Gun Control
|
|
|
|
Since the days of the pioneers of the United States, firearms
|
|
have been part of the American tradition as protection and a means of
|
|
hunting or sport. As we near the end of the 20th century the use of guns
|
|
has changed significantly. Because of fast and steady increase in crime
|
|
and the fight for the right to own a hand gun, the introduction of
|
|
legislation for gun control, to try to reduce the crime in the United
|
|
States, has been a hotly debated issue in recent years.
|
|
|
|
Although many people feel that gun control violates the right of the
|
|
people, given in the second amendment "the right to bear arms", controlling
|
|
distribution and sales and the registration of guns and gun owners is
|
|
necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns and the violence by
|
|
criminals using guns.
|
|
|
|
Many people feel that gun control violates the right of the people
|
|
given in the second amendment the right "to bear arms". Opponents of gun
|
|
control, including the National Rifle Association, better known as the NRA,
|
|
argue that the "right To bear arms" is guaranteed in the second amendment
|
|
of the Constitution of the United States of America and licensing
|
|
restrictions penalize law-abiding citizens while in no way preventing
|
|
criminal use of handguns. It is also argued that by making it difficult
|
|
for guns to be bought and registered for the American public there is a
|
|
threat to the personal safety of American families everywhere.
|
|
|
|
However controlling the sale and distribution of firearms is
|
|
necessary because of the homicide rate involving guns. In 1988 there were
|
|
9000 handgun related murders in America. Metropolitan centers and some
|
|
suburban communities of America are setting new records for homicides by
|
|
handguns. Larger Metropolitan centers have ten times the murder rate of all
|
|
Western Europe. For example in Washington,D.C. there was an estimated 400
|
|
homicides including guns.
|
|
|
|
In addition gun control has been seen as necessary because of the
|
|
violence by criminals using guns. Gun control is wrapped in a series of
|
|
social issues such as crime and drugs. Guns have become closely linked to
|
|
drugs and murder in the public mind. Drug dealing and high tech weaponry
|
|
have escalated the warfare in cities between long established loosely knit
|
|
gangs. Predominantly guns of crime are used by gang members. Many police
|
|
officers are killed every year due to drug and gang related incidents
|
|
involving guns. For example in 1988 on February 26 rookie New York City
|
|
police officer Edward Byre was sitting alone in his police car guarding the
|
|
house of a drug trial witness in South Jamaica, Queens where he was shot
|
|
four times in the head and killed.
|
|
|
|
In conclusion there are valid reasons for why certain people feel
|
|
that gun control is unfair. People against gun control feel that it is a
|
|
violation of the Constitution to control the sale and distribution and the
|
|
registration of guns and gun owners. But it is necessary for there to be
|
|
certain limits on the way that firearms are handled in this country because
|
|
of the homicide rate involving guns and because of the violence created by
|
|
criminals using guns. If gun control legislation were to go through there
|
|
would be a significant decline in gun related crimes and fatalities.
