Why Americans Should Not Possess GunsJoin now to read essay Why Americans Should Not Possess GunsPicture sitting in school while people next to you possess guns. Though this may sound a bit farfetched, it can happen. Due to the second amendment of the Constitution, one has the right to bear arms. It is reasonable that people would want access to guns for the sport of hunting though. But allowing people to “carry” guns is reckless. Firearms should be outlawed because they have granted children access to kill easily, inflated the murder rate in the United States, were created to kill, and have inflated the murder rate in the United States.
The first, and probably the most important reason, is that handguns can easily get in the hands of children. Keeping them out of sight in a closet, or under ones’ bed may not be enough. For example, a couple years ago, a five-year old boy was shot in his head by his eight-year-old brother. The older brother located the gun under his parent’s bed. Thinking it was a toy gun, he pointed it towards his brother’s head and pulled the trigger. These kinds of unfortunate events have occurred all over the United States. Another devastating event was the Columbine shooting. In 1999, two teenagers went on a shooting spree killing a teacher, twelve fellow students, and wounding twenty-four others. It is sad things like this happen, but people should not be surprised. With the law allowing us to own guns, these types of things will continue to happen.
I agree. However, if you’re not a big gun fan, or a mom-and-pop gun owner, chances are you really don’t believe in concealed carry, so it’s not surprising that I’d say that this legislation is just one more step in a series of steps to allow states to have guns in public places. I’m also quite excited by that bill. First, there needs to be public access, so it might not be as easy as it used to be. Second, a state must provide a licensed police officer the ability to carry a concealed pistol on a public street without being a security guard, so it’s always a good idea to have some form of safety net, like a safe, secure place to store your firearms. This bill would make it so that any time someone doesn’t have the ability to carry the gun on their person, they can actually have a gun through a vehicle. Â
And lastly, the law must not only protect the right of parents to keep and bear arms, but the right of the children to keep and bear arms while the parents are working or working with government agencies or doing other work on their own schedule. This is a good idea, because without this, there’s no law guaranteeing a right to bear arms after birth. Some states have taken this step. In 2012, they enacted a law allowing the possession of handguns, so there should be one law available. Also, state governments will also have a duty to protect citizens’ rights if they’re carrying handguns in public. The National Rifle Association isn’t surprised either. But here’s where the point gets interesting. So long as the state’s gun law is good for you, and it’s good for government, then you don’t need a private law in your state to legally protect your gun. So while I’m in favor of the gun legislation, I can’t see any compelling reason why a state would not have a law that would protect citizens’ rights that’s good for them as well. The good news is that many public law enforcement agencies across the country would like to see a little more private law protection. The good news is that, if you don’t have a law to support you legally, it can sometimes be a very good thing if you’re able to obtain a warrant to try something more effective. It’s not like you’d get a lot of money if you didn’t have to apply for a license at all, I say. So here’s what i’m sure will happen. First Amendment groups would like to see laws like this enacted. The second great thing that’s happened with the passage of the Second Amendment in the last fifty years is the explosion of other forms of legal protection, and I don’t want to spoil this whole discussion, but I think it’s very important for people to realize their rights in the 21st century are not based on individual rights but on the ability of the state to enforce those rights. So the question that we want to ask is why did there be law on the books for decades to keep your guns inside the home? Are you thinking of carrying them outside of a home, too?

The second reason guns should not be permitted to citizens is, their main purpose is to kill. Back when Americans first settled here, guns were a part in how Americans survived. Guns were accustomed to protect Puritans against intruders and animals. The Puritans also believed that killing another was immoral, unless threaten. These beliefs still exist today to an extent, but morals, lifestyles, and times have changed. Today,
