Quick Look at Gun Control

Gun control has been a controversial issue for years. A vast

majority of citizens believe that if gun control is strictly enforced

it would quickly reduce the threat of crime. Many innocent people feel

they have the right to bear arms for protection, or even for the

pleasure of hunting. These people are penalized for protecting their

lives, or even for enjoying a common, innocent sport. To enforce gun

control throughout the nation, means violating a persons

Constitutional rights. Although some people feel that the issue of gun

control will limit crime, the issue should not exist due to the fact

that guns are necessary for self defense against crime, and by

enforcing gun control is violating a citizens second amendment right

to bear arms.

Guns are evil to some, because of the violence that they

create. People express guns as weapons of homicide. They insist that,

the more guns with which our society equips itself, the greater the

likelihood for accidents or violent acts involving fire arms to occur.

It is a proven fact that handguns have been the murder weapon of

choice. Guns are involved in half of all homicide cases. People

believe that society has relied on weapons that create harm and

criminals. Therefore, these weapons should be outlawed.

However, law abiding citizens have the right to protect

themselves against danger. Due to the ownership of guns, burglaries

have reduced considerably. A gun is a tool, guns don't kill people.

People kill people. The matter depends on who is using the gun, and

what situation it is involved in. Purchasing a handgun legally is a

complex procedure. The consumer must go through a two month waiting

period. These procedure guarantee the innocence and reliability of a

gun owner.

The second amendment states the citizens right to own and bear

firearms. Freedom to poses arms is a guaranteed citizen right. If the

constitutional rights of a citizen are violated, it can be a complex

issue. In the case of US vs Miller during the year of 1939, The

supreme court voted against individual rights to bear arms. Nothing

can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its

own laws. This is why all citizens should be aware of all of their

constitutional rights.

Enforcing gun control is not going to have an effect on the

crime rate, because it will not keep criminals from purchasing

weapons. If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. If a

person is willing to pay a price they will get what they want. Gun

owners have to protect themselves from these criminals, and all gun

owners must be informed of their second Amendment right to keep and

bear arms.
