Freedom vs. Gun Control

Since the concept of 1776, the right to carry weapons was part of the national constitution. We are goods owned by almost all families. Guns are used for hunting and protection. With the coming of modern times, the need for ownership of firearms is getting smaller and smaller due to police management and excessive food. The surplus of food and modern law enforcement agencies and the rise in the crime rate of guns urged the government to begin reviewing gun laws. Furthermore, in the past century many laws have restricted the right to carry guns.

Gun control: America and Japan Christopher D America vs. Japan According to my thesis, the issue of gun control in the United States needs to be changed drastically to reflect the situation in Japan. America is a country full of gun crime, Japan is a country strictly adhering to the rules of firearms, there are few problems with firearms. Weapons that can be accessed from the barrier to the general public in Japan are very different from those in America. The American Constitution stipulates that Americans have the right to possess weapons. This is written without limitation, but now there is a law that limits some of the ownership of the gun. The cause of gun control is under the banner of public safety. There are many safety reasons to prohibit private ownership of firearms, but these claims are not only due to the need for protection, but restrictions on ownership may become more serious.

Discussions on gun control require consideration of the risks associated with placing more guns around the children calmly and objectively. This is often an internal emotional argument that identifies ownership of freedom and guns, but what kind of freedom is it? This is not yet clear. Nina Simone once said that freedom is a life without fear, but students, parents, teachers and citizens have the right to do so.

The whole factor nationwide survey clearly shows the disagreement of opinion. According to the 2017 study by Pew Research Center, 91% of Republican and Republican-oriented gun owners say that gun holding is important for freedom, but the Democratic Party / Democratic Party has 43% of guns It tends to be. Even the non-owner of the Republican Party is more likely to view it as a fundamental right than the owner of the Democratic Party (61% versus 43%). Meanwhile, according to data from the political center, the firearms' rights institution in 2016 provided Congress with 5.8 million dollars, 98% of which was for the Republican Party. Nonparticipating group tracking campaign spending also reported that in the 2016 presidential election campaign, the National Rifle Association spent $ 10.6 million to support Donald Trump and $ 19.7 million to Hillary Clinton did.
