1. Essay about The Second Amendment "A well–regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." – Second Amendment. Throughout history, this sentence of twenty seven words has caused an intense debate. The polemic is that some people claim that a gun control policy is unconstitutional, while others disagree and even say it is necessary in order to reduce crime. Now, what does gun control mean? If it means to analyze who is responsible enough to own a gun by a "Universal Background Check"; that sounds right to everyone. But in the article "What Are Obama's Gun Control Proposals? An Easy Guide" published in the National Journal by Matt Vasilogambros. The author states that the "gun–control...show more content... Supporters of gun control claim that if there were no guns on the streets, massacres like the one in Sandy Hook could have been prevented. Gun control supporters also argue that arming everyone will not save you from getting killed. They argue that in a gun shooting everything happens fast and you usually do not have time react to the situation. Moreover gun control supporters state that it is more difficult to buy a medicine than to order ammunition online from your home. In the article "Just how easy is it to buy a gun over the Internet?" published in The Washington Post by Brad Plumer. The author explains that even though the Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits the direct shipping of firearms, there are sellers that are "willing to sell their guns even when researchers explicitly stated that they 'probably couldn't pass a background check' ". This shows the weakness of the current gun regulations and the need for stronger and efficient laws that reduces murder rates. Supporters of gun control say that banning guns is the key to prevent massacres in public places or institutions. If there were no guns, psychopaths would not have all that deadly artillery to kill people. Also many people believe that the second amendment is not relevant anymore. When the constitution was written, nobody, not even the founders thought that the nation would survive. In his article "Gun–Control Foes ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

3. Second Amendment Essay Second Amendment Essay Guns, used for a wide variety of things, such as hunting, sports, and defense. Though destructive, guns have their uses. But what allows citizens to own guns in the U.S.? The answer to that question is the 2nd amendment. The amendment states that citizens can bear guns, and that a free state should have a good militia. At the end of the amendment, the amendment states that it should not be infringed. Back in 2012 Obama was claimed to try to take away guns. Should guns be taken away from U.S. citizens, or even the whole second amendment?

Without guns tragedies may not occur both ways, in being attacked, and in defense. The second amendment should not be taken away because it also provides each state with an option for a militia. Over the past 5 years, that gap has rapidly decreased in all sectors. GPS and mapping tech, software, optics, etc has gotten smaller faster and cheaper at a rapid pace in the civilian sector, and in some instances –more user friendly by far." Militia's are a sort of small army, with very advanced weaponry that show that militia, and the military are very advanced. "Today, 23 states and territories have organized militias, most commonly known as State Defense Forces (SDFs)." (Carafano "The 21st–Century Militia: State Defense Forces and Homeland Security) The government being trusting enough to let multiple states have small armies shows a lot. It shows how the government and each state is organized. Militias also allow states to be separate from the government, but still be with the government. If each state has a small militia, they won't need help from the government, while the government still controls laws for how militias work. Some may say we don't need a small military, we have the army, or the police! But the army is more national, plus would take a longer time for help. The police help, but sometimes more power is needed, other than hand pistols. Without the second amendment, the whole country ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

5. Second Amendment Repealing the second amendment would not make America safer because it does not penalize the criminals doing harm but the law abiding citizens exercising their right to self–defense. As stated in the book In Our Defense, Zangrilli argues "the ordinance penalizes the victim, not the criminal." An ordinance to prohibit handguns in Morton Grove, a small town in the United States. The point of the 2nd amendment was to be able to balance the power of the state and the power of the people.

This equality of arms between the people and the state allowed for individuals to assert their right to self–defense. The ability for the people to resist...show more content... In most cases even preventing the crime from taking place in the first place. While the second amendment protected these individuals, it has also harmed others; According to 2014 Crime in the United States, Expanded Homicide, roughly 14,000 murders committed in the United States during that year, of these, about 10,000, were committed with firearms. While repealing the second amendment would have decreased the deaths, the criminals who are doing harm, will still find a way to commit harm with or without a firearm. It would give the criminal the advantage of knowing that the citizens do not carry guns and would lead to the criminal to conduct the crime because the citizen cannot defend himself. The problem with repealing the second amendment is that criminals would still find a way to commit the crime if the second amendment gets repealed. As shown in Criminal Victimization 2014, roughly 5.9 million violent crimes were committed in the United States during 2014 these included assaults, robberies, sexual assaults, rapes, and murders. 10% were perpetrated by offenders visibly armed with a gun. This goes to show that 10% of these cases did the criminals require the use of a firearm to commit these offenses. Meaning that the criminal committing the crimes would have committed the crime with or without the firearm when only 10% of the criminals needed a gun to go through with their crime.

