Gun Control

As you may know it, Gun control is a topic that has been scattered around lately due to the shootings. What many governments have been doing is banning weapons that have been involved with these shootings. Many are not supporting this idea due to more crime.


I claim that banning weapons will not help our shooting problem, But make it worse. Yes Banning weapons will make them harder to get but you cannot ban everything. If a criminal wants to get an assault rifle, he will get one, Yes he .is breaking the law, but that's what criminals do. Also the banning of weapons that are involved in shootings won't work.  For example, If a person shoots up a school with a .22 Pistol, They will ban .22 Pistols and people will find different weapons until we ban everything and breaks the 2nd amendment and we will go into civil war.


What I think we should do is stop banning weapons and allow more concealed  weapon permits. Texas did this and everyone thought it would be like the wild west again but it drastically reduced crime. This reduces crime in a way like this, A criminal is not going to rob a place if they know that there is a chance that the store clerk has a firearm. And this goes for everything else as well. Shooters kill easily because they know the Victim efend themselves. At the moment most Bank Guards are not able to hold firearms. If we can get shooters to know there is a risk of self defense. it will be more hard for them to plan an attack

  1. I don't think this would be inertly accurate, I'm pro guns but I think people need to understand if guns were banned and they will all taken from citizens (though this will take a massive effort) there will be almost no gun deaths compared to where we were before. But on the other spectrum if we armed more sane capable people, I think the world would also be a safer place. We are a country born and founded on guns so I do not think my first solution would work, but I do believe we should be more careful who we give guns. At this point in America there is no way we will ever solve this problem unless we took all the guns away. Giving everyone a gun would make it safer yes, but there will be a lot more shootings, though the shooter might get shot before he can do damage, but there will be more of them. In a perfect world guns should be banned but we don't live in one, and our Government could become tyranist, or be invaded. So in short guns is the price we have to pay for our own protection.
