Gun Control

             The Second amendment states that people have the right to bear arms. Still, many states are trying to implement gun control laws. Some of them want them to be banned completely and others agree to have the right to keep a gun. I feel that we should have the right to have a weapon for our own safety. Maybe the alternatives to gun control will take longer and require more effort and money to put into place than restricting guns and requiring universal background checks, but if President Obama really means what he says when he talks about how important it is to protect lives, he should be willing to do whatever it takes to protect U.S. citizens, and realize that more gun control will not protect the people he says he wants to protect. I believe that our country will become safer when more and more law abiding citizens are able to exercise their rights and obtain guns for their safety. If gun control laws are passed everyone will ignore them and continue trading guns as they always have. And the result of that will be everyone or most people who own a gun will be criminals.

  1. Great points are made and I agree with them. I believe that if everyone exercises the right to keep a firearm in their person they will be able to protect themselves much better. Chicago is a great example gun control errors where they have some of the highest violent crime percentages in all our country because of so many gun free zones.
