Issue:
The Issue in which I have chosen to expand
upon is Gun Control/The Right to Bear Arms/The right to Concealed Carry. The
instructions directed us to choose a human rights issue, I will admit I am a
novice when it comes to the clarification of what exactly constitutes as human
rights specifically. For this reason I figured that as it is our right as
citizens of the United States “Human Right” to Bear arms; so I decided to
expand upon this “Human Rights Issue”.
Premise 1.According to http://gunowners.org ; states that have enacted concealed carry laws have
drastically reduced the murder and crime rates.
Premise
2.According to http://gunowners.org; ABC
News conducted a found that approximately ¾ of American citizens believe the
Second Amendment truly protects the rights and individual citizens to own guns.
Premise 3.According to http://jpfo.org/articles-assd03/18-good-gun-facts.htm within the past 20
years the sales of guns have increased significantly, in contrast homicides by
firearms have actually gone down approximately thirty nine percent. And to boot
crimes that didn’t involve fatalities but did involve firearms have
significantly dropped by sixty nine percent.
Conclusion
Concealed carry, as well as the right to bear arms is an overall good
idea for humanity within the U.S. The right to bear arms benefits the good law
abiding citizens; by providing them with immediate defense in the event of an
attack/assault. Statistics show that when citizens are able to conceal a
firearm legally crimes can be stopped in their tracks, whether it is against
the individual carrying the firearm, or someone nearby that is in distress.
Statistics show that concealed carry laws as well as the second amendment help
to detour crime abroad.
