Gun Ban
To all gun owners and american citizens if you're reading this and are a gun owner read this because stuff if going on in this country that needs addressing like knowing that Dianne Feinstein and Barack Obama are trying to put a ban on assault weapons for american citizens

in this ban they are going to try to ban any and all ar style rifles or ak style rifles. any rifle or pistol that has more than 5 rounds rifle any detachable magazine they are going to try to ban any military style looking rifle they are going to ban. is it good or is it bad that they are banning this that is a decision to whomever the reader is to make on their own because everybody has an opinion and i am just giving facts and trying not to be biased

This is not a new ban it has already been tried in 1994 by the Clinton administration they banned any bayonet lug nuts any ar style rifles and ak style pretty much the same stuff except the companies who made these guns found a way to bypass the law they found loopholes around the law. so the gun ban didn't work like they thought it would it actually increased crime rate.

Thats why Dianne Feinstein and Barack Obama are trying to ban them again except this time they are going to close the loopholes and make the law stricter because they had insider knowledge on the previous gun ban and knew how people got around it.

so now they know how to word the ban and make it really detailed so that there isn't any loopholes like instead of saying ar15 rifles and banning them they will word it that any and all military looking ar style or high capacity rifles that are semi automatic will be banned.

Before when they worded it ar15 rifles the company were able to take some of the features they banned off like bayonet lugs and flash hiders and then they named them something different then ar15 because that made them completely legal. that is why the ban didn't work according to Dianne Feinstein because people were still able to get

    As far as banning certain types of guns, that statement was made out of pure ignorance. Mills has written things like, “It is a moral outrage and national disgrace that civilians can legally purchase weapons designed to kill people with brutal speed and efficiency.” First off if you’re going to talk about guns, know a little something about them. There are people like Mills who want to ban “assault weapons” because they believe that they are uniquely dangerous firearms that are equal to the destruction of a machine gun. False! The assault weapons that are available to civilians are like another semi-automatic weapon, they fire one bullet with one pull of the trigger. They’re not stronger, faster or anything else, what sets them apart is the…

    Pro-gunners disagree on the limits of this bill: some people believe it should be absolute, and any and all arms should be legal. Some pro-gunners draw what seems to be obvious limitations, for instance, the owning of a nuclear weapon or other weapon of mass destruction should be illegal. Some go even further, and declare that such heavy military equipment such as tanks, bazookas, etc., should be illegal, and then some believe that reasonable controls on items such as automatic machine guns are all right.…

    Currently the ban on assault rifles got out voted and is not a main issue, now what is still open and active is trying to take away any magazine for any weapon that holds greater than ten rounds. I am an avid and advanced gun shooter and owner, I believe that if that will make people happy taking away magazine capacity then let them. Taking that away will not stop shooting and or violence in any way through my eyes is useless. I do feel that the common weekend shooters do not need such huge magazine capacity and will help to possible limit damages done during a hostile shooting. Also the other main issue that I feel will help in the gun world and that should be enforced is a greater and more in depth background check than the current one that…

    S.150, Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban was proposed in response to the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut where a shooter went on a rampage killing several students and teachers with a high powered, high capacity riffle. Lawmakers want to stop the manufacturing of high capacity weapons which will make the repeating of tragedies like the one seen in Newtown that much harder. Currently there is no federal law which restricts the round capacity of a weapon. However with gun laws so diverse around the nation it is a good possibility that states have their own round capacity laws for firearms. Several states has had and has Assault Weapons Bans in place, but each differing in what guns qualify as an assault rifle. There was also one a federal assault weapons ban which was enacted in 1994 and expired in 2004. The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was criticized for being too easy to get around thus it was not reinstated (“Assault”). The main issue for this bill is the US Constitution’s Second Amendment, which gives the American public the right to bear arms. It is such a problem because Feinstein’s Assault Weapons…

    Every Time there is a violent crime involving guns the media and public leaders blame guns and not the person accused of committing the crime FBI conducted an experiment and people were likely to be killed by a handheld object five times more than a rifle. Banning guns will affect only the law abiding citizens not criminals. Criminals don't follow the law that's why they are called criminals. If you're going to outlaw guns then might as well ban everything on market that can potentially hurt people. Gun laws in the U.S. should not be restricted because…

