Research paper about why president Obama gun policy failed
Resultantly, during the presidency, President Barack Obama’s gun policy failed. Understanding the gun policy, we must know about the background of how the gun allows to the US citizen. Actually, one of the most famous about the United States America is that country allows the gun to their citizen. Sometime, purchasing the gun into the gun shop is much easier than passing the DMV driving test. Most of countries do not allow the gun to their citizen for many reason such as abuse issue. Therefore, only national military, police and security use and carry the gun by the permission from the government. However, the United States America is different from other countries. With a permission and license, people can easily buy the gun from gun market.
“There are more than 393 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States, or enough for every man, woman and child to own one and still have 67 million guns left over.” Already, there are too many gun in usa, as well as few people has a multiple gun for personal reason. Actually, it is the countable number of gun, so gun from the black market and unannounced gun are hard to count or impossible.
Depending on the purpose it can be a grateful weapon to protect the outside danger as well as killing weapon, too.
First of all, during the western age people bring the gun for the safety issues. Not only for the safety issues, but also for fighting reasons with the Native American known as American Indian, so white American carry the gun all time. Therefore, gun is the symbolizing item that white American that they built the country which known as USA. From the US history, due to the democracy reasons, 13 state against the kingdom of Great Britain. After the the article of confederation and Constitutional convention, james Madison wrote the The bill of rights for protecting the personal rights. The purpose of the bill of rights are to protect the personal rights from the government. The most important thing is the 2nd amendment
“A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed”
At that time, when congress agree and made the gun policy, tor the security of the freedom, james Madison proposed the 2nd amendment.

Therefore, all of us citizen has a right to keep the gun. For whatever purpose, us citizen has a right to bear arms. Nowadays, most of families have a gun to protect their family from outside of danger such as wild animal. Because most of wild animal in USA is bigger than human such as grizzle bear, black bear, cougar, bison, wolf and jaguar. Not only for the protecting from wild animal, but also protect family from abusing the gunner who losing self-control and killing innocent people.
Gun deaths in US reach highest level in nearly 40 years, CDC data reveal

At 2009 barack Obama become a 44th us president. He is the fisrt black ameircan president in the United States of America. During the president terms, barack obma argue and suggest seventeen times about the strong gun policy.
During the senator and presidency, president barack Obama talked about the gun control policy on public.
“From South Central L.A. to Newark, New Jersey, there’s an epidemic of violence that’s sickening the soul of this nation,”
this is what the president Obama said after the about the killings of 34 Chicago students
It shows that gun control; is very important to the US citizen. During the gun speech as well as gun control execution, one things that president points about the gun policy is assault weapon. President Obama believe that assault weapon increase the crime and death number in USA. However, Barack Obama is not a first president who tried to control the assault weapon policy. At 2004, when George Walker Bush was the president of the United States of America, the U.S.

Two most important thing about the president bush gun control are id check and banned assult weapon.
“During both the 2000 and the 2004 presidential campaign, Bush stated his support for background checks for gun buyers and for trigger locks. Additionally, he said on multiple occasions that the minimum age for carrying a handgun should be 21, not 18.”
“Bush stated his support for the ban during the 2000 presidential campaign but stopped short of pledging to sign an extension.”
At that time, id check and banned assault weapon are the answer to reduce the gun death, but it was not the major problem of the gun death. Statistically, more than half of the gun death is not a assault weapon.
https://www.thoughtco.com/gun-rights-under-president-george-w-bush-721332
“Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 that expired in 2004. Which means whatever the weapon look like Assault weapon was banned during the 1994 to 2004. After Assault Weapons control law banned, gun accident prove that appearance of the weapon and number of gun magazine does not increasing the gun crime. “
From the data from FBI, during the banned the assault weapon, it does not reduce the gun death.

It prove that assault weapon does not increasing the death rate by gun in us.
Sandy hook shooting was the primary reason of the president barack Obama legislate the law.

