Gun control is a huge deal to me and the rest if America. It is a huge deal and there are two very different sides. Guns are used for many reasons and they are protection against criminals/ animals. Or others see it as a weapon to hurt others and used to harm animals. And hunting a recreational activity for ages one to one hundred.
People should be allowed to carry guns and should have the right to do so. With the proper background checks and safety tests. Guns protect people from people and animals. If a criminal held you gun point that wouldn't be good. Also in Alaska and Montana bears attack people every so often it would suck to be in that situation say on a hike and not close to any civilization. I read an article about how a grizzly charged a man and his wife and he fired off

Guns are great for protection and they are a great tool for everyone. People should carry guns. Gun control does not work. For example Colorado has a limit on forty round clips but before the elementary shooting it was alright and they didn't come door to door asking for clips. Many many people have those clips and a law will not stop it. For another example look at Mexico they have some of the most strict gun control in the world. That is not the crazy part yet they also have one of the highest gun violence rate and mortality. If that does not help you I don't know what will you want to take away guns from civilians and the people who use them the right way. It does not get much clearer than that you take away guns from civilians and guess what?
The criminals will still have them look at Mexico! It will not stop because they are criminals if you took guns away good people will not have them but bad people will. Let's use cocaine as an example illegal and bad, good people don't have it but bad people do rules and laws don't stop them. That will make everything way worse because criminals won't give up their guns. That is why is you want gun control in the United States it would not
Tragedy after tragedy, people find themselves mourning over the lives lost. And over and over again, they look back to see how they could have prevented it. People continue to argue and constantly debate what actions should be taken, and while doing so, more and more people lose their lives at the hands of gun violence. It’s clear to see that not much has been done to keep these weapons out of the wrongs hands: the shootings at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech have shown that. What would happen if there were to be another devastating shooting to occur? How would people react? Or would they just argue some more, while the wrong people can still easily get a hold of guns? The only way they can ever gain control of anything is by controlling the source of the problem, where people are able to freely purchase guns without restrictions. In order to reduce gun-related crime, unlicensed gun sellers should be required to run background checks on their customers.

McMahan backs up his premises by showing that in other “Western Countries, per capita homicide rates, as well as rates of violent crime involving guns, are a fraction of what they are in the United States.” (McMahan, 4) After reading this statement, we are to assume that those countries have more gun regulations, and ultimately our limited gun regulations and access to firearms are what is driving so much violence within our country. Gun advocates deny this claim,
Law abiding citizens should have the right to protect themselves against criminals. You are less likely to suffer an injury when attacked if you are carrying a handgun, as opposed to other methods of self-protection. The right to carry a concealed handgun is protected by the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Constitution states “the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed” (ProCon.org 1).Carrying a handgun could keep a lot of people from being killed during a public shooting incident. Concealed handguns protect citizens from violent crimes such as burglary and robbery. Most criminals are armed and you don’t have much of a chance of survival if you are not carrying a

Furthermore, handgun homicide rates in the U.S. are 15.3 times higher than in Canada. Finally, firearm robbery rates in the U.S. are 3.5 times higher than in Canada.
Take a look at the history of our country and the role guns have played in it. According to the second amendment gun ownership is perfectly legal and guaranteed as a right. There were and are good reasons for this, luckily they are still practiced today. Back in the day guns used to be for hunting and, on the occasion self defense. But when the colonists of this country had enough of British rule, they picked up there own personal guns and went to war and the British saw first hand how powerful the rough band of average American gun owners were.

Men and women of America have the right to keep and bear arms to protect themselves. Guns prevent crimes from happening countless amount of times each and everyday.

Right to Carry a Concealed Weapon Who has the right to carry a concealed weapon? Some people have different views on who should carry a concealed weapon. I believe certain people should have the right to carry a conceal weapon. A weapon is not a toy and should not be able to put in everyone’s hand.
The gun control topic is one of the most controversial themes in the United States. Many citizens worry about the facts that guns are getting out of control and crime is increasing. I think there are solutions that will help to have a better control of guns in the U.S, such as reducing military weapons, reduction of capacity of magazines, and increase the age for buying guns to 24 years old.
