First let's start with why the left (Democrats, Progressives, Socialists, Communists) want to have very strict and/or good-based gun laws sense. The left wants gun laws because they think gun laws actually work, they think gun laws actually stop crime, they think gun violence or violence in general can be stopped, but in reality none of those are true. Every time a traditional shooting or mass shooting occurs, the left goes crazy pushing for more gun laws, they (the left) say more and more “common sense” gun laws/reforms, but really every single law/ gun regulation is unconstitutional. “It must not be violated!” - Second Amendment. This means that the right to bear arms (right to bear arms) must not be impeded. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"? Get an original essayIt is proven by gun statistics that an increase in gun laws/regulations has no correlation with a decrease in overall violence, in fact when there are fewer almost zero gun laws/regulations, the overall crime rate is very Bass. The left will never be able to point out where gun laws/regulations or even gun bans actually have or do work. Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws/regulations in the nation. It's nearly impossible to buy a gun, but Chicago has one of the highest crime rates in the nation. In fact, any state/city that has a very strict grip on gun laws/regulations has a higher crime rate than a state or city with fewer gun laws or regulations. The left knows these statistics are true, but why do they continue to preach for more gun laws/regulations? It's actually a simple answer, it may seem radical, but it's the truth, the left wants increased gun laws even though they know it doesn't work because they want to disarm the populists. The left has already tried to limit the First Amendment to “protect” others from hate speech, even if hate speech doesn't exist, they constantly censor the right (conservatives, republicans, far right, far right). If this is not enough to prove that the left is actually trying to repeal the second or even prosecute our guns, then read this. (“Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens calls for repeal of the Second Amendment, denouncing the right to bear arms as outdated and misunderstood.” -The Hill) Many left-wing activists call for gun bans and more gun laws . The left wants to ban all "assault rifles" even though the term assault rifle is very vague, and even the term does not exist because a weapon is designed simply as a deterrent and to defend and not to attack, this logic of calling an object assault before it is even used is ridiculous because assault means being past and not present. If someone gets beaten by a bat, is it called a "assault bat" or just a "bat"? Please note: this is just an example. Get a custom paper from our expert writers now.

In reality, this wouldn't work in the United States. The US simply has too many weapons (up to 300+ million) and it would not work as effectively in the US because confiscation will lead to a flood of weapons into the black market.
