Gun Control
In recent historical times, gun control has been a largely debated topic in the United States. There are endless arguments on whether there should be gun control or not, floating around in mass media and almost all social medias. There should not be gun control because it would end up harming America and personal lives more than the other way around. People who support gun control generally do so because of the heightened amount of gun crimes, murders and tragedies in the recent past. They also think that since owning and purchasing guns is completely legal, it may fall into the wrong hands and cause a massacre that could’ve been avoided if there was more gun control. Those who oppose do so because they see the other end …show more content…
Using complete logic, Americans should agree with the famous statement from the NRA’s website stating: “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” This is one of the largest reasons a lot of Americans stand behind keeping guns and freedom. Disarming law abiding citizens would only leave them defenseless, when “bad citizens” or criminals, would happily keep their guns and continue to follow through with their bad intentions. To further my point, criminals would feel relieved to know that the good citizens of America are unarmed, therefore relieving their stress of lethal retaliation when in situations that could potentially be dangerous for them(such as a break-in). Many who support gun control do not think or realize these things. They think of the frightening stats from major cities such as New York, which consistently see things like 33% spike in gun murders every year, according to the New York Post. There is never a perfect situation either way, but having a right to own guns would prevent far more tragedies rather than cause …show more content…
The fact of the matter is, police are here to serve justice over anything else. While the police will protect you if they’re there, in almost any life threatening situation with another individual, the police will not be present, but rather after the fact. They’ll be there to clean up your body and investigate and convict the person who did it, hence why the police are part of the justice system, not the “protection” system. When it comes down to the heat of the moment, it’s up to you to defend yourself, and justice doesn’t mean much when you’ve already been shot or dead. The right to own a firearm is a wonderful freedom this country has, which gives the opportunity to protect yourself from an armed criminal and stay alive; a freedom which almost all other countries don’t have. For example, take a moment and ask yourself if you’d feel more safe owning a firearm and knowing how to use it, or not owning a firearm while there’s somebody in your life that hates you, is mental, and has the possibility of showing up at your doorstep ready to hurt/kill you. Yeah, I thought
