In today’s society, everyone knows that it is important
to know what our rights are and how to protect it. The question is
asked, does everyone have a right to own a gun in the United States?
Guns are weapons that kill people, but since they are also to protect people,
then everyone should have a rite to own a gun to protect themselves and
their family.
Our president, George W. Bush, thinks that there
should be no laws against guns. In a newspaper on the internet it
says, “the Bush administration has issued a 109-page memorandum aiming
to prove that the Second Amendment grants individuals nearly unrestricted
access to firearms” (http://online.wsj.com/public/article//feature).
This means that even our president thinks anyone should have guns.
Protected by the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
It 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.” (http://www.saf.org/). This means that it is important
that people should be able to have guns, they have the write to.
Now in days some people think that all guns should
be outlawed. They say that only terrorists have guns. According
to Michael D. Barnes, "This report makes one thing crystal clear: terrorists
and guns go together. Firearms are part of the essential tool kit
of domestic and foreign terrorists alike. Guns are used to commit terrorist
acts, and guns are used by terrorists to resist law enforcement efforts
at apprehension and arrest” (http://www.bradycenter.org/reports).
But guns don’t make terrorists, terrorists make terrorists.
Those who think all guns should be outlawed are
wrong because it is in the Constitution that we should have guns they are
important for us to protect ourselves. Even the U.S. Attorney General
of the United States thinks that gun control is not the American way.
They say, “For the foregoing reasons, we conclude that the Second Amendment
secures an individual right to keep and to bear arms. [O]ur examination of
the original meaning of the Amendment provides extensive reasons to conclude
that the Second Amendment secures an individual right, and no persuasive basis
for either the collective-right or quasi-collective-right views.” (http://nra.org/Article).
This means that each one of us has a right to have a gun, or many
guns, or any kind of gun.
Life is very dangerous in this day and age.
We all need to protect ourselves. That’s why it is important to be
able to buy a gun any time we want to. If everyone had a gun, then
there would be less murders, bank robberies, carjackings, and death.
