Reason's to agree with Gun Control.?

Question

I need help with homework......again.....so please anwser!!!

Answer 1

Compare the U.S. statistics against the stats of these other countries that have strong gun controls.

"Firearm deaths per 100,000 people (CDCP, Bureau Of Justice Statistics, 1998):

14.24 in the U.S., 4.31 in Canada, 0.7 in Holland, and only 0.41 in England (where not even police carry guns). Which means that if you live in the U.S., you are 40 times more likely to die of gunshots than if you live in Britain."

Overall Homicide rate per 100,000 1998

Canada: 1.83

USA: 6.62

The USA has 3.6 times the number of homocides that Canada has per capita.

Guns don't kill people. People with guns kill people.

Answer 2

I don't really believe in Gun control, persay. But I do think there should be stiffer penalties for gun negligence. If a person is responsible then they should have the right to own a handgun (not an AK-47!!), if they are convicted of a crime or their child gets access to their gun and hurts somebody or themselves they lose the right to own a gun. Seems pretty simple to me.

kscott) its not the accidents with the AK-47's I'm worried about. Its the correct aim, lol.

Answer 3

There is no reason for gun control. If gun control is ever enforced, the only ones without guns are innocent law abiding citizens. Criminals to NOT buy their guns at stores, they do not get background checks. They buy guns illegally and through the black market. So anyone that thinks gun control would solve criminal issues, is dead wrong. They will have to pry the guns from my dead hand. If they are so hell bent on banning guns, then by golly start with the criminals and that will be a never ending battle. I will NOT be in my home and criminals thinking that all citizens don't have guns. Does anyone think of the ramifications of that? Holy cow, you would see crime rates sky rocket. If more criminals think people have guns, then that would deter them more. Not completely, but if they hear me coc*k my shotgun, they would think twice before walking to where I am. Not all, but a lot of your democrats advocate gun control, but if we all look at the big picture, it will not work. Gun control will only take guns away from law abiding citizens, that's all. Heck, they have enough trouble getting guns from criminals, does anyone honestly think they could get them away from them with gun control? I highly doubt that.

So, sorry, I cannot give you anything that will agree with gun control. I see nothing that is good that will come of it.

Answer 4

I'm not in favor of gun control myself, but it seems to make sense that if handguns were banned (unconstitutional, unlikely, and very hard to enforce), there would be greater public safety since it's harder for a criminal to conceal even a sawed-off version of a rifle or shotgun. So criminals would find it harder to go armed, but store owners and homeowners could still have at hand the far more lethal long guns to defend themselves.

Chrissy, handguns are far more accident-prone by their nature than are long guns such as the AK-47. And what's wrong with AK's anyway? They're jolly good fun and the ammo is cheap.

Answer 5

There is only one reason for gun control. It would be so the government can suppress its people and not have to worry about people fighting back. Make sure you have a conservative teacher, professor before you turn your paper in. That is if you write this answer cause other wise you may be expelled only liberals like the ones in the high school in San Francisco are allowed to be liberal and express it without rebuke.

Answer 6

gun control is not open for debate, our second amendment guarantees our right to bear arms, and anyone who is for gun control is unAmerican, a nd a wossie, namely the Dem;s liberals,
I can 't understand how they think. one thing they say is GUNS KILL , has anyone ever seen or even heard of a gun killing anyone??? it has always been some one with a gun that killed , and they could have used a knife, a hammer, screwdriver, even a rock, yet they are not complaining about any of the others why?
the courts have ruled that, a cop is not obligated to help you , so what do you do for protection?? be like this idiot who tried to reason with this punk who was raping his daughter, had that been me I would have shot the S,O,B, or stuck him with my knife, I don't believe in trying to reason with some one who is trying to rob, kill, or rape any of my family or me, BEN FRANKLIN said it best, quote, ( anyone who will trade a freedom for security deserves neither) don't call your self a man if you are not man enough to defend your family, WITH A GUN IF NECESSARY

Arvis, where the hell have you been N,Y, has been one of the strickest gun control states in America for over 50 years, a long time befroe gillantia was around, and you are dead wrong about crime going down under gun control, every city, state has seen a increase in crime after they implemented gun control so stop
your lying, ask your self , if youwanted to rob some one , had you rather take your chances with some one armed or unarmed?
we all know the answer to that,

Answer 7

Some people tend to believe that by controlling guns, acts of violence will be lessened. This is not true, however, but it is a free country (thanks to the second amendment) and they can believe what they want to believe.

Upon hearing the statistics from his daughter of how many people were killed each year by guns and how she supported gun control, Archie Bunker had this to say to her: "Would it make you feel any better, little girl, if they were pushed out of windows?" . . . Paraphrased, since I can't remember exactly how the line went.

Answer 8

1. Limit guns in large cities. There is a risk when handguns are in apartment buildings.

2. Mandating background checks.

I am a conservative and do not believe in gun control. Banning guns in crime ridden areas only takes guns out of the hands of the good guys. The bad guys will get illegal guns whether or not they are illegal.

Answer 9

The second amendment is an anachronism written in a time when nukes and stealth bombers weren't even science fiction. The absurd idea that private gun owners can fight off the government or a foreign army is ridiculous. You don't have a right to drive a car do you? Why? For the public safety. Why should guns be different?

Answer 10

The second amendment refers to a militia and was conceived when our nation was a wilderness. There is no reason for the average person to own a gun today unless they hunt or target shoot. Guns are plentiful and our Homicide rateexceeds any other civilized Nation in the world. If you find a Hunter that uses an assault weapon he is not a sportsmen. If guns were eradicated that would reduce homicides a hundred fold. Many lives would be saved. Any kid can obtain a gun because they are so plentiful and because many States do nothing to limit the purchase off . Our children are bleeding in the streets. It is insane.

Answer 11

Reason number 1: Often times the crooks and drug dealers are better armed than the law enforcement officers.

Simple, common sense laws are all that is needed. The anti-gun lobby would outlaw slingshots and the NRA believes you have the right to own a shoulder fired ballistic missile. Somewhere in the middle of these two extremes is where we ought to be.
