gun ban paper

Recently in the United States, Congress has had the hot topic of banning assault weapons, creating new policies banning high capacity magazines and improving methods for Americans buying guns through the Feinstein assault weapons legislation. This legislation has sparked many issues with the American people that abide by the laws in the way they use and buy their guns. Americans and representatives that are pro-gun are against the legislation to ban semi-automatic weapons. Within the past month senate Democrats have removed the plan to ban assault weapons from the pending gun- control legislation. This is to focus more on the politically acceptable use of universal background checks. These universal background checks would be enforced to possibly stop the people that are not qualified to buy a gun and would hopefully make America a safer place. The issue here is the federal government already has checks in place, but it is said they do not enforce the ones that already exist. Since this legislation has been brought to Congress some states have taken responsibility and have passed laws on their own. This research paper will look more into the plan of this legislation, providing a thorough discussion and analysis of the topic. I will share how our Second Amendment rights came to be and some cases that helped improve them. I will be giving factual statistics showing that banning assault weapons in the United States would not necessarily decrease gun crimes and the assault rifle that Congress has tried to ban is not the biggest problem using an updated assessment of the 1994 assault weapons ban which lasted until 2003. Even though the bill was not able to pass the banning of assault rifles the Feinstein legislation still has many proposed plans within the bill that will be brought up in Congress. Over the years in our country there have been Supreme Court cases that have proven to be for the citizens protecting their Second Amendment
