Gun Control Aids Criminal Acts
With there being nine guns for every ten people in the United States, some people say that guns are too readily available to the public. Yet less than half of the crimes committed in the country are guns involved. Even though guns are dangerous and are used to commit crimes, crime will not stop due to the ineffectiveness of gun control. Crime will adapt no matter the laws that are put into place.

Shaneen was held in jail for forty days, away from her dependent kids. The whole problem could have been avoided if concealed carry permits are honored in all states. As well as if the requirements for getting one were the same as well.
The problem does not lie in guns; it lay within the minds of the demented. Law abiding citizens do not kill people at a whim. It is the crazy and the desperate that murder hundreds a year, if not thousands. Bryce Williams is a testament that the mentally ill go on rampages. He even stated to the press, “I’ve been a human powder keg for a while… just waiting to go BOOM!!!” Bryce had been gloating on social media on his kills of his coworkers. He was insane in every sense of the word, yet people are still only going after the weapons used in his
