In English class we had to write a paper about how we need gun control and how it would affect the U.S. While I was writing the paper it was hard to argue most topics like “if guns are banned and there is a crime, you are sitting a duck waiting for the police to come save you. While if you were allowed to carry you would be able to save or help in the situation. How is banning guns going to help the innocent American people who are sitting ducks?” These kind of question got me thinking we don’t need any more gun control, we need guns to protect the American people.

For example cities with a handgun ban like New York, Chicago, Detroit, and DC suffer from high rates of handgun crimes. Even though drugs are banned, they are still really easy to get, the same thing will happen with guns. When a potential victim can protect himself, it makes the intruder weary.

Out of the 2.5 million who use guns for protection, less than 8% of the time the user will kill or injure the attacker. Over 200 thousand women own a gun to defend themselves against sexual abuse (GOA). Every year a half a million Americans protect themselves with a gun away from home, concealed carry licenses are dropping crime rates across the country. The murder rate dropped by 8.5% , rapes 5%, aggravated assaults 7% and robbery 3% for the states that allow concealed firearms (GOA). “If those states not having concealed carry laws had adopted such laws in 1992, then approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults and over 11,000 robberies would have been avoided yearly” think of all the lives we could of saved if we legalized concealed carry arms
