Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." <br /> An AR-15 is semi automatic, high capacity firearm with a muzzle velocity of over three thousand feet per second. The rifle will fire as fast as one can pull the trigger. This commando style weapon, with high capacity magazines, in the hands of a mentally or emotionally unstable individual, is a recipe for disaster that could cause great harm and death to the innocent. Although Americans have a constitutional right to bear arms, there need to be precautions in place to insure the safety of the people.

The red flags (indicators) didn’t show up in the background check. Now a mentally unstable person has their hands on an instrument of death; which they attained legally. In order to keep citizens safe, we must take all threats seriously. One-third of the shooters in the past century had made prior threats. In an official FBI document, it states, “Behavior is an expression of personality, but one bad day may not reflect a student’s real personality or usual behavior pattern. Accurately evaluating someone's behavior requires establishing a baseline — how he or she typically behaves most of the time” (FBI 4). Peers of individuals who suffer from mental illness must be attentive to peculiar behavior and take all threats seriously. When people treat situations like these with care and responsibility, often the shooter’s plans are foiled. These simple steps could save countless lives. In the <a href='/topics/united-states' style='color:#3174a3'>United States</a> alone, over thirty-one thousand people die annually as a root to firearms. The American Medical Journal concluded, “there is a positive correlation between guns per capita and <a href='/topics/firearm' style='color:#3174a3'>firearm</a> relate deaths” (AMJ 2). This means that when more guns are in circulation, more deaths will occur:<br /> One of the major political parties (along with firearms manufacturers and pro-<a href='/topics/gun' style='color:#3174a3'>gun</a> lobbyists generally) oppose any rules restricting our Second Amendment rights by limiting the capacity of clips</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/PKCRZ9PYVC">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Second-Amendment-John-Stevens-Analysis-FCBJWWZ4YXT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Second Amendment John Stevens Analysis</h2></a><ul><li>311 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Second-Amendment-John-Stevens-Analysis-FCBJWWZ4YXT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Second Amendment John Stevens Analysis</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The second amendment states that, “A well-controlled militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to own arms, shall not be infringed.”</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>311 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Second-Amendment-John-Stevens-Analysis-FCBJWWZ4YXT">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/We-Must-Be-Put-To-an-End-P3XDZ4ZVJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary"> We Must Be Put To an End to Gun Control in America Essay</h2></a><ul><li>2208 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li><li>9 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/We-Must-Be-Put-To-an-End-P3XDZ4ZVJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary"> We Must Be Put To an End to Gun Control in America Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Today in America we face many controversial problems. With strict gun control, Americans cannot feel safe, and to some the thought of not being able to use a firearm in self-defense is very frightening. We Americans should never have to be in fear of not being able to protect ourselves, especially in the comfort of our own home. How are strict gun control laws and regulations going to reach the estimated 65 million gun owners that own approximately 240 million firearms (Just Facts Gun Control)? The answer is simple, they can’t. There must be an end to gun control, its problems significantly outweigh any good intentions it has, and besides there is no doubt about it, America is a safer place when the citizens are able to own firearms.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>2208 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li><li>9 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/We-Must-Be-Put-To-an-End-P3XDZ4ZVJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay3"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Essay-On-Gun-Control-Flaws-In-America-26DB2C7BE42D92F6" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay On Gun Control Flaws In America</h2></a><ul><li>520 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Essay-On-Gun-Control-Flaws-In-America-26DB2C7BE42D92F6" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay On Gun Control Flaws In America</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Including the ban of devices that simulate full auto and ban high capacity magazines, although fully automatic firearms made after 1986 are banned in the USA it is still possible to obtain devices such as bump fire stocks that use the recoil of the gun to re-pull the trigger after each shot, this simulates a fully automatic machine gun. A bump fire stock was used in a mass shooting that took place in las vegas in 2017 which killed 58 people and injured 546 people, the bump fire stock used combined with high capacity magazines is what made this incident particularly devastating. High capacity magazines are a magazine designed to hold above than the standard amount of rounds, an “assault rifle” holds 25 to 30 rounds while a pistol holds 10 to 15 rounds, however, most countries consider any magazine holding more than 10 rounds a high capacity magazine.These must be banned for the reason that they allow you to fire more rounds quicker without having to reload which would give law enforcement or a bystander more time to stop the suspect before the situation worsens.These limitations would help the US not only by saving lives but also by satisfying the people who have fought for these</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>520 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Essay-On-Gun-Control-Flaws-In-America-26DB2C7BE42D92F6">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay4"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-best-essays"><div><span>Best Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/The-Endless-Gun-Control-Debate-FKKJXNYTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about The Endless Gun Control Debate</h2></a><ul><li>2101 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li><li>10 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/The-Endless-Gun-Control-Debate-FKKJXNYTJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay about The Endless Gun Control Debate</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The Second Amendment States, “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</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>2101 Words</li><li>9 Pages</li><li>10 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-best-essays"><div><span>Best Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/The-Endless-Gun-Control-Debate-FKKJXNYTJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay5"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-One-Of-The-Most-Controversial-PJ5G2AQL5T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control: One Of The Most Controversial Issues In Today's Society</h2></a><ul><li>993 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-One-Of-The-Most-Controversial-PJ5G2AQL5T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control: One Of The Most Controversial Issues In Today's Society</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The second Amendment of the United States Constitution 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."

