Will gun laws stop violence?
Almost everyone I know, knows what a gun is and what it is capable of. We know how dangerous they can be and how much damage they can do, but is eliminating the second amendment and taking our guns really going to stop any kind of violence with guns from happening? I would have to say no, because even though guns can be “banned” or “illegal” there will still be ways for people to get them just like they are getting drugs and other items that are illegal right now, whether it be an everyday citizen that does not feel safe without one, or a gang member that feels they need it to survive.

This world is not perfect and I highly doubt that it ever actually will