7. Argumentative Essay On The Second Amendment "A well–regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." In our political climate today, there is an ongoing debate on the meaning of the second amendment. In particular, much controversy centers upon whether we should make gun control laws more strict like the laws in DC, or if we should make laws to encourage and embrace American citizens to own firearms and carry them in public, similar to laws in Vermont. In fact, some citizens wonder why we even have the second amendment in the first place. Now lets ask ourselves, what does the second amendment mean? Who gets to keep and bear arms? One side focuses on the phrase "A well–regulated militia" to argue that only people who are in a militia such as the National Guard have the right to bear arms. The other side focuses on the phrase "The right of the people" to argue that law–abiding citizens, whether or not they are in a militia have the right to bear arms. Who's correct? For further insight, the wisdom and prudence of our founding fathers proves to be instructive, as they lived in this influential time. In the Federal Farmer number 28, Richard Henry Lee wrote, "A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves." In congruence with Richard's thinking Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to James Madison saying, "What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve ...Get more content on HelpWriting.Net...

The Second Amendment has been disputed for hundreds of years on exactly of its exact true meaning. The United States Constitution wrote the Second Amendment as "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The argument that has lasted for centuries begins with the first part "A well regulated militia". Over the years, many of the nation's supreme courts have ruled in a lot of different ways.

I feel that James Madison's original version of the Second Amendment proved that the intent was for the people to have the right to keep and bear arms under the United States Constitution. I feel that when the version was changed it opened the door for misinterpretation. The next argument disputed for centuries is "the right of the people to keep and bear arms." Individual rights advocates interpret the word "people" to mean citizens as individuals. Individual rights advocates have also argued the meaning "to keep and bear arms" as the retention of personal firearms in the home, the free carrying of them elsewhere, and learning how to handle them. Collective rights advocates interpret the word "people" as the collective body meaning the American people. They also argue the meaning "to keep and bear arms" as in the military sense that soldiers "bear" arms, civilians "carry" them, and society doesn't need citizen–soldiers since we have arsenals and public barracks in the form of police.

11. The Second Amendment vs Gun Control Essay President Barack Obama says we have an "obligation" to try anything that could save one child, but many people find this statement to be ridiculous. Gun control is thought of as a government policy or regulations to control or limit the sale and use of firearms. In the U.S. constitution, the 2nd Amendment states that a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Some people think if they have a gun in their house, they will have a way of protecting themselves in case of an emergency, but while others who are against it believe it is a danger. For example, the gun could end up in the wrong hands, such as a young child. The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the United States that governs the nation giving America the rights and freedom. In a different context, Professor Amar's discussion of whether the right to keep and bear arms should be considered a "privilege or immunity" focuses on the Blackstonian notion of the rights of the individual. Liberties held at common law that fell within this concept of individual right constituted privileges or immunities. According to Blackstone, "personal security, personal liberty, and personal property" were the individual rights. Blackstone considered the right of self– preservation to be essential to individual liberty and, as such, the ultimate right. The individual right to "have arms" was essential to protect these rights (Blackman and Shapiro 79). The constitution gave people the right to own a gun, but others believe that we should not have that right.

It is about the right of the people in a free nation to use firearms at their own discretion. While guns may have been the weapon of choice in numerous mass casualty events, the only prevention and precaution would be to have armed upstanding citizens. Not to tell criminals they cannot use firearms. The Second Amendment allows Americans to protect their family and themselves in the event of a break–in or altercation. It also gives the American people the chance not to be oppressed. I have a very strong stance on the American citizen's right to bear arms.

15. Second Amendment Persuasive Essay The right to bear arms is a birth given right to all Americans by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. The Second Amendment has become controversial recently due to the technological advancement of firearms. Modern firearms are capable of both high rates of fire and greater capacities of ammunition, unlike the single shot muskets that were available at the time of the Second Amendment's conception. American liberals view these improvements in firearms as dangerous and unnecessary. However, no matter how dangerous firearms may be, the Second Amendment is a necessity for one factor alone: protection from one's own government and it must be upheld. The Second Amendment provides a physical tool for Americans to defend themselves against a tyrannical government, it allows Americans to form militias against a tyrannical government, and it allows Americans to maintain comparable firearms of the U.S. government in order to prevent the potential loss of American freedoms in the future. The Second Amendment states that "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed".1 It is important to understand that the Second Amendment was created in order to allow the American people to form militias in response to a tyrannical government attempting to suppress the American way of life.