An issue with such weight on a nation, has been regarded as being treated frivolously inside the United States, as many citizens query the degree of action that has been made to end this growing topic. The stance of enforcing stricter gun laws within the United States, such as limiting who may carry firearms by requiring background checks for all gun sales, has been argued by many. For many Americans, gun control can be regarded as either being the solution to reducing gun violence, or a complete violation to their Second Amendment. For an issue like gun control, that could possibly impact an entire nation, partiality becomes easily entangled in discussions that surround the topic. News sources inside the United States, such as The New York Times, as well as certain foreign news sources, such as Al Jazeera, employs data to support a particular position, rather than personal opinion. When analyzing certain sources from foreign countries, such as Pravda, and their account on the United States’ growing gun concern, there is an undeniable degree of extreme dogmatism surrounding the approach in solving gun-induced violence.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1845 Words</li><li>8 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Gun-Control-And-The-United-States-Of-FKFQD75YLC5W">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay10"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Persuasive-Speech-For-The-Second-Amendment-FCRZTMVYFQ6" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Persuasive Speech For The Second Amendment</h2></a><ul><li>806 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Persuasive-Speech-For-The-Second-Amendment-FCRZTMVYFQ6" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Persuasive Speech For The Second Amendment</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The Second Amendment says “ 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”</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>806 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Persuasive-Speech-For-The-Second-Amendment-FCRZTMVYFQ6">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-Of-The-United-States-P3R9QL5Y9CXQ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control Of The United States Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1412 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-Of-The-United-States-P3R9QL5Y9CXQ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control Of The United States Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Gun control is a highly controversial topic in the United States. There are many people who are for gun control - people who want to have stricter laws to make it so criminals and other dangerous people can’t obtain a firearm. But, there are also the people who disagree with gun control laws and believe there should be a more lenient gun control to help people defend themselves during risky situations. Many gun control laws have been passed for many years. While many have been passed, many have been voted unconstitutional meaning they affect the citizens second amendment rights. The Second Amendment of The United States Constitution states, “[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." America is the most well-armed nation in the world, with American citizens owning about 270 million of the world’s 875 million firearms (Marshall). This is more than a quarter of the world’s registered firearms. The reason why Americans own so many guns is because of the Second Amendment which grants that right. Although the Second Amendment prevents the federal government from completely banning guns in America, limited restrictions are allowed on the distribution and possession of firearms. Certain groups of people such as criminals, the mentally unstable, and soldiers dishonorably discharged from the military are prohibited from possessing or interacting with firearms</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1412 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Gun-Control-Of-The-United-States-P3R9QL5Y9CXQ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay12"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-And-The-United-States-FKLP79XY9J5Q" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control And The United States Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1358 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-And-The-United-States-FKLP79XY9J5Q" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control And The United States Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Every law-abiding American citizen should have a choice to own a gun, and it should not matter if their reason is for protection, for sport or simply to collect. Gun control is a concern that needs to be one of “less talk and more action”; in addition, it needs to be an issue where both parts of the Congress join together to find a solution to the growing problem of gun violence in the United States. Furthermore, the American people need to demand action from their state’s senators and representatives, not just during a time of stress following a gun-related incident, but continue to press until a permanent resolution is found. Gun control is a controversial subject because there are many who still believe it is all about the government taking away all guns, however, “Gun control” is an umbrella term for several types of gun regulations. Gun control calls for “common sense measures” such as banning “military-style weapons” and “universal background checks” (Should More Gun, 2016). There are federal laws covering some aspects of gun control, but many contain loopholes (Perez-Pena, 2015). Most states have their own laws in place, however, there are no consistencies “at the state level” (Perez-Pena, 2015). In the late 1990’s, there were in fact, roughly 20,000 federal, state or local laws covering gun control; the bulk of these laws were local codes (Spitzer, 1998). In a survey conducted in February 2013, by the Pew Research Center, it was determined that “37% of adults</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1358 Words</li><li>6 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Gun-Control-And-The-United-States-FKLP79XY9J5Q">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay13"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/America-Needs-Stricter-Gun-Control-Laws-P3KHPLZVC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay on America Needs Stricter Gun Control Laws</h2></a><ul><li>1530 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li><li>5 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/America-Needs-Stricter-Gun-Control-Laws-P3KHPLZVC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Essay on America Needs Stricter Gun Control Laws</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">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</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1530 Words</li><li>7 Pages</li><li>5 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/America-Needs-Stricter-Gun-Control-Laws-P3KHPLZVC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay14"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-in-America-P3JANBFYTJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control in America Essay</h2></a><ul><li>993 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li><li>9 Works Cited</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Gun-Control-in-America-P3JANBFYTJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Gun Control in America Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">There are gun control laws to try and reduce the number of violent shootings that occur. They are trying to put limits on weapons that Americans can own. The government is trying to take our guns away mainly because of people that are criminally insane. Most of the people who commit crimes don’t even have the weapons legally. If the government takes away the rights of people who are allowed to have firearms in their possession, it will most definitely cause an outrage. Most people believe that the people should be more capable of maintain proper use of the firearms instead of having them all taken away.

When the founding fathers wrote amendment 2 of the United States Constitution, guns were not as technologically as advanced as they are now. Giving all United States Citizens the right to bear arms seemed like a fair idea when guns fired 1-2 rounds per minute; but today some gun fire up to 900 rounds per minute and can cause severe damage. Gun law restrictions has been a constant topic of discussion amongst legislators and citizens over the past 5 years. America should impose more restrictive gun laws because they pose a serious threat to safety of Americans.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large
