People demand change from government but cry “unconstitutional!” » We need stricter gun laws in the United States. It is no coincidence that the United States is the only country that considers gun ownership a human right and has the highest number of gun-related injuries of any developed country in the world. . The U.S. position on gun control has been controversial since the late 20th century. With many nationally recognized events like Columbine, Sandy Hook Elementary, and Tucson occurring, people continually flip-flop on whether to create more gun laws or keep them as is. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees the right to bear arms, becomes much more important to politicians during elections. A large majority of Republicans lean more conservatively in opposing stricter gun laws, while at the opposite end of the spectrum, Democrats favor the idea of ​​stricter laws . Gun rights and gun control groups have lobbied for decades to help create legislation in their favor. In the United States, people don't give much thought to violence until a horrible story of violence happens in a public place. “Right now, it's a horrific story of a 12-year-old boy who took a semi-automatic weapon into his home and then killed a teacher...at a middle school in Nevada. Before that, it was the Navy Yard in Washington, DC. Before that, it was Newtown. And before that, there was Perry Hall, Aurora, Tucson and Columbine… and tomorrow it will be elsewhere. When a nationally recognized event happens, it's a trending topic on Twitter, streamed on Facebook, and reposted on Instagram. Everyone is dismayed; they look to government to make things happen. People protest for days, talking in the middle of a newspaper or just chatting about it. (Nesbit 1) “District of Columbia v. Heller.” Legal Information Institute. Cornell University. Internet.
