Gun control remains to be one of the most popular debates along with abortion, animal testing, and climate change. What makes gun control so controversial? Well, many people have different views on the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which reads as “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Advocates for gun control believe this applies only to police and military, but will gun control actually help reduce crime.

Any subsequent military invasion—probably armed with AK-47 variants—would find it very easy to overrun civilians armed only with lever, bolt, and pump action weapons.” Now I know that all five branches of the United states military being beaten seems very far fetched, but something similar very similar to being attacked is …show more content…
I will continue to show my support against gun control, because there are just too many facts and statistics that show it does not work, it didn’t work for countries like Mexico and big cities like Chicago where death by gun continues to be higher than ever. Not only will it not work, it will also not make it any harder for criminals to get the weapon they require, since there will always be a way for them to get their hands on them, whether from out of state or out the country or even from a friend or family member.
