Topic about Gun Control

Were you aware that in the recent year of 2010, over thirty-one thousand Americans died because of guns? This would be equal to more than eighty-five deaths each day, three deaths per hour. What is the leading death in the major state of Wyoming you may ask? This would be guns. Have you ever believed that guns have gone too out of control in the US because of the lack of background checks? Gun control laws must be more powerful in the United States. This is because these laws play an extraordinary role in the number of deaths in the recent years in the U.

S., it is very easy for anyone to purchase a gun privately, and because people in the U.S. take advantage of the second amendment.Tragic loses are occurring in the U.

S. daily that involve guns. From using the most recent data, approximately 33,473 hearts have stopped working because of gun use. If gun control laws were more effective, this number would be plentiful lower. While some may argue that guns don’t kill people, but people kill people.

Therefore, people are the cause of the deaths although they used guns. However, with stricter laws for gun use, those killers would find it much more difficult to get a hold of a gun and approach the victim. The result of that would include a decrease in the annual amount of deaths. A harsher gun control law does not have much negatives, in fact it will just save many more lives.Purchasing a gun is too easy in the US today.

This is primarily because of the loopholes and lack of background checks. One loophole includes buying a gun from a private seller. In this scenario the background check isn’t required. States don’t care enough to try to make these private selling illegal and impossible and in all states. Although private selling is very hard to stop, there should be a law to enforce legal consequences for private selling. Criminals and crazy individuals find it very easy to purchase guns.

In fact, 40% of the guns changing hands in America are transferred privately without a background check. This increases the chances of criminals to commit more crimes with these weapons. It is terrible to think that even the mentally ill are able to purchase a gun with a snap of their fingers because of private showings. America needs to step up and enforce laws for private selling.Americans take advantage of the second amendment every day.

Yes we have the right to bear arms and yes those rights cannot and will not be easily taken away. But the point of the matter is that we have those rights to protect ourselves from violence not cause more violence and deaths. These rights should be more concrete in each state. In other words, gun control laws should not be as open ended as they are today because of the second amendment.

Reinforcement of laws will not only cause less violence but it will stop the confusion of these laws. Furthermore, I’m not stating that the second amendment will be not taken seriously but it is not a bad idea to take the second amendment in deeper consideration and make it stronger with the laws to create a better environment in our country.There would there be more positives than negatives in creating stricter gun control laws. Less strict laws would just make the country worse. That’s why gun control laws must be stricter in the United States.

This is because these laws play an extraordinary role in the number of deaths in the recent years in the U.S., it is very easy for anyone to purchase a gun privately, and because people in the U.S. take advantage of the second amendment. The U.

S. needs to stop and think about our future with gun control.
