Gun Control

I will be attempting to prove that gun control is unconstitutional and it will not fix any of the problems at hand. Argument 1: Our founding fathers made this country on a set of rights that would protect an American's freedom. Amendment II 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. Declaring gun control would question an American citizen's rights. Our country was built to protect these rights, and we should stay with the same modes of freedom. The idea that our country is able to question our rights can produce a pathway for other bills to question our rights. For example, Amendment I Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Now, if a racist guy gets a show and starts convincing people to start using hate speech against blacks, that would be wrong. Now, his station is not going to fire him, and he still keeps on attracting young people to racism. Now, since you have let gun laws such as the Ar-15 to be banned, and licenses, you have given congress the ability to bypass our rights as Americans. So, the government can ban this guys freedom of speech, and now has the ability to ban other rights of Americans. It is unconstitutional, and it would be a disaster to live in America. Argument 2: Problem will not solve: The reason why a lot of far-left politicians want gun regulation is because they want to protect the people. As we all know, the government cannot control personal behavior of its people as noble as the deed is. School Shootings is an epidemic that people blame on guns. Crime everyday would be blamed on weapons. But, what American society needs to learn is not to blame their problems on materialism, but blame it on themselves. Why are we having these problems. School Shootings usually happen when a kid is bullied or mentally ill. Here are two answers to these solutions. Here are statistics of bullied kids. 1 out of 4 kids is Bullied. The American Justice Department says that this month 1 out of every 4 kids will be abused by another youth. "Surveys Show That 77% of students are bullied mentally, verbally, & physically. "In a recent study, 77% of the students said they had been bullied. And 14% of those who were bullied said they experienced severe (bad) reactions to the abuse. "1 out of 5 kids admits to being a bully, or doing some "Bullying." "8% of students miss 1 day of class per month for fear of Bullies. "43% fear harassment in the bathroom at school. "100,000 students carry a gun to school. "28% of youths who carry weapons have witnessed violence at home. "A poll of teens ages 12-17 proved that they think violence increased at their schools. "282,000 students are physically attacked in secondary schools each month. "More youth violence occurs on school grounds as opposed to on the way to school. "Playground statistics - Every 7 minutes a child is bullied. Adult intervention - 4%. Peer intervention - 11%. No intervention - 85%. Here is an answer to these statistics. 1. If the kid is bullied, than he needs counselling and a good family. Institutions were trying to come up with ways to decrease bullying. If you have adults in hallways or in the playground, their is a 26% decrease in physical bullying. Private schools stress adults being around. 28% of kids that carry guns admit that they have suffered domestic abuse. The problem is in the homes. The collapse of family values empowers school shootings. Dr. Ben Carson notes in his book that he too was once bullied. Kids called him stupid and lazy. The reason why the Doctor is alive today is because his mother cared for him in his time of trouble. 2. Mentally Ill kids also need to have physiatrists. Evidence shows that kids have been taking medication that makes them suicidal. This makes the kid even more likely to do a school shooting. Scientists are working on new pills, but if the old pill does not go away, than school shootings will keep happening. http://www.wnd.com... http://www.martialartsforpeace.com... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov... Argument 3: Crime will still happen- The only thing America can teach us is that if their is a product in demand, than that product will still be bought through the black market. Prohibition taught us that if someone wants alcohol, than it is going to keep on getting sold. The mafia made millions on prohibition, and now the same thing is happening with marijuana. The drug cartels make tons of money on drugs. If the product is in demand, than the black market will take over. Guns will always be bought by the people that really want it. If we really want to address the core problem, than schools need to do more work.
