Gun Censorship Research

Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British. But now as the gun shooting problem happening every day in America, this gun control problem has gradually become to a hot issue. Compare to other countries like Britain, Canada, Japan, China, the difference between U.S. and those countries is in these countries to get a firearm is a very difficult thing

“The right to bear arms”, an amendment so prioritized by our founding fathers that it earned the very second spot on the list of birth rights as Americans. However, with constant tragedies striking the United States, such as massacres in public high schools and universities, mall shootings, and attempted assassinations on state representatives, it’s no wonder law makers are constantly debating the topic of gun control.

Gun control is a law that controls how guns are sold and used, and who can own them. Allowing people to possess and use a gun with legal documents in the United States is legal. There have been arguments on whether or not is should be legal to own a gun as some people see it as beneficial and others do not. It is believed that guns are beneficial to have, and they are there because we need to be able to protect ourselves. We should not allow the government to have power over gun control for many reasons including the loss of tradition of hunting, not being able to protect ourselves, and simply because of the second amendment.

People who appreciate activities like shooting competitions and hunting, use firearms responsibly. This use contrasts with other uses, which often result in consequences that can be both intended and unintended. With past and present mass shootings, and acts of bloodshed perpetrated with the usage of weapons; has triggered a focus on gun control that once again has been brought into the spotlight. The purpose of the ongoing gun argument addresses the crimes that are committed with guns. This issue of gun control separated people into two groups: those who believe that carrying guns might prevent some crimes and fatalities, and those who don’t. There are individuals who believe absolutely the reverse: that more crime and deaths

ProCon.org recently featured an article that studied gun control. “Stricter state gun laws associated with fewer gun deaths, study finds.” The article discussed gun control laws in states with stricter laws tend to have lower rates of gun related homicides, and a suicide (ProCon para. 1) Gun control in the United States is becoming a wide spread issue and is becoming a problem everywhere. Although I am living in a city with uprising crime that has been skyrocketing over the years, I wasn’t aware of this being an issue all over the United States. I decided to do some research to find out whether I am in favor of Gun control laws or not. After reviewing many articles for and against gun control, I found out that I do in fact agree with

Abortion is a topic that never ends, until this day candidates are just trying to figure out whether they think it should be illegal. In the Roe vs. Wade court ruling the Supreme Court recognized abortion as a constitutional right. The question asks whether abortion should “be legal under any circumstances” “legal only under certain circumstances” or “illegal in all circumstances.” That is what people think about when abortion is discussed. Should be abortion be allowed under any circumstances or should we make new laws. Gallup asked people to classify whether they are “pro-life” or “pro-choice” and the results were evenly divided between the two. The change in the public attitude towards abortion for pro-choice occurred during the mid-1980’s

Swers evaluates whether female representatives in Congress are more inclined to support and promote women’s issues than male representatives. Using original data regarding women’s issue legislation in the 103rd and 104th Congress and qualitative data in the form of survey questions, Swers concludes that gender does in fact make a difference. After controlling for institutional factors and party affiliation, Swers finds that female legislators were more likely to introduce social welfare

I believe you’re using APA and you did a good job of doing that, but you need to put your title on your first official page (the page you actually start your essay). I also think you should come up with a better title than just gun control, I mean what about gun control, your title doesn’t give me any insight on what you actually will be talking about dealing with guns. Going through it I can sense what you are trying to convey but the title is a little bland. Also, you cannot have your reference page on the same page as some of your essay, so the last page needs to JUST be your reference page. Speaking of references, I’m sorry to tell you, but you have no academic sources in your essay, no primary source either. You just have popular sources. My advice is go on websites

Imagine a small, happy family with a mom, a dad, and a little baby girl. Now imagine them hiding together in fear in the corner of their house as a man holds them at gunpoint, robbing them of everything they have. They can’t defend themselves because there has been a recent ban on all handguns in the United States. Scenarios like this will happen every day if we allow more gun control laws to be put into effect. Guns are used in defensive ways 250,000 to 350,000 times a year (Barrett). Can you imagine America losing that many more people every year, all because they enforced laws that wouldn’t allow everyone to have a gun? Gun laws in the United States are effective as they are and do not need to be added to or changed. In order to truly understand why, it is important to examine the causes of the problem, the effects of the problem, and what is being done or what can be done to help solve the problem.

As we know, the world has been suffering from a firearm injury epidemic. Law makers have tried to put in place certain measures that would prevent the risk of using firearm in restricted places. The U.S. citizens have their right by the constitution through the 2nd AMENDEMENT to carry a firearm which has defined, “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.2 3”. Sanders, Pattison, & John K. (2015), As U.S. citizens, well defines by the 2nd Amendement above we have the right to possess a firearm (Federal Law), but we also have to follow the laws from the State that we all live in. No matter which the law presents itself, there will still be a

Gun control; two words that have many people on the edge of their seats. One of the most controversial issues in America currently, and it comes up time and time again when another person is killed from gunfire. Some people believe the issue is a personal one. “Let me have my guns,” they say. The realistic questions to ask them in response are; where will you get “your guns?” How responsible are you? What is your intention with these guns? Have you ever committed a felony? These are not unreasonable questions. In most background checks these questions are asked. However, there are too many loopholes in the system for these checks to matter. The majority of people who have guns aren’t getting them from the black market; most are buying them legally. A lot of people often buy them at gun shows as well, where, “Gun-show organizers say private sellers typically disregard the laws.” (Tampa Bay Times) The ethical question here is this; Is it right to allow gun violence to continue when there are proactive laws that could be enacted to prevent it?

Gun control is a very touchy subject. I don't believe that taking the guns away from the law abiding citizens is the correct way to go about this issue. The criminals are the ones not going thru the proper ways to buy a firearm. Right now there are 2 background checks that you go thru to buy a firearm. One is state and the other is federal. The Democrats believe there should be more background checks that potential gun owners should go thru. They also believe that banning certain guns and items for guns will help the issue. The most recent shooting was done with a handgun and a shotgun. There has been a big political debate over the gun control issue. How much is too much and how much is not enough? This is the real question. Some people feel

Abortion has remained a controversial issue since the 1970’s with Roe v. Wade being passed. Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court case, states that as a person in the United States, one is given the right to privacy of any personal medical decision which includes whether a woman decides to receive an abortion or not. Over forty years later, opinions on abortion has remained relevant. We can see a politician’s stance, being pro-life or pro-choice, is a necessary question asked by American voters. The side politician’s take on the matter can make or break their popularity within certain religious groups or political affiliation (i.e. party preference). In recent years, Republicans have tended to agree with pro-life and Democrats have been pro-choice (Adams 1997). The revived and revamped feminist movement has taken strides in speaking up about abortion and women’s rights. The rise of influence from social media and mass media have also educated and exposed young adults to the issue of abortion. So, we see how many factors have contributed to young and old people, including males, to form opinions on the matter.

There should be stricter gun laws in the United States. There have been 200 mass killings (four or more victims) in the U.S. since 2006 (Overberg, Paul, Meghan Hoyer, Mark Hannan, Jodi Upton, Barbie Hansen, and Erin. "BEHIND THE BLOODSHED: THE UNTOLD STORY OF AMERICA'S MASS KILLINGS." USATODAY.COM). The only way to stop so many people from dying is by enforcing stricter gun laws. It’s important to have strict gun laws because it saves families, and makes this nation a safer place.

Gun control. Now that I have your attention, I can dive into this huge issue at hand. As with most issues that become political, neither side is completely correct. Gun control is necessary to control violence but it must be done in moderation.
