When gun control got stricter, on the state and Federal levels, the murder rate climbed, and stayed up over 9 per 100,000, often going over 10 per 100,000. As gun control was made less strict on the state and Federal levels, starting with the Gun Owners’ Protection Act and the Florida Concealed Carry law, the murder rate has dropped to 5 per 100,000, making it quite obvious that GUN CONTROL KILLS.

So why do the blood thirsty people want to pass laws which have been proven to cost lives?

Pre-gun control in the UK saw rates of .2 per 100,000, and each gun control law was accompanied by an increase in the murder rate.

Why are there people who support laws originally passed to protect the KKK murderers, (forming the very foundation of Jim Crow laws), and which even now cost lives?
New York City has the oldest gun control law on the books, the Sullivan Act, from 1911. The Sullivan Act was passed so that the criminals being run by Tammany Hall political/crime boss Big Tim Sullivan could make crime safer for HIS criminals.

As for a 1911 law causing a decrease in crime, it went up to almost 15 per 100,000, then started dropping almost 80 years after guncontrol was imposed. The New York city murder rate started dropping in 1995, and the stricter amendments to the NYC Sullivan Act were passed in 1998-causing the murder rate to quit dropping for three years.

In 1995, better policing methods were introduced, putting the focus on the criminal instead of the gun.
Tyler, you need to get more current data than 1994.

Legislation to require a federal license to possess any detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle or shotgun, or any handgun, has been introduced in Congress. Bills to re-impose the federal "assault weapon" and "large" magazine ban, or to impose a much broader ban, have been introduced in Congress since 2003, and will likely be introduced in the current Congress soon.

Already, the deliberate deceptions we heard from anti-gunners previously are resurfacing. Anti-gun Sen. Carl Levin, D-MI, said last Thursday on the floor of the Senate that "assault weapons" are "capable of firing up to 600 rounds per minute" and that they are "once again pervading our streets and neighborhoods."

Did we mention that our opponents are deliberately deceptive?

Many fully-automatic firearms can fire 10 rounds in a second, which theoretically would work out to 600 rounds per minute, but they cannot be reloaded fast enough to achieve anything near that rate in reality. But we are not talking about fully-automatic firearms—we’re talking about semi-automatics, and the difference between them need not be explained here.

"Pervading our streets?" Anti-gun lawmakers swore up and down that once the "assault weapon" ban expired, the murder rate would go through the roof. Well, the ban expired in 2004 and since then, the murder rate has gone down to a 43-year low.

hello, so im supposed to be pretending im a senator that is proposing a bill. My bill is to prohibit the buying, selling, and possession of handguns.

please i need a good grader than knows about this subject. im in 7th grade, and my teacher grades hard cause he was previously a lawyer okay so this is my persuasive speech about my bill

Senator Sam Cherfas’s speech on law #8

I am in favor of the bill that will prohibit the buying, selling, possession of firearms because I personally feel that guns cause so many casualties whether if it is homicide, suicide or just a mere accident.

But more importantly, what is gun control? Why do we need it? Is it really worth the money? Do the pros over power the cons of this bill? These are all questions a citizen would ask about this bill.

Gun control is the regulation of the sale and use of firearms. According to the centers for disease control and prevention, roughly 30,000 people are killed by guns in the U.S than in any other developed countries, making this an important issue. But guns are not only involved in deaths. For instance in 2003, there were roughly 348,000 murders, robberies, and aggravated assaults in which guns were used.

Now is the time to act. The federal Bureau of investigation reports that in 2008, the U.S murder rate rose 5%, the largest one year increase since 1991! But what are the cons. Every bill has cons and so does ours. Mentions of the NRA, (the national rifle association, the largest- gun rights lobbying group) work hard to keep the 2nd amendment and have won every case to keep it from being erased. But when this bill is passed, this will change.
Since 1939, the Supreme Court has not lead any further 2nd amendment cases, the most recent ruling. In 1997, overturned part of the 1993 Brady bill, but did not address 2nd amendment rights.

The Brady Bill, passed by the United States Congress signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 30, 1993, and went into effect on February 28, 1994. The act was named after James Brady, who was shot during an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981. The Brady Bill initially required purchasers to wait up to five days for a background check to occur before being allowed to purchase a handgun. Unfortunately, The five-day waiting period for handgun purchases expired on November 30, 1998 and was replaced by a computerized criminal background check prior to any firearm purchase from a dealer holding a Federal Firearms License (FFL).

According to “gun control” written by Tom streissguth, people against gun control feel gun control laws are a threat to the personal freedoms of America. On the other hand, according the federal bureau of investigation, who recently conducted a survey, which stated that 91% of Americans in a survey of 1000 thought that there, should be at least minor restrictions on gun ownership?
But what also did American people think, after all this is a democracy, 57% of Americans say that there should be a major restrictions or a ban.

Innocent children also suffer from guns. According to the federal Bureau of investigation, 40% of homes in the U.S have guns. In 1996, 140 children died after being accidentally shot. According to on the issues, a registered database, 1,500 children are hurt every year. How can we let the future of America die so young?

The founding fathers knew that over time laws would have to be changed. That is why they made the laws capable of being amended. Honestly, do you really think that because of the 2nd amendment the founding fathers would know this would cause 260,000,000 firearms being on the streets and roughly 30,000 people dying each year because of firearms?

With deaths involving guns, occurring a lot more than in any other well developed country, This bill will make this horrifying statistic untrue in less than six months.
