  •  
    The pro gun control voice could certainly gain influence if they establish a more united voice.The pro-gun rights voice is rapidly gaining influence while the pro-gun control voice has tapered in recent weeks. The pro-gun control voice is split between Obama and several gun control advocacy groups which dilutes the message.

Pro Gun Control - 0 views

  •  
    DogPile Original Much like those on the opposite side of the issue, the pro gun control crowd feels an enormous amount of passion towards their cause. They are also an incredibly diverse group. Some of those in the pro gun control movement want to see certain guns taken off the shelves, while others believe that they should be outlawed entirely. There are a number of gun control statistics that these individuals tout to help get their point across. One set of statistics that the pro gun control crowd likes to discuss is the increase in school shootings over the past two decades. Statistics like these are not exactly shocking to people these days, especially with all of the coverage that the mainstream media gives to them when they occur. Paraphrase Those who are pro gun control are rather diverse and feel just as strong about gun regulations as those opposing them. This group consist of people that feel anywhere from no guns being allowed, to only certain guns being allowed. Gun control statistics are vast in favor of gun control. For example, school shootings in the past twenty years. Although, these statistics are losing effect on the crowd as they are being over exposed on the media. .

Sorting Out Obama's Gun Proposal - 0 views

  •

    I love the fact that Arizona is a right to carry state. I think the biggest thing that people need to think about is this.. Most people that commit crimes with guns did not go to their local Wal-mart and buy a gun and go kill someone. Most people that use guns for violence came across those guns illegally. Whether they were stolen or bought from an illegal arms seller, they were obtained illegally. These are the guns that need to be controlled, not the ones that were legally obtained.

    I agree this is a very controversial topic. In my opinion, it's truly hard to pick a side due to the fact that I understand both perspectives. Regardless, it's an issue that I hope gets resolved, eventually.
  •  
    I don't like the idea that "gun ownership deters crime." Criminals are criminals, because they don't consider the consequences of their actions. They don't evaluate if the person has a weapon, a child, or a dog. Gun ownership from my perspective only increases the likelyhood that one of those weapons is going to fire.

    Gun control is a difficult topic to discuss. More gun control laws will not end shootings. On both sides of the spectrum, there are pros and cons to more or less gun control laws.

    The personal freedom of the second amendment or the right to bear arms is a touchy subject in today's new world. From either stand point the right to bear arms is a natural right of self-defense. Reading this article gives reasoning to why the freedom to own and use guns are important to society.

On Gun Control and the Great American Debate Over Individualism - 0 views

  •  
    This article says how gun control got loose over the last 2 decades and crime rates have gone down. Therefore, more control wouldn't really help bring down crime. It says how the argument is going no where fast and that no changes will end up being made.
  •  
    Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, and New York passed restrictive laws concerning thirty-round magazines and various weapons based on characteristics - like pistol grips and flash hiders - that have nothing to do with a gun's lethality. The State Department immediately demanded that he take the code down, which he did, although once something is on the Internet it is beyond anybody's control - precisely Wilson's point - and the plastic gun has already been photographed in Europe, well beyond the State Department's control.

    The controversy with the right to bear arms starts with the goverment. Only a goverment who is affraid of its citizens trys to control them. Gun control is not about the guns, its about taking control. When you remove the right to bear arms, we can not defend ourselves from senseless crimes.
