We Have The Right To Bare Arms

Did you know that “The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about 270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita(by or for each individual person) number in the world? 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women)” The problem with guns is not the gun themselves is the regulations that follow them.

But taking guns away from civilians them will lead to more deaths because the people won't have anything to protect themselves against break-ins and
