Today in America, gun control is a very serious issue.

There are different opinions


on this issue, the National Rifle Association (NRA), feels that guns are safe when
used for protection by responsible citizens, others feel that guns are far too
dangerous to be kept in homes, and that guns should not be owned by anyone,
only used by the National Guard and law enforcement. These people think their
opinions are correct according to the second amendment, the amendment that
deals with the bearing of arms by citizens of America, but there have been different
interpretations of it. The reason that people feel gun ownership is such a problem
is that so many people lose their lives by them each year. Personally, I feel that
guns lead to increases in crime, murder, and household accidents. By reducing
availability of guns and providing education on gun safety, I think that these things
will help make America safer. Before making up my mind on what I felt about the
issue, I made sure to consider the opinions of others and to collect statistics.

People from the (NRA), who are against gun control, feel that the people are
responsible for the negative effects guns have on America.

In my opinion, Although these people do have good points, I cannot say that I
agree with everything they state. For one thing, it is true that the people are
responsible for how they use guns but not true to say that guns are not part of the
problem. You cannot just get rid of people who are incapable of knowing how to
treat guns correctly, but you can take away guns, so that these problems and
accidents will not occur at all.

The gun debate in America has two immutable positions with little potential to
move ahead with meaningful legislative reform. Some people, manifest in variable
degrees of support for or opposition to gun control legislation

So I want to say a question: Do guns kill people or do people kill people?


One side believes that guns are a menace to public safety, while the other believes
that they are an essential tool of self-preservation.

Much people say about If having a gun increases the risk of gun-related violent
death in the home, SO why do people choose to own guns?

A few studies have reported that handgun ownership is associated with past
victimization, perceived risk of crime, and perceived ineffectiveness of police
protection within low-income communities where these concerns may be congruent
with real risks

May be they have a connection between gun ownership and racial tensions by
examining the cultural symbolism and socio-political meaning of guns. weapons in
public as patriots, while marking armed black men as threats or criminals.”

“the Great American Gun Debate… has convulsed the national polity for the better
part of four decades without producing results satisfactory to either side”

I have to conclude that “people kill people… with guns”
