The Second Amendment and Gun Violence in America Jefferson (third President of United States)

After a long and cruel and painful war for the independence from British’s, USA became its own and independent nation, a nation of choice and rights, a country of voice and its own opinion and people say that was because US nationals had arms to fight British, So by keeping this in mind the creators of United states favored gun policy which was named second amendment commonly as its was a constitutional amendment.

No one from that time knew this amendment will take another face of inhumanity in today’s time. It was made to protect the people of the land and specially protect from the rulers whether they are outsiders or government agencies from inside the country. In today’s time Each and every American mass shooting in the recent time has been deeply followed by calls for strict gun control law. Second amendment has become more controversial from the time it was adopted in the year if 1791, and now many more constitutional authority including former just of American Supreme Court is calling for its end.

Reason Behind Second Amendment

The creators of United States constitutions made the bill of rights, which was created to ensure that each and every states in Unites States and their residents would remain forever independent and free from any oppressive government. It was to ensure that both country and its citizen could defend their freedom themselves, they did specify that the right to keep arms by responsible citizens of USA should not be snatched. Creators also said that citizens need the same fire ability gun which the government has or else how would you protect yourself against any oppressive government. Second amendment was also created by keeping in mind that state could take military action to destroy any insurrections or slavery rebellions because federal government has no standing army for a long time.

Advantages of Second Amendment

There are few advantages of this amendment like freedom to own firearms for sports and self-protection, not need to get the permission from government to purchase arms. People feel great deal amount of safety with a gun though they might never use it on public. It is quit hard for the government to protect every single person or family. Ultimately is the responsibility of an adult to defend themselves against any attackers.

When the criminal carry fire arm then citizen should also have the same rights when they are protecting themselves from armed attackers, Adults who carry hand guns can be considered law-abiding citizen. Having a life-threatening weapon while an attack from a criminal almost always successful as most criminals do not want their life to be risked whatever it is they wanted from the victim. In most serious of scenarios, having the gun and knowing how to use one will help citizens to protect themselves and their loved ones if any criminal does continue their attack. In the recent survey gun control also reduced the suicide rate across United States.

Disadvantages

Every year in United States, almost thirty thousand people, or 560 per week die from gun violence. Though guns do not kill people and people kill people. In the USA however people kill people by using legal arms. The murder rate in USA is fifteen times higher than in any other first world countries, majority of these murders are committed with legal guns. One study of American cities revealed that injuries involving arms kept at home almost always resulted from accidental shooting.

In the confusion of the onslaught, would fewer people or more people have died when those 10 other people opened fire in the dark? More important, is this really the kind of world people want to live in, a world in which lethal power can be unleashed at any moment at any corner, in any home, in any school?

Politics on Gun Rights

During debate about gun control it’d often heard Democrats complaint that ninety percent of American people are in support of strict universal background check and later it has been seen that most republican lawmakers vote against expanded gun control measures and on the other hand it has been seen that few republican lawmakers electronically being punished for voting against strict Universal background check, This is nothing but a politics. Whatever is happening in the background is not representing voters view on gun policy over all.

If consider all live interviews poll taken over the period of 2017, In them, the question of whether the respondents leaned more toward Democratic or Republican Party on holding gun policy was asked three times and on average one percentage point more Americans said they are leaning more toward the Republican Party than the opponent Democratic Party on gun policy. Until that changes, Republicans don't really have much of an electoral reason to change their minds on gun control.

Americans are somehow polarized on gun policy: previous year, I looked at 10 different issues starting from abortion to free trade to LGBT right that the Pew Research Center conducted a survey and majority of Americans were more polarized on gun policy than any other issue apart from building a strong border wall with Mexico. In Pew's very latest poll on the subject seventy nine percent of Republicans favored protecting the gun ownership rights over limiting to gun access. That compares with twenty percent of Democrats who felt the same way. In other words, there was a stunning 59 percentage point partisan gap on the issue.
