    • 8 Pages

    Abstract This paper will show that gun control laws in the United States have had no significant effects on reducing crime. Although the anti-gun lobby supposes that passing more stringent laws will reduce the level of crime it will be shown that this just places additional hardships on the law abiding citizens of the United States. The work of various studies and reports from the United States government and private foundations will be the mainstay supporting concepts of this paper.

    Why is gun control the supposed “cure” for crime? Why is there always this need to blame guns for people’s crimes? If this theory is correct‚ then the belief that pencils cause grammatical errors is also true; wait‚ that doesn’t sound right‚ does it? Now‚ all of a sudden when the “cure” is used in this light it becomes ridiculous. In fact‚ Americans have a constitutional right to own handguns‚ and stricter laws and licensing will not effectively save lives. Guns kill people? What gave somebody that

    Proposed Ban on “Assault Weapons” For my recent controversial legal topic I have selected the failed proposed ban on “assault weapons” that appeared before congress this past spring.

    If there were stricter gun laws would violent crimes go down? Gun laws have a direct effect on the rate of violence. I believe that violence in general would go down if guns laws were more strict. For instance‚ loose guns laws have produced mass shootings. This leads me to believe that there would be less violence with stricter gun laws . These laws would include extensive background checks on the people who buy the guns‚ longer waiting periods‚ and mental health evaluations to ensure
