A couple of issues prompted the creation of the second amendment. One reason was because there was no organized government military in the United States in 1791 when James Madison proposed the 2nd Amendment. So people needed to feel safe and protect their family from unwanted intruders.In the 1790s there weren't any phones and many people lived in rural areas away from cities. You couldn’t yell HELP because no one would be there. Another reason why this was prompted was the British declaring war on America. American citizens didn't want to feel defenseless against a British invasion. Americans wanted to feel safe and strong and have the Constitution a lot stronger than the Articles of Confederation.

The impact the second amendment has on society is avery bad impact of wars and fighting.Mostly murders and homicides
this is all because the government gave the people the right to own a gun.A good impact on society is that people can protect them selves from each other.For example when some one is trespassing on your land you can't protect your self with out the second amendment.So the second amendment mostly had a negative affect more than a positive effect.(Dan)







The second amendment is bad right now, Ken Womble says it should be banned but is it really necessary to that? The answer is no, while it may cause a bunch of problems there are other ways to fix it than the lazy option to just get of it. One big way is to make people happier and healthier in life. This is because owning a gun doesn't change peoples motivation. For example, when someone wants to harm people, it wouldn't be owning a gun that would make people want to do something. We also need to know why it was created. It was created because people in America in the 1790's needed something to protect themselves. That is also why it should not be banned because people need to defend their lives if their is an intruder, waiting for the police is not always gonna work. (Jack)

I agree and disagree with this persons opinion. I agree because it is true that waiting for the police to come when their is an intruder is not always the best option. This is something totally dependent on where someone lives though. If someone lived in a rural area the police is not likely to show up in time. But if the person lived in a populated area it would be somewhat safe to call the police. This also is changed because in the 1790's rural areas were much more common than they are today. I disagree because it is not always true that people are not motivated to do bad things with them owning a gun. While most of the time this statement is true there are times where people get little or a good amount of motivation to do something violent when they possess a gun. (Jack)

In July 2015 at a San Francisco pier a women was shot by a Mexican immigrant. Her name was Kate Steinle, and she was with her father that day as well. The Mexican immigrant named Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez who had been deported five times had said his gun fired accidentally. He was arrested shortly after this. It became so famous that a law is trying to be made from this. This had caused arguments on a bunch of things one of them being gun possession. Another thing argued from this was immigration. He had been an illegal immigrant and did something totally unacceptable. One person especially enraged from this was Donald Trump. (Jack)

While nothing was said about the second amendment in this it still has some effect to the arguments today. One of the things some people say is that usually people who were not born in the United States are more likely to do something violent with firearms. As we see here a Mexican immigrant had been the person with a gun. Not saying that its likely from people not born in the U.S to do something violent with firearms its just something some people say. A lot of the People running for president in 2016 and Obama are discussing this amendment and will try to do something with this amendment. Obama wants to get rid of guns but is unsuccessful. The law people are trying to make from the shooting at the San Francisco pier make it so that the peoples rights to bear arms might not be like it was when the amendment was first introduced into the Constitution. I think that peoples rights to bear arms should not be taken away, it should just be changed so that the U.S government will pay less attention to this. (Jack)

California Democrats are releasing a wave of gun control. The California Government is planning to release ten anti-gun laws. This act is being called by the rebels Gunmegeddon. This New anti-gun law will be banning ammunition magazines, banned grandfather fire arms and also adding restrictions on homemade guns. The FVRC or Firearms Violence Research Center wanted to change how California used assault weapons and ammunition and how we reported stolen guns. But the opponents have a different idea. Opponent: National Rifle Association, California Rifle and Pistol Association and the Firearms Policy Coalition. This amendment is relevant today because Many People still own guns in the world today (2nd Amendment) By Daniel Eugenin

NRA or National Rife Association or gun lobby was accused for holding a congress hostage .NewYork Daily News talked with a terrorist or the chief of National Rife Association. Waylaperrie said
"The passion underlying such condemnations may be understandable, especially in the wake of the horrific mass shootings that often prompt them. But this rhetoric does little to change the gun debate, and most likely reinforces gun owners’ worst fears about how liberals see." The NRA Also made their point that the 2nd amendment protects the idea to own a gun. This Idea is Still relevant today because many people are being convicted into owning a gun By Daniel Eugenin |
