Gun control is a very controversial, complicated, and delicate subject, because it affects a large amount of people in our society, and is full of moral and legal arguments which all must be heard. There are two really strong positions on gun control, pro and con. But views on gun control aren¡¦t that simple, there are many views that branch off of pro or con gun control. There isn¡¦t really one source of controversy, but a large group of them. For example, what about hunters and sport/game shooters, should there right be taken away because of the actions of others, when they have not hurt anyone. This is one example of a delicate issue that you must take into consideration when discussing gun control. Public opinion on gun control varies. Some people feel that all gun should be outlawed, some feel that guns aren¡¦t that problem, some people feel that certain people shouldn¡¦t have guns, some people feel that people shouldn¡¦t have certain guns, and some people feel differently. Some people feel that guns are the cause of many crimes in the United States, and maybe they are right. Many others feel that guns aren¡¦t the problem people are. The National Rifle Association (NRA) feels that ¡§guns don¡¦t kill people, people kil
. . .
l people¡¨; this is also the slogan for the NRA. Morton Grove¡¦s law was upheld, because the 2nd amendment only applied on a national level. This is something that is just beginning to arises. They¡¦re a couple of reasons this isn¡¦t a very good argument. The Brady bill, is a law named after a secretary of Reagan who was paralyzed by a bullet in an assassination attempt. Courts have agreed with this on previous occasions. Con gun control actives said that Miller¡¦s case was only about that particular type of firearm. I feel that game hunters should be allowed to hunt but they must keep in mind that is a privilege not a right to hunt with a gun. Other peaceful ways exist to change, or even overthrow, the government.
In the Printz v United States case of 1997, the supreme court ruled that the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention act was unconstitutional, but not on 2nd amendment grounds. This was only ¡§as allowed by law¡¨ and wasn¡¦t absolute. Many people proposed the following should be done:
„h A national system for the registering guns and ammo, instead of state systems. The NRA supports this proposal
„h Greater gun education programs. Unlike other things in the bill of rights, the 2nd amendment has not been applied to the states.
