Gun Control
Gun control
Does the banning of assault rifles violate our 2nd amendment? Gun control in America has been a controversial issue for years. It is a growing problem that has resulted in a lot of innocent murders, and school shootings. Many people think that if gun control was strictly enforced it would help reduce the amount of crime. On the other hand, many innocent people feel they have the right to own a gun for protection.
I’m going to analyze the quote, “Guns don’t kill people, stupid people with guns do”. I once heard Chris Tucker say it in the movie “Money Talks” before, and it’s also a slogan of the National Rifle Association (NRA). I will provide factual information on the United States Constitution, the NRA and the Second Amendment. And, this essay will discuss the pros and cons of being armed with a gun, the tragic effects gun crime had on Columbine High School and will conclude with my thoughts and opinions.
The United States is ran by a set of laws called the Constitution. It set the nation’s fundamental laws; it establishes the form of the national government and defines the rights of the American people. It also lists the goals of the government and the methods of achieving them. The second amendment of the USA’s constitution states, “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.”
With this statement, the founders of America guaranteed the American individual the right to keep and bear arms. The Second Amendment has been important to the growth of the nation. Over the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether the American government has the right to regulate guns or modernize.
There are two major sides to this debate; one feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control
