Should Gun Laws Be More Strict The 1791 Constitutional second amendment of the United States of America allowed that people can have the capability to keep and bear firearms (Spitzer). Gun laws and restrictions are different in various states across America and also among other countries. Some countries do not even allow anybody to own a gun unlike in America where the second amendment allow the people of USA to own guns. Nevertheless, there has been controversies and discussions for a long period to make gun laws stricter while others claim that guns should be taken away.

The people who were killed in the shooting would still be alive and well. Gun laws that are not strict undermine the safety of the citizens and people in the surrounding. Therefore, to bring about safety in the environment, gun control laws should be made stricter. Works Cited