They have been around for over a century and continue to lobby in Congress to help protect our Second Amendment. They currently have 4.3 million members that support the Second Amendment and other groups that educate citizens on gun safety. This group has made a tremendous difference on how our government and society views gun control and is probably the biggest reason we still have our right to bear arms. (www.nraila.org) The majority of gun crimes are committed with handguns and assault riffles. Assault riffles should be banned from retail all together, and there should be a more detailed process when purchasing handguns. The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act requires purchasers to complete a background check and a five day waiting period before they are allowed to purchase a gun. This seems to help so that we aren't putting guns into criminal's hands straight from the store, but it is not an overall solution. (www.nraila.org) The supporters of gun control want our government to eliminate the sales of guns to the public. This will make a tremendous difference as far as gun crimes are concerned.

21. The truth to the statement that "Texas has a love affair with the 2nd amendment more than any of the other amendments" is circumstantial depending on the interpretation of the 2nd amendment. The second amendment is the most challenged amendment because it is so vaguely worded and not straight forward. It reads "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." This somewhat incoherent statement leaves policy makers wondering whether the founding fathers were trying to protect gun ownership rights only for purposes of military duty and collective security or wanted to make guns accessible to all so that they could protect themselves. In order to asses if Texas' love affair with the second amendment, we must look at the second amendment from both sides of the interpretation. In the first interpretation, the second amendment is solely in place for the protection of gun ownership for military duty and security. If the second amendment is interpreted only in this sense, then Texas would seem to have an intense love affair with the second amendment. With this interpretation in mind Texas' support for individual guns ownership and lackadaisical gun control laws, is extreme.

23. The Issue Of The Second Amendment The Second Amendment is one of the most controversial amendments in today's society. There are commonly two sides that fight with each other over the definition of this amendment. The pro–gun, or what is commonly referred to as "gun nuts", have the firm belief that the American people have the right to not only carry a gun, but to carry any type of gun that they want, while anti–gun groups want to get rid of the right to carry a gun all together unless that person is a soldier or police officer. The part of the Second Amendment that is quoted by both sides is always "A well–regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Did you know that there are actually two versions used by the federal and state government? The only difference is the punctuation. Congress passed, "A well–regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free Sate, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed". The States ratified what Congress had passed to, "A well–regulated militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

In present day America everyone seems to have different understandings and translations of our constitutional right to bear arms. The Second Amendment right reads as follows: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" . The Second Amendment, which includes the statement "The right to bear arms", was originally written for the self protection of United States citizens from an overpowering government, such as the government we had just recently broke apart from, aka the British. Nowadays, the meaning of this phrase has been skewed by those against self defense and guns as; gun rights are for only hunting. Yes, this phrase in the Second Amendment can mean for hunting but the intention is for protection. Some individuals even think that it was just a temporary part of the amendment to keep our early nation safe. This however is also untrue; it was to prevent us from being controlled by another government that has become too powerful. On top of this, the end of this amendment reads as follows "shall not be infringed." The definition of in infringe is to break the terms. This could be an agreement or law.

Weapons are used for various reasons, be it hunting, sport, or defense. Many politicians, however, are challenging that the benefits of firearms are overcast by the dangers. Is this new take on weaponry accurate? After all, weapons are designed to injure, to kill. Any weapon in the wrong hands can result in devastation. They can be used in robberies, homicides, suicides, and in the ever– growing threat of terrorism. At the same time, weapons can protect from crime. Police are equipped with guns. The military uses rifles and explosives to "secure the blessings of liberty." And yes, weapons can be used to defend one's self in their own home. The castle doctrine, more commonly known as the "Make My Day" law, states that if someone is attacked on their property, they may use deadly force to defend themselves. There was a road rage case in Florida where castle doctrine was used. A couple was driving and got into a minor car accident.

What would happen to American Citizens if there safety and protection was completely in the hands of Uncle Sam? How could a person live without fear? Gun control has been an issue that has concerned the United States for many years. While the legalizing of gun control specifically about high capacity magazines and assault weapons has only been a forethought, never passing all the way through lawmakers, it is a thought that many people have had, and is definitely a thought people are having as mass shootings are becoming more common. Advocates for these set of laws feel that guns are a threat to society and should be outlawed. There are many important arguments about whether or not guns are an inhumane part of American culture. The first of these is that many people are not in the correct state of mind to make a decision that can end lives. Another argument is that guns should be used to build up our country, to protect it, not to break it down.

In a country where danger could be lurking anywhere at anytime, citizens should be able to protect themselves and feel secure regardless of where they're at.

According to an article on procon.org it states that, " 61% of men and 56% of women surveyed by Pew Research said that stricter gun laws would make it more difficult for people to protect their homes and families." Enforcing gun control would give criminals an advantage to attack an unarmed individual or an unarmed residence. Having a firearm might not only scare a rapist or a home invader but can also eliminate one if they mean to cause such harm. Another fact this article states is, " On May 9, 2013 48% of convicted felons surveyed admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed with a gun."
