The history and amendments of Laws on Gun Politics in America and the dangers associated with the possession of Guns.

Gun politics is an issue that has been taken so seriously by most countries. In the past, during World War II, most powerful States like Russia, Germany and America had different opinions on the manufacture of arms and the use of arms. As a result, the United Nations decided to put regulations on the manufacture, use and supply of guns to control the misuse of guns by the major States and the allies. Gun politics can therefore be said to be more concerned with the safety of the people, from the misuse of guns by the criminals and individuals who can access the gun since most countries are sovereign in nature (Lieuwen, 1960).

Rules and regulation on the use of guns had to be put in place despite the fact that laws vary from one State to another but for the sake of unity and to avoid unnecessary aggressions, there was need to come up with rules on the use and possession of guns. The rules outline on the manufacture, possession of guns and the supply or the distribution of guns from one person State to another (Lieuwen, 1960).

Gun politics in the United States
Enforcement of laws and regulation of gun politics has faced a lot of opposition from most people and parties in America since most of the people believe that they have the right to own guns. However, for the last few decades gun politics has been debated extensively by both the executive organ and the House of Commons to come up with the best laws to govern the use of arms by individuals and the government especially in fighting crime. The amendments or the second amendment was mainly concerned with the individual rights to possess gun and is well stated in the bill of rights, the amendment was adopted 14 years after the American government gained independence and was reflected in the constitution (Lieuwen, 1960).

My opinion
The laws and regulations to own gun in America and the amendments that were made in line with gun possession by the individuals has led to the increase in criminal cases and misuse of guns both by the adults and the people below 18 years. The amendments therefore have led to the emergence of new gun culture in America, as they believe that they have the right to own guns.

Conclusion
It is therefore in order to ensure that the regulations on gun use, be well defined in the constitution to avoid misuse of guns and to ensure that the innocent lives are not taken away by the people who do not understand the laws and regulation. Finally, gun politics has been a major debate in most countries as some countries such as the United States believe that they have the right to manufacture guns as opposed to developing countries that feel they have the same right.
