The history of the right to bear arms, this has been an American tradition since colonist set foot on North American soil. Mass murders have been cause by guns does this mean we should only allow our military to have guns? I believe in the constitution we have the right to bear arms. It was written in the constitution for a reason. Without guns it makes our country weak. I’m not talking about just our military having them I’m talking about citizens not being able to have guns. We have the right to bear arms not only because of the constitution but also for our own safety. In many states they have a law set in place for people with guns. Such as Michigan, which is called the “Castle Law”, if an intruder comes into your house and threatens your family you have the right to shoot and kill without punishment. Not only do we need guns for our safety but what if another country comes in and attacks us? We have no experience of this other than Pearl Harbor.
Residents of Michigan have more guns than most countries do. I believe this is why most countries are afraid to attack us on our soil. Also the constitution was written not to be changed and was written by some of the smartest people. The public believes guns kill people and not people killing people but which one is true? When someone thinks about a gun what’s the first thought that comes to mind? Probably violence. No one usually puts guns with safety as most believe the kill people and that’s it. What most people mistake is guns have no power until you put someone behind it. A gun cannot just make itself go off it requires someone to pull the trigger. So with someone says that gun kills people its really just a false statement as a gun cannot kill someone it’s a tool to help you kill something. There’s a television show called “American Dad” and on there the main character is all for guns. His daughter hates them and says guns kill people so he sets his gun and sets it on the table and tells it to kill. As we all should know it did nothing, this is a prime example of how most people think.
The Essay on Guns don’t kill people, People kill people
Gun control in America is a highly controversial issue. American citizens who oppose gun control may not understand what they are opposed to. Gun control, though currently an issue, is not new to the United States. It began in 1791 with the Bill of Rights and continues throughout the years to current day. According to the Constitution of the United States, the Second Amendment of the Constitution ...
Guns are dangerous but only when they’re in the wrong hands. Should guns be illegal? Will that solve all the shootings or even reduce them? Doubtful, it may actually increase the shootings and robberies. Gun is what keep most people in their home safe and feel safe. If you took guns away from the people who actually use them correctly you would just be making it easier for the ones who use them illegally. I do believe we need better control on the illegal guns, as it seems they’re too easy to get now. We should be focusing on how to stop illegal guns coming here rather than focusing on taking them away from the people who acquire them legally. We have the right to bear arms this is our American tradition and should stay as it’s written in the constitution.
A gun is powerless until someone gets behind it and uses it in the wrong manner. The people who are using it “legally” use it for safety only and not to harm someone unless they’re threatening their family. The media plays a big part in how guns are displayed and only show the negative parts to guns. There should be better education on guns but the point shouldn’t be to scare people away from them. Better education and more control on the illegal guns and you wouldn’t see as many shootings as there are today. American citizens have the right to keep their guns and its an American tradition.
