Gun Control

My argument will be simple and to the point. Gun control doesn't work. I will provide my reasons and statistical data. I will also provide the positives to the right to bear arms. Introduction In the US the right to bear arms is a constitutional right. The framers and those who amended the constitution had a reason for doing so. Instead of banning all guns we, as a nation, need to keep guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens and take the guns away from the criminals and the civil disobedient. Democrats and other anti-gun ideology argue that it’s the guns fault if someone is shot. Pro-gun advocates will argue that it’s the person behind the gun that’s at fault. Banning guns will cause a spike in violent crime and an incentive to attack others against their will. Guns allow people to rightfully defend themselves against an attacker. Taking away that right will only lead to more violence. Gun control will result in more violence There are 30,000 gun-related deaths a year in the US. If gun control was passed those 30,000 will turn into knives or bats. People will not stop themselves from killing someone when they don’t have a gun at hand. People will resort to other methods utilizing knives, bats etc. The UK is one of the most Gun free countries in the world yet Britain is the most violent country in Europe. Britain is also statistically worse than the US and South Africa. In the US roughly 50% of households have a gun. This statistic acts as a deterrent to home invaders. If this statistic were to drop we would see a rise in home invasions/robberies. Not sure if you live in the US but two of the most democratic cities with imposed gun control, Chicago and Detroit, are the most violent cities in the US with some of the highest crime rates. Both of these cities are Gun free zones. Well its simple, if you take the guns out of the hands of the law abiding citizens then the civil disobedient folks will take that to their advantage. . http://www.infiniteunknown.net... . http://www.washingtonpost.com...; Mass shootings in gun free zones Mass shootings are more likely to occur in gun free zones. Most mass shootings in the past 20 years have occurred on school campuses (gun free zones). Schools became popular for mass murderers around the time when Gun Free School Zones act of 1994 was passed. Most of all mass school shootings have occurred after 1994. To stop these mass shooting we need to propose legislation that will allow schools to hire armed security guards. This will not only create jobs but keep school zones safe and act as a deterrent for mass murders. We need to keep the guns away from the mentally unstable. If guns were banned, people and the mentally unstable will find ways to inflict harm on the masses. Let’s look at china. China is a strict gun-free zone. Yet we find many mass stabbings. A man in china killed 33 people on a knife wielding spree. He injured over 120. That spree is just one of many.

The framers of the US constitution implemented the rights to bear arms to prevent a tyrannical government from being too powerful and controlling of its own people. Philippine’sDictator Ferdinand Marcos, imposed strict gun control almost immediately after he took office. Those who didn’t turn their guns into the nearest police station/military based would receive the death penalty. Like most dictators the purpose of these strict gun control laws are to weaken the power of the people so more power will be held to the central government. You can see this throughout Stalin and Hitler’s time as dictators. Putting guns in the hands of the people will not only protect them from other people, but from an oppressive government as well. . http://www.huffingtonpost.com... Gun ban in the US A gun-ban in the US will be impossible. There are over 300 million guns in the US, including both registered and non-registered. Taking 300 million guns off the street will be an impossible task. Due to the American gun culture, people will not abide to any form of legislation that will take away peoples guns. Gun culture in the US is the stronger than any country. Some might argue that we should implement a gun-buy back. People will not be willing to sell their guns. People won’t sell their drugs, even when that’s 100% illegal. Illicit drugs in the US have always been illegal, exceptions for some drugs. People will always find a way to acquire them and use them. The law abiding citizens will abide by the law while those who don’t will find ways to obtain guns. s://encrypted-tbn0. gstatic. com. .. ; alt="" /> s://encrypted-tbn3. gstatic. com. .. ; alt="" />
