Gun Rights In America

      

    I know a lot of people know what a gun is but lets get a legit definition for what a gun is. A gun is any portable firearm, as a rifle, shotgun or revolver, a long barreled cannon having a relatively flat trajectory. A gun is classified as a deadly weapon that can easily take the life of anything with just one push of the trigger. Since the American government has given its civilians the right to wield such a weapon they have also been giving the power to determine between life or death for an individual. This law is known as the Second Amendment/ Bill Of Rights. Republicans believe that it is wrong for America to change this law while Democrats believe the exact opposite. Which side is right? Does it really matter? Even if they change this law, does it mean citizens will not be able to access guns illegally? Guns shouldn't even be able to be distributed at all talking of giving rights to them. 

Its a smart solution to violence reduction in society don't you think?

  Every individual has his or her hobbies, things that they absolutely love to do. As a country that grew up on hunting in order to get food, many people that hunt now a days are going to against the idea of eliminating gun rights. In a quick research I did, I found that there about 23 million to 43.7 million that are hunters. Even though that is very small portion of the American population, these are still people who are going to disagree with the eradication of the Second Amendment because hunting is something that they love to do. In the lecture for Week 8, it says that there are only 26% of Americans that support a total ban on gun rights. Is this because people feel that since everyone is wielding they should also do the same in order to feel safe? 

  In my opinion I think that gun rights should be completely eradicated without a question. I mean a lot of homicides would've been prevented if gun rights did not exist. For example, the shooting in Aurora, Colorado or maybe even the Trayvon Martin case and many other homicides committed by the use of guns could've been prevented.  In 2005 11,346 people were killed by gun violence. if these laws didn't exist those lives could've been spared.
