Gun Control

In the past events of gun shooting, reconsideration of gun control laws in America have been hot topic of discussion in the government. America is one of the countries with the least amount of regulations on guns. This is because America is known for its patriotic citizens, and the right to bear arms is written in the constitution. It is important that we talk about gun control, because guns are lethal weapons. We need more regulations in order to prevent unnecessary deaths and injuries caused by guns. In my paper I’ll introduce two problems that are caused by a lack of regulations. The first problem is that guns are too easy to obtain because America does not have strict enough background checks. This is a problem because citizens easily get weapons required for mass shootings. The second problem is that unintentional deaths can be caused by children because of gun accessibility. This is a problem because these deaths are preventable by making guns less accessible to children with child access prevention laws that held parents legally responsible for improper storage of guns. My third point will talk about the other side’s point of view. People must be able to be equipped to protect themselves against potential injury or death from firearms. However, my counter point is that there are effective personal defense weapons that are less likely to cause death than heavy weapons, like 9mm pistols and tasers.
