The Issue Of Gun Control

Gun control is not one issue, but many. To most people gun control is an issue of crime and to others it is simply a rights issue. Gun control is a safety issue, an education issue, and a racial issue. With all of these issues there are people who want more gun control and those who want less.

Many people around the United States are victims of shootings, whether they be school shootings, mass shootings, or Terrorist Attacks. There seem to be two common ideas either support or oppose gun control. In the United States, many gun control supporters believe that guns are the reason mass shootings happen while gun control opponents believe that people are the cause of mass shootings. But they both want the people in the United States to be safe, whether that is from government tyranny, mass shootings, gun violence, or mental health.

First, many women actually agree with exercising the right to conceal carry a gun with them.

- For decades gun control has always been a very controversial issue in America. The Second Amendment states it is an individual's right to bare arms and by having stronger laws on guns, that would only be taking their right away, However, we have seen violent crimes rise due to guns, we have seen many people lose their lives and get hurt. Americans should be for gun control because it can help prevent school shootings, stronger regulations can help stop gun loopholes, and stronger laws can make it harder for people that have a bad record to get a gun. With the enormous amount of violence in today's society, individuals need to take a stand demanding stricter regulations on guns.

Gun control is a very controversial topic to the United States. With increasing terrorist attacks and gunmen, people are taking sides in the conflict. On the top looking in, it seems that the country is split directly in two with increasing statistics supporting both sides. “In 2015, about 32,000 Americans died of gunshot wounds, about eighty-eight every day.” (Sharon, Johnson) which supports Gun Control Activists. “Statistics show that domestic violence has rose from 18,000 records to 95 records since to 2008 to 2015.” (Gretta Goodwin) which supports Gun Right Activists and their need for guns.

Since the 1990s, debates regarding firearm availability and gun violence in the United States have been characterized by concerns about the right to bear arms.

Gun rights supporters promote firearms for self-defense, hunting, sporting activities, and security against tyranny. Gun rights advocates also believe firearm ownership by law abiding citizens reduces crime.

Gun control activists oppose all the factual statistics that have ever been proven they do this because they are denying the truth that guns will cause more good that harm. Theses activists have their minds made up because no matter who says what or what happens they are negative on guns, despite the facts. Now there are 31 states that have non-discretionary concealed gun carry laws that allow law-abiding citizens to carry concealed handguns for protection in public, even this can't change their minds.

Gun control issue have become very debatable in the U.S. There was a study about how many people die in mass shooting.

Gun prohibition may sound like a good thing to control over who can use guns but sometimes gun prohibition can be sexist.Police and society expects women to resist rape by using their fists, fingernails, keyrings, and scream for help, But why does any women must protect them self that way? In 2000 and until now,there have been about 75% of rapes in California that looks very serious and it questions us how are any women are supposed to protect themselves that way.There is a best solution to solve all this and the best way is to own a gun. We should buy a gun and learn to use it and the reason why women are more likely to be raped or assaulted or robbed is because many believe that women are weak and scared enough to go and beg the State for protection. A woman who stands proud, armed, and fearless will be able to scare anyone who tries to hurt us in any way possible.
