The Pros And Cons Of Gun Control

Discussion Comparing the United States’ homicidal statistics to England and Wales’, I’ve been moderately persuaded towards the opponent’s side of gun control. It’s difficult to dictate what’s morally acceptable in today’s society with the increasing amounts of controversy, but noticing the dramatic increases in crime rate due to the lack in supply of guns, versus the dramatic decreases in crime rate because of an increase in the supply of guns, definitely proves the consequences of gun control to a certain degree. I would also have to agree that ridding the public from their firearms does take away the privilege of defending ourselves from any sort of crime. With the given results, knowing that our American citizens defend themselves from

Our country was technically founded upon the second amendment including the Bill of Rights. Is it wrong to take away something that our founding father’s permitted so long ago? One may infer that our Country’s government and economy has evolved over time and that gun control is something we need. I’d agree that our country has evolved, but so has our technology in weapons and technology in general. When the prohibition of alcohol of 1920-1933 took place, more citizens actually got drunk and found ways to buy alcohol than the U.S. did when alcohol wasn’t under prohibition. This is similar to gun-control because with our evolution in technology, our society will still be able to get their hands on firearms if they become illegal in my perspective. The United States of America is considered a free country and that being said, I believe that all citizens of America, under certain requirements, should be given the ability to bear

that were created and then dismissed, the statistics covering questions on gun-control, and finally, discussing the results in my perspective of gun-control. I do stand on the opposing side of gun-control for multiple reasons that I described in the discussion, but I do understand where the proponents are coming from. Guns are very dangerous and should, yes, always be regulated, but only to an extent. Guns are our freedom of survival and our ability to hunt for game. Our country has gone centuries with this law standing its place in the Constitution, so I wouldn’t agree with getting rid of it when statistics show we’re more likely to go downhill then up. In my perspective, when you give someone a gun in order to protect themselves, they will understand the meaning of that gun. When you take away someone’s firearms when dealing with someone who does have a firearm, in my opinion, that person will beg you for a gun. The right to bear arms is a very protective, yet dangerous amendment, but in order to keep our homeland safe, sometimes those types of decisions must be made. The controversy over our right to bear arms will most likely remain active for the time being, and that’s understandable, but hopefully our government and majority of our society realizes the bigger picture
