“A ban on handguns is not realistically enforceable. Gun confiscation would require house-to-house searches and would alienate the very people whose compliance is essential to the success of any regulation. If gun ownership were banned, organized crime would step in to supply the firearms that will continue to be purchased with criminal intent” (Done Kates). Over the past decade, media reports have reported an increase in the severity of violent crime, with individuals killing and injuring many others, including children. Since 2006, more than 200 mass murders have occurred in the United States. Between 2006 and 2011 alone, the FBI counted more than 172 cases of mass murders, not including those that were not reported to the FBI by individual law enforcement agencies (“Murders”Nelson Lund, JD, PhD, professor at George Mason University Law School once stated: "The right to self-defense and the means of self-defense is a fundamental natural right that flows from the right to life...many [laws on control of firearms] interfere with the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against violent criminals. When we were born, we were born with the right to life, and with the right to life came the right to life. self-protection. There have been many laws that contradict the right to life, just as the right to self-protection stated that "the structure of the Second Amendment was distinguished by the omission of any statement of intent related to the. right to use firearms for hunting or personal self-defense.” Judge Steven noted that the Second Amendment right covers us from self-defense and hunting. Self defense is a very important topic because most people die at the hands of others because they have nothing to defend themselves with. A New York Times report once stated that Wayne Lapierre, executive vice president of the NRA, said that "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun ". Reports revealed that in Newtown, Connecticut, at a public school, none of the school employees were armed and they had no defense in the event of a school shooting. People have been injured and Justin King once said: "The UK enacted its handgun ban in 1996. From 1990 until the ban was passed, the homicide rate fluctuated between 10.9 and 13 homicides per million. After the ban was passed, homicides trended upward until reaching a peak of 18.0 in 2003. Since 2003, which is when the British government flooded the country of 20,000 additional police officers, the homicide rate fell to 11.1 in 2010. in other words, the 15-year experiment with banning handguns has achieved absolutely nothing. The UK tried to ban guns for 15 years and only increased crime rates. From 1990 until the ban took effect, the homicide rate rose from 10.9 to 13 per million. After the ban had been in effect for a while, homicides reached 18.0 in 2003. The same year, the United Kingdom flooded the country with more than 20,000 police officers so that homicide rates would decrease . Gun rights activist John R. Lott, Jr., PhD, once said, “The problem with these [gun control] laws is that they take guns away from law-abiding citizens. laws, while potential criminals ignore them.” The country is taking its time to verify and remove all legal weapons and ignoring the fact that just like there are weapons.
