The Gun Control Pros And Cons is on the second amendment to the Constitution, which
protects centered “The right of people and weapons to keep bear.”
Gun control proponents believe that military-style, which
otherwise are right not on the possession of firearms as offensive weapons known
to extend. You refer to events such as the Columbine High
school massacre in April 1999, which led the deaths of 14 students (including
the two gunmen) and a teacher to the support of the ban on offensive weapons.
Support to stop measures to the gun-related violence, such
as mandatory parental controls, background checks on those to buy a weapon,
limiting the number of weapons can buy a person and raising the age limit for
gun control.
Gun rights groups, the National Rifle Association led by,
argue that these and other proposals for the constitutional rights of law
abiding citizens to violate. They claim that bans on the
sale of certain types of weapons were not as effective proven to reduce violent
crime, and that proposals for a more stringent review for gun shows, gun showing
the remove themselves. Some manufacturers have rifle
volunteer support for security locks, but has criticized security locks for
placing undue strain on arms manufacturers no proven benefit to the public the

How she may affect you
In the foreground of the debate on weapons prohibition, which
went into force in 1994 is the offensive weapons. The ban
that Bill by the Congress adopted part of a larger anti-crime and in that year
it was signed by President Clinton, applies functions for 19 specific models of
semi-automatic firearms and other weapons with an assault weapon. The ban expired September 13, 2004, and gun rights groups were pressing
Congress for the ban override to occur. Gun control
advocates to promote responded with a massive PR campaign, voters their elected
representatives say that the Congress should be to renew the ban.
The issue is a hot potato in a year of the presidential
elections, with President Bush and Senator John Kerry taking positions
constructed that voters on both sides of the debate make it angry. Bush said he supports an extension, but arms control accused advocates
of him otherwise urge the Congress to act. Kerry announced
his support for the extension of the ban, as his campaign tries to increase
credibility as gun owners and hunters the Democratic presidential
candidate.
Republican Congressional leaders say the ban was allowed to
expire, because to gun control advocate in the House of representatives and the
Senate does not have enough votes to extend it. You may be
right. Most Republicans in Congress against an extension,
and Democrats were anything but agreed to support the maintenance of the ban.
Democrats representing rural areas kept mum on the issue
perhaps mindful of their constituents, sensitivity to gun control measures.
Also believe some Democrats their support for the offensive
weapons ban cost to control it, the House of representatives and the Senate in
1994 and violating the arms control issue Al of Gore’s standing in key States
during the 2000 presidential election.
