Stab At Our Infatuation With Guns

Mass shooting has become very common these days due to the allowance of the ownership of the guns to the citizens of the USA. The issue is whether the private citizens of the United States should be able to continue to own guns. In the article “Taking a Stab at Our Infatuation with Guns”, Molly Evins argues about the allowance of gun ownership to the people of the United States and she mentions that people should get proper training to own guns. Many people might argue that gun ownership should be continued because the second amendment allows the right to bear arms. Furthermore, the opponents argue that it is necessary for self-defense at home and various other places. They also argue that it lessens the mass shootings. Other people, however,

These crimes may include crime of passion, armed robberies etc. Gun control should be stricter because owning guns not only provides self-defense, but it also harms the people. Some criminals might get it themselves, others might end up stealing them from licensed owners The main problem with private citizens legally possessing a gun is that when a crime will take place, the criminal will have a licensed gun and will be legally recorded which will decrease the chance to be tried for illegal ownership of gun.. Not only criminals can have those guns but also children or teenagers of the licensed owners can access the guns which can get them in trouble. Family members can get hold of it and use it for entertainment but rather harm themselves. If the laws are stricter many crimes can be avoided. Some armed people don’t have proper training to use the weapons and they might end up hurting themselves or others near them which might have serious consequences. If everyone walks around with a gun with them, people become suspicious about them and they become suspects of a crime. Limiting the gun ownership to professionals will decrease the risk of crimes and
