The United States is in a very unusual situation right now as most people know. We still haven’t come up with a president. The effects of the candidate we elect for our next president may change my life and may not. If Bush is elected, everything I believe and stand up for will stay the same. I really hope he will become the next president because he will ensure the protection of my rights. If Gore were elected as our next president, my life could seriously be effected.
There are several issues that Gore supports that I am very much against. His beliefs on abortion and agriculture are a couple of issues I strongly disagree with, but the main one that I want to address in this essay is the topic of gun control. First of all, I would like to state a few things about myself and my background. I was raised on a farm and lived there my whole life.
Both of my parents and there families have always liked to hunt. I started hunting when I was about 12 years old. My dad owns close to twenty guns. My grandpa owns about thirty guns and I have an uncle who owns around twenty guns also. I myself own three guns and both of my brothers own three guns. There aren’t many things my family and I would rather do than go out hunting.
We wouldn’t be able to do this without guns. If Gore were elected to be our president there would be a big chance that we would all lose our guns. He wants to put so many restrictions on buying and selling guns that it would be virtually impossible to get one. Now he may or may not be able to accomplish that, but he will surely push the issues during his whole presidency until he gets his way. Even with a Republican legislature, it can happen. Clinton succeeded in pushing a couple laws through Congress dealing with gun control.
The Essay on President Elect Obama
Barack Hussein Obama is recently President-elect in the United States. Born in August 4th, in Honolulu, Hawaii to Sir. Barack Obama Snr (1936-1982) who was born in Nyang’oma Kogelo in Siaya district, Nyanza province in Kenya. His mother name was Ann Dunham born in (1942-1995) in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. He has a half-sister on his mother’s side and on the father’s side two half-sisters and five ...
They might not have been all tha big of a deal to us, but it is a start for the Democrats. If Clinton could do it, who’s to say Gore can’t do the same. Gore thinks that guns are the cause of all crimes which is not true. No gun is the reason someone dies. It is the person using the gun who kills people.
No one can blame guns or the people who make them for what they are used for. I agree that they need to be kept out of the hands of people who have misused them before, not out of the hands of everyone. The right to keep and bear arms is stated in the second amendment of the Constitution. Ever since we have been a nation, we have been allowed to own guns.
This is a very important aspect of a country. If the government takes away our guns, who is going to stop the government from turning into a dictatorship and eventually taking all of our rights from us. This is exactly what happened to Germany when Hitler started taking over. He took the peoples rights and then took over the country. This is what could happen if things really went bad. We probably won’t have to worry about that happening, but harsh gun control laws could ruin the hunting tradition for me and my family and future family.
We can’t let this happen. There are billions of people who love to hunt just like I do, and people who support gun control are trying to take hunting away from us. There are some other effects of gun control that could come back on those who try to enforce them. Trying to take guns away from people who have had them and used them their whole lives for nothing more than to hunt and sport shooting could result in a lot of upset hunters who would be willing to do almost anything to keep their guns. I know I will do anything to keep mine.
Taking guns from people like me and other die hard hunters could lead to big riots and even people getting hurt because they agree with gun control. I know it sounds a little far fetched, but this could even lead to assassination. I hate to see something like this to happen, but it is possible if someone gets too upset and wants to take matters into his own hands. Gun control is a big issue, even one that could push someone to sacrifice their life to stick up for their freedom to keep and bear arms. They will fight to make sure they will always have their guns. And I plan to be right behind them.
The Essay on Gun Control Or People Control
One of the biggest issues in the United States today seems to be gun control. The government is constantly proposing legislation for more and more gun control. Slowly they are chipping away at our constitutional right to keep and bear arms. You must ask yourself: For what reason does the government want to restrict law abiding citizens from owning guns Certainly government is not so naive to think ...
I know that our country is pretty well split over the presidential race right now, but me and just about everyone else I know are strongly against Al Gore because we know we will not be free under his presidency. We will lose our freedom to hunt and to defend ourselves along with the trust of our government. Al Gore would ruin our government and our nation. It would never be the same with him as our president.