    The Brady Handgun Prevention Acts, enacted November 30, 1993, made it unavoidable for anyone seeking to purchase a firearm without first passing a background check headed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The acts also made it illegal to conceal a handgun without proper licensing as well as put restrictions on who can buy certain firearms. A continuation of the acts also made it so that an individual must be 21 years of age to own a handgun legally and 18 years old to own a rifle or shotgun. The F.B.I. also keeps records of all gun purchases made in the U.S. and retains all information about the individuals who purchase them. The most critical act created in regards to gun control was the Federal Assault Weapons Ban passed on September 13, 1994. This act made it illegal for civilians to own military grade weapons in the U.S. which is critical in order to ensure that these firearms do not find their way into the hands of those seeking to cause havoc. There are a number of specifications that weapons must meet in order to classify it as too lethal for public ownership or not. The weapon must first meet a specific magazine size and bullet caliber. Statistically, the AR-15 is the most popular assault rifle available to citizens of the U.S. numbering in at four million owners. This rifle fires a .223 caliber round and is now sold to the general public with a magazine that does not exceed fifteen rounds. A caliber of this magnitude is acceptable in America because it is said to have a lesser chance to create mass casualties in a shootout. Smaller ammunition cartridges has proven effective for this as well. The action made to lower magazine cartridge sizes was an effective law passed by congress. Less ammunition limits the ability for mass shootings and in a sense it also helps decrease the chances of…

    Ban on "Assault Weapons"

    • 828 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Firstly as someone who has owned and used many firearms for many years it bothered me greatly how many people seemingly thought that by prohibiting the ownership of these particular firearms that there would be a reduction in gun violence when there is no empirical data to support that claim. Over the previous two years there have been two mass shootings in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown, Connecticut which caused uproar in the political climate surrounding these firearms. The argument proposed against these firearms was an emotionally charged one that targeted these rifles in particular because of the fact that they can possess higher capacity magazines and that they have cosmetic features that can resemble military style weapons. The argument was that these firearms are more lethal and that in the hands of the wrong person can cause greater devastation than other firearms however the proposed ban conveniently failed to mention that less than 2% of all firearm crimes are committed with rifles and let alone “assault rifles” and that of this 2% many are self-inflicted. Another is that the biggest mass shooting in the United States wasn’t even with an “assault rifles” or even a rifle, it was with a pistol.…

    These proposals for even stricter gun control than the ones implemented by the Brady Bill are all very much on the wish list for liberal politicians and advocacy groups that would like to bring about more gun control. These goals are admirable but there seem to be incredibly large roadblocks to actually having any of these measures implemented especially when there are much larger issues to deal with namely the quite sizable gun show…

    Thomas Jefferson one of our founding fathers once said that “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms only disarm those who are neither inclined or determined to commit crimes”. Gun control laws have been around since the 1800’s ,with the fist law coming into play in 1870.That first law about firearms stated that you would need a license if you wished to carry your firearms outside of your own home and property. Then in the 1900’s a law passed to help insure the safety of other. That law passed in 1903 and it stated that firearms could not be sold to the drunken or the mentally insane and unstable. Evidence has proven that more gun control laws would not be beneficial to the public and would not help reduce the amount of violent crimes being committed with guns.…

    For about a century America has had gun regulation, starting in 1934 when Franklin D. Roosevelt imposed a tax on machine guns and sawed off shotguns. The gun regulation has now progressed to a system that completes a background check and denies the person a gun if there is any criminal history. Laws are being promoted by congress to make it exponentially harder to obtain a gun for the safety of the public.…

    The United States has been a gun culture country since the day the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. After many decades, gun ownership had rapidly increased, and many lives have been saved with a gun.

    A November 2012 Congressional Research Service report found that, as of 2009, there were approximately 310 million firearms in the United States, 110 million being rifles. (Peters) So what exactly makes a rifle an assault rifle or assault gun magazine? An Assault Weapon is most commonly defined as a semi automatic firearm possessing certain cosmetic features. Most assault rifles such as an AR-15 fires a 5.56mm round. The bullet tends not to penetrate walls in close quarters shooting and can lead to an injury of anyone or anything that is your intended target. And an assault magazine is a magazine that holds 10 rounds or more. These military grade weapons are used across our country whether it is for home protection, outdoor activities, such as hunting, or survival.
