It has been said “The second amendment is about an individual 's right and the protection of that individual 's right to have guns” (Chemerinsky). A controversial topic that citizens of the United States deal with is the laws and limitations placed on the right to bear arms. This debate ultimately has an effect on the lives of all American People.

One thing that is brought to the public 's attention by many pro gun supporters is that in order for a killer to carry out their plan of taking as many lives as possible they must select a location for their attack that will be in their favor. Often, the killer will choose an area that they feel will have the least amount of weapons that could potentially be used against them. This idea is backed up by the facts from the shooting in Orlando that took place at a gay bar. Omar Mateen, the killer responsible for killing 49 people and wounding over 50, strategically choose to attacked this specific bar because he knew that their was a less likely chance for any of the people in the bar to be carrying a concealed weapon. This shooting recorded the largest mass shooting in United States history. Mateen’s actions were finally shut down after three hours, when the local police shot and killed Mateen. The Police force was the first group of people to approach Mateen and eventually succeeded in stopping his mass killing by taking him down with a gun. The reason that this example is so important to the argumentative topic of gun control, is because Omar Mateen, along with many other killers in the country, including the shooter in Charleston SC, who attacked a church, felt as if they had attacked a place with the least possible chance of having guns. By choosing to attack these locations the killers often believe that they will be able to kill more people without being taken down as quickly. The shooter believes that if they were killed quickly then their attempted mass shooting would have been a fail (Ellis). This explains why shooters commonly attack areas that are least protected. This is the same reason that no shooters attempt to follow through with a plan to attack any of our nation 's highest protected facilities. Because
