contained in the constitution. The Second Amendment of the
United States of America, since the year 1791, it has been
against the use of guns without regulating hence controlling gun
use it’s legal and should be followed. The forbidding the
transfer of guns to Catholics, slaves, indentured domestics, and
Native Americans were all working towards regulating the use
of fire arms for it has several benefits (Goss, 2010). The Second
Amendment of the United States of America bans the use
firearms without any good reasons and this call for the
controlled use of guns for one will be fulfilling the law and
living as per constitution. Regulating the gun use is beneficial
for it involves fulfilling and living assist needed in the
constitution.
Controlled gun use means that there are responsible uses of
firearms by those who are only licensed to be using them hence
there will be peaceful living in the community (Andrés &
Hempstead, 2011). The government has only few licensed gun
users who are entitled to using of firearms in various jobs they
do or according to the special cases which them to be licensed
fire arms owners. This will lead to total responsibility of those
who use their guns and this will reflect by having educed cases
of gun-related grievances, manslaughter, careless gun use and
suicide among others.
Objections

5. There are some of the objections which are and work against
the licensing and the lack of government to control gun use.
There are opposing views which argue that guns should not be
regulated or controlled on how they will be used. The
government and the responsible bodies should not regulate any
form of firearms they should be left to the members of the
society to use them as they wish.
Guns use should not be controlled for they are meant to act as
sense of security. Giving the members of the community the
right to own firearms will be of great help to them since it will
be the source of security and safety (Squires, 2012). The simple
calculus of the gun owner is that their security is assured since
they can fight and counteract with those who might attack them.
For example, business people may be encountered by thieves
who have guns so for their safety they can use their guns to
counter them for their safety and defense of their commodities
and lives. By the government allowing the members of the
society to own guns will help in ensuring that security is
restored back in the society.
The government should allow society members to own a gun
since gun control does not deter criminal activities but
ownership deters criminal activities. The level of crime in the
world can be controlled those legal owners of firearms for one
will have to act responsibly for he or she knowns one day he
can give account of the firearms as compared to when the
government refuses to legalize gun use and they will be used
nay how for no one is responsible for firearms which is not their
legally. Government should allow people to own guns for when
they have ownership of them they are able to deter crime.
When the government does not actually control the use of guns,
there are decreased chances of firearms falling into hands of
unauthorized persons (Burger, 2002). . When many people have
fire arms which are regulated, the cases or chances of guns
falling into the hands of children and causing careless accidents
are likely to reduce and this will decrease deaths.
Reply to objections

6. The government should always regulate and control the use of
guns despite the advantages associated with the unregulated use
of firearms. Guns will always remain to be weapons of mass
deaths and this causes losses of many people life’s both
intentional and accidental hence their use or handling should be
regulated.
Conclusions
In conclusions, guns are very dangerous and they need care
when one is handling them. In some countries guns can be
legalized and in other countries their use is banned. Guns
should be controlled of their use for wen left to the members of
the society they can be used against the rules and regulations of
the country hence cause many deaths.

Assignment 2: Your Research Paper's Annotated Bibliography

7. Revisit the topic that you listed in your research proposal
from Module 1, and do some research. If you have some trouble,
you may need to narrow it a bit to find appropriate academic
source material. Your selected topic will be the topic for your
final paper in this class.
For this assignment, you need to complete an annotated
bibliography of the sources you are finding for your research
paper. As you continue to work on your project, add to your list,
so that when you are ready for your final draft you can remove
the unused citations and all annotations. After these things are
removed, and your page is re-titled “References,” it will be
ready to submit as part of the final paper. Here are the things
you should look for in a good annotated bibliography:
· You use at least three university-level resources that are
authoritative, correct, unbiased, current, and coherent.
· Your title is “References,” not “Bibliography.” Your authors
are listed in alphabetical order, and there is a short explanation
after every citation.
· Your citations are APA formatted (with hanging indent) and
each needed block of annotation text is in the appropriate order.
· The work is formatted in 12 point, Times New Roman font,
with one inch margins all around.
· You offer a description of the source’s usefulness: statistics,
clever quote, graph, table, fact, or other relevant information. If
a source is not useful, you note that it is not going to be used in
your paper.
