Gun Laws Pros And Cons

Guns. Some people automatically think of violence and death when they hear this word. While other think about self-protection, an inalienable right, and fun. These two groups are the main voices in the gun control conversation that debates how much the government should/can control gun flow in the United States. There are many other groups that are in the conversation that aren’t 100% anti-gun, or all the way guns-for-everyone supporter.
