The Gun Laws: Gun Proof Kids Not Child Proof Guns Marcus J Paulus According to Begala (2013): People who own weapons should know their terrible, lethal power far better than non-gun owners. Once you pull a trigger in a vacant field and see a beer can instantly explode, you know there is no force on earth that can undo that destruction. Sure, shooting brings a rush--but it should also spur humility. At least in the gun culture I know, it does. (p. 7) There has been a lot of talk about
Georgia has many gun laws, which help protect the state and the people in the state. The laws range from having a permit to carry a hand gun, where you cannot carry a handgun, what kind of guns you can carry without having a firearm permit, what age someone can buy a gun.

In april last year i remember that i was caught in a gun scare at Penn station. The only thing i can remember is how scared i was that there was someone walking around with a gun trying to kill me.

that owned guns in relation to the independent variable, age. From the table it I clear that a high majority of people have at least one gun in their household. People belonging to the younger age group, 18-30, are more likely have one gun in their household than people in the older age groups, 31-50 and 51-95. Another thing that we can infer from this table is that in most households you will only find one gun. From the table we can see that about 87% of people have at least one gun in their house
“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” I have heard and seen this slogan almost everywhere I go, but what does it exactly mean? Guns are objects, and are just another TOOL used for self-defense. Guns cannot kill or hurt people, but rather it’s the people who handle and carry the guns that harm and kill others. Our government needs to take a closer look at our gun laws, and come up with a law that will help keep America safe. Recently our law makers of Texas have presented a bill that will

Although, there are parties against the fight for guns; many do not realize the importance of people being able to protect themselves.

With the recent increase in gun-related tragedies, politicians have adjusted their stumping to address America's gun laws. Taking a strong position on the gun laws is understandable, as a majority of the American people find themselves on one side of a political dichotomy; the two sides of which seek either to preserve the current gun laws, or to restrict the American people's right to bear arms. The answer to the current hysteria surrounding gun laws lies not on the side of restriction, but on the
