Controversy On The Right To Keep And Bear Arms

There are and always will be people disagreeing over the controversial Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, however there are several reasons why the Second Amendment is beneficial to the community. The Second Amendment to certain people in the United States is seen as an amendment that represents their freedom. Some of the key reasons that the right to bear arms is beneficial to the community is that it allows for citizens to hunt and provide for their families, it allows for people to protect themselves and others, and can keep it so that the government doesn’t have uncontrollable power. The amendment also allows for the people to be able to go and buys guns and ammo. The amount of benefits to the community that the second amendment gives off is under estimated by many, due to the news and publicity always being very negative towards guns and their uses. If the news was to ever show guns in a good light making the public more knowledgeable about the controversial Amendment the opinions of the people might shift gears a little into becoming more supporting of the Second Amendment and the benefits that come with it.

     Are you willing to sit back and become a victim of violent crime or allow the government to tamper with your civil liberties? In recent years, anti-gun politicians have attempted to control guns in the name of crime prevention this is an assault on the Second Amendment rights of US citizens . The Second Amendment states, “ 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.” Not only did our Founding Fathers focus their debate on the right of people to keep and bear arms, they devoted energy to encouraging future generations to defend theses freedoms. In defense of gun ownership, Alexander Hamilton said, “If

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night to a complete stranger who is in your house, threatening to harm you, and your family, and you cannot do anything about it. Imagine, not being able to go target shooting or hunting, because there are laws passed to prevent you from owning a firearm. The truth is, more and more people in this country are trying to restrict law-abiding people from owning firearms due to the overwhelming rise in gun related crimes. As law abiding citizens, the constitution gives us the right to bear arms. Whether it is for recreation or protection,

     Gun control is a very controversial issue among society at present. Many feel guns are the cause of a great amount of crime. This has been an especially popular topic recently in lieu of the shooting at Columbine and other high schools across the country. Are these crimes reason to take away our freedom to bear arms? I do not believe so. The average person uses guns mainly as a means of protection. If limitations are placed on guns, they will only stop the average American from obtaining a gun. The real criminals out there will still be able to obtain guns through the black market. Every American should have the right to protect them self.

Suppose you are at home late at night when an intruder enters your home and threatens

Throughout the years there has been an ongoing debate over the Second Amendment and how it should be interpreted. The issue that is being debated is whether our government has the right to regulate guns. The answer of who has which rights lies within how one interprets the Second Amendment. With this being the case, one must also think about what circumstances the Framers were under when this Amendment was written. There are two major sides to this debate, one being the collective side, which feels that the right was given for collective purposes only. This side is in favor of having stricter gun control laws, as they feel that by having stricter laws the number of crimes that are being

The founding fathers created this country on certain rights and ideals that shape our laws and government today. These rights and privileges were written down and kept in the bill of rights as amendments. The amendments are the laws that our country was made on and are still in effect today. One of these amendments is the right to bear arms. Meaning the right to own and use guns and other weapons. This is a big topic of discussion today because it is said to be a danger to the American people, but many others believe that it is our basic right to be able to defend our homes and our families.

The second amendment, a now widely talked about topic. With recent issues in society, this amendment has become controversial. This amendment states “A well regulated militia, be necessary to the security of the free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This amendment was ratified in 1791 and is in the original bill of rights. In colonial America, before its ratification, the right to bear arms was considered a necessary due to their believed nature right to protect themselves and their property. However, there was a need to declare gun ownership as a specific right. This amendment have proven itself important to American from the beginning. At first, it prevented the new federal government from

Ever since 1364 when the first account of a firearm was recorded humans have wanted to control guns. Gun control would eventually travel with Columbus when he first came to America and set up the first colony called Jamestown. And there would be rules regarding weapons on the Mayflower compact.

The right to own a fire arm is a currently a controversial topic in the United States, with many pros and cons to either side. However, it is a constitutional right that the Founding Fathers gave the citizens for a myriad of reasons. By taking away this right from the people, it is a violation of their constitutional rights and limits their freedoms, which goes against everything our country is founded on. One reason why citizens should be allowed to bear arms is that owning a fire arm gives owners protection in the event that an individual intends to do harm. Another reason, is that farmers need guns for their way of life. Lastly, having a gun enables you to defend the country in the event that we are invaded.

Our founding father gave American citizens the right to bear arms, but was that the best idea or was it even the safest idea? Many Americans today own a gun and the majority use their gun in a safe manner. However, when the gun was first invented, it was intended to kill whether that be hunting, self-defense, or in battle. The gun is still to this day intended to kill and will always hold that purpose. Americans were given the right to bear arms in a time of need during the end of the revolutionary war, where there was still opposition from loyalists, in the early years of the country. Over the past two centuries, guns have become more advanced way beyond any beliefs of the founding fathers. Guns in America are not benefiting society but

Today in the United States there is an ongoing battle with gun policies. There is so much

Since I was a little girl, I remember hunting season; Dad and Katlyn, my sister, would come home to say they killed a deer. Even though I did not enjoy hunting, I still see how much they love to go; hunting great bonding time for them. My dad taught my sister and me how important gun safety is. He has shown us how to carry a gun properly, never to aim it at anyone, never put our finger on the trigger until ready to shoot, and always leave the safety button on until ready to shoot as well. In my house guns are always hidden or locked up in a safe, only Dad knows the combination, so no intruder can get to them. Guns are a very serious item. I was raised to understand guns are not something to joke around about; if they are in the hands

suicides, 36% were homicides, and 2% were unintentional (2%) (CDC2012a). Almost as many Americans die from gunfire as die from motor vehicle crashes (almost 34,000 in 2010). Americans under age 40 are more likely to die from gunfire than from any specific disease (CDC 2012a). While there are so many incidents involving Gun violence, there is not much being done to prevent it from occurring on a daily basis. These incidents have resulted in many people getting injured or even being murdered, whether they were young toddlers or a elderly woman in her 80's. Many people believe that that countries must come

Firearms are the most deadly instruments of attack. State constitutions of forty-three states guarantee citizens the right to use weapons in self-defense. Most states with this law believe that every citizen has the right to bear arms in defense of himself or the state. A study by the National Safety Council shows that accidental death by firearms is near the bottom of the scale among causes of accidental death. Accidental deaths involving firearms has decreased from three thousand in 1967 to eighteen hundred in 1986, and is still decreasing (Gottlieb 16).
