There are many points in favor of the Assault Weapon Ban. The Second Amendment’s purpose is not to give every American a completely free rein on guns, there should be limitations. Continuing with this thought, some laws on guns are older than the Second Amendment itself; therefore new gun laws could improve our society. (Pro Con , 2016) Assault Weapons are not important for the use of sports or self defense. (Kellams, 2012) A ban like the Assault Weapon Ban would not hurt hunting and would not have any impact on the crime rate, because Assault Weapons have never improved the amount of crime in an area before. (Letters to the Editor, 2012) In conclusion, the argument in favor of the Assault Weapon Ban has many strong points
