Gun Control has been quite the topic of debate lately. After everything that happened in early 2018 with school shootings many people want to crack down on Gun Control. Other feel that buying and owning a gun is important for protection and is one of their liberties.
Pros
The issue of Gun Control has gotten so out of hand that many children are scared of going to school because of the possibility of a shooting. Some states have begun making stricter laws and banning certain extension such as bump stocks. Pro Gun Control agrees that this is a good start but would like to see the ban of all assault rifles and stricter laws on the ability to buy these weapons. Today it is way too easy to buy guns especially at an unregulated gun auction. The Pro Gun Control side also believes that the lack of guns in circulation will reduce shootings and crime
Cons
Being able to buy and own a gun is a right that is protected by the 2nd amendment. These amendments have shaped our country into one of the biggest superpowers in the world. The shootings are truly pure evil but we shouldn’t change our laws just because some people are abusing the system. We must remember that guns don’t kill people, but that people kill people. Making tougher gun laws will not decrease crime because criminals will buy guns illegally, gun control will only keep guns out of law abiding citizens. The only thing that these laws will do is make it harder for good citizens to protect themselves.