After the sandy hook shooting, President Barack Obama tries to executive orders the strong gun policy. Few list of the new gun rules made it after the sandy hook shooting. However the most important rule is checking the ID before purchasing the gun into the gun shop. Therefore, background checks for all gun sales and strengthens the background check system. This would include removing barriers under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act so that states may more freely share information about mental health issues involving potential gun purchasers.
Before vote the gun control policy, most of senate agreed with the background check of the gun control, but failed.
Senate blocks drive for gun control at april 17, 2013
At 04/17/2013, after the sandy hook shooting, the new gun rule about the checking the personal information and background for all gun sale, it looks like a pass the congress. However, power of the NRA is too powerful. As the result, senate who wiling to execute the rule was 56 senate. That means, it was not enough to break down the filibuster. By passing the rules they need 4 more senate. Whatever the rule pass, 60 out of 100 senate must agree the rule.

Actually there are few problem about the gun control.
1. Rate of dead about the gun
60% of dead from suicide.
“In 2016, the last year for which the CDC provides numbers, 22,938 people committed suicide by firearm, while 14,415 people died in gun homicides”
Which means, most of the gun death is the suicide, not a crime. At this point, what if the president Obama control the gun due gun death for the mass shooting and crime, it cannot be the reason for the gun control. Because, most of death due to the suicide.
https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000510/gun-suicide-homicide-comparison
The rate of death due to the gun is mostly suicide, not a crime.
2. Rate of gun crime or dead is from the black American
Race, Gender, & Gun Homicides: 2016 State of the Union
“In all age and gender categories, African Americans accounted for 13 percent of the U.S. population, but over 57 percent of the victims of homicide by firearm.”
Most of the crime and gun death from black male that is the true. So, id check for the black male might stronger than other race. It might be destroy the equality of the racism. Therefore, id check for specific race is argue the racism
https://jointcenter.org/blog/race-gender-gun-homicides-2016-state-union
Therefore, white American and Hispanic gun crime or dead is less than black American rate.
That is why this problem is relating with the racism problem
3. Most of gun crime is pistol, not an assault weapon
“Handguns are used in about nine times as many murders and eight times as many nonfatal violent crimes than rifles, shotguns and other firearms combined.”
Therefore, what the government must control is the pistol, hand gun not a assault weapon.

For one more, president barack Obama executive the new gun control

“Instructs the FBI to overhaul the background check system to make it more efficient and accurate. Improvements include increasing personnel by 50 percent, modernize NICS to allow for background checks to be processed 24/7 and permit better notification of state and local authorities when certain prohibited persons attempt to buy a gun.”

Just like normal discussion, there are two different group argue their opinion about the new president Obama gun control policy.
Agree

– Brady Law
On November 30, 1993, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was enacted, amending the Gun Control Act of 1968. The Brady Law imposed as an interim measure a waiting period of 5 days before a licensed importer, manufacturer, or dealer may sell, deliver, or transfer a handgun to an unlicensed individual. The waiting period applies only in states without an acceptable alternate system of conducting background checks on handgun purchasers. The interim provisions of the Brady Law became effective on February 28, 1994, and ceased to apply on November 30, 1998. While the interim provisions of the Brady Law apply only to handguns, the permanent provisions of the Brady Law apply to all firearms.
They applied the history of brady law

Disagree
– Abused the power of the central government to the state, central government cannot force the state
Gun control laws give too much power to the government and may result in government tyranny and the government taking away all guns from citizens
https://gun-control.procon.org/
– break down the constitutional value, known as the amendment 2
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution protects individual gun ownership

The power of NRA is too powerful. NRA involve all of the political system in USA. Moreover, NRA is one of the most powerful party in USA. It helps the government about the financial issue.

à Personal opinion about the gun
Gun control is one of the biggest and most serious problem in USA. Gun can be a one of the safety item at the same time it can be one of the dangerous item. Depending on the personal we need to control ourselves. Moreover, NRA, is the biggest and strongest party, therefore, government need a more strong law to control NRA. But I think that control NRA is not a major problem to control the gun in USA. Many people already had a gun with permission or not. During the century, few of people made bullet by themselves. And 3d printing is the biggest problem in the currently. What if control the gun, after homemade gun, is it possible to control or black market?
