Gun control is the topic that is causing debates, especially with the NRA. President Obama wants background checks, plans to ban all Military style weapons, and wants to launch a gun safety campaign in the near future. To me, that doesn’t sound like it’s going to help. I am all for not having gun control and here’s why,
Republicans are controversial and Democrats are the same. No one can agree on this issue. Gun control is a chaotic topic between many Americans. Many politicians like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders agree with gun control, but Ted Cruz and Rick Perry are totally against it. Democrat, James Webb doesn’t even want gun control. I believe Americans should focus on self control rather than gun control.
Everyone cares about their safety, but are debating on how to handle it. Americans believe that if we have gun control, then gun crime will reduce, but some people believe it’s not the gun, it’s the person and that’s correct, but even if we have gun control, a burglar can still get ahold of a gun just as easily. Guns aren’t dangerous, people are.
Some people are using the 2nd Amendment, Right To Bear Arms in their debate. They’re saying that if we have gun control, then it’s taking our rights away. Most Americans aren’t aware of what the 2nd Amendment is actually written for, the English colonists had lived under a tyrant ruler. They were forced to live by rules set by the King and basically had no freedom. Rights such as the 2nd Amendment gives us common Americans the guarantee of not falling back into that type of tyranny. My opinion is that all Americans desire to live in a free society and by keeping our rights and freedoms, we must do our part to ensure those liberties.
Gun control is basically not a well thought out plan. It again comes down to self control. If a person wants to commit a violent act, which we have seen it done before by criminals using box cutters used for cutting boxes, machetes used for clearing brush and limbs, and of course guns used for sport or hunting.
These objects that save us in the daily life, have been used out of context by a person. It’s not the “weapon” or object, it’s the simply the person.
