Many people think we need gun control and more gun laws. According to the second amendment it is our right, to keep and bear arms. There is a large number of guns in the United States. There is an idea that the government wants to take our guns away completely. Would that even work? Will gun laws and restrictions help keep gun violence, shootings, robbery, and threats from happening? Can President Obama really change the gun laws or take away our guns with the second amendment? Why do people think more gun laws will keep us safer? Some people want it to be harder to buy guns with more regulations. They think that background checks would be one way to restrict gun sales. The United States has over 270,000,000 guns. That 's about 88.8 guns per 100 people. 22% of people have one or more guns, 35% of men have guns and 12% of women have guns (Control, 2016 p.1). There are more guns in the United States than anywhere else in the world. With those numbers would new gun restrictions laws work? Do we really need gun control?
The gun control debate is between people who only want the military and Law enforcement to have access to guns. To help and stop mass shootings, people want to have guns for themselves for a number of reasons. Some of those reasons are: to protect themselves, to hunt rather it for recreation or survival, maybe just for the fact that it 's our right to bear arms, meaning to own and use guns. But if they change the laws and take away our guns will this stop shootings and mass killings? No it won 't. According to Daniels K, from Infowars, Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws, and it is estimated that someone is shot every 2.8 hours. Despite the strict laws. Some people think if we take guns away from civilians, anyone who does not have a police or military badge, it will make all mass shootings or shootings of any kind go away. In this manner criminals and people planning to do harm with a gun can not get one, this will not work, because criminals don 't obtain their guns legally. If they want a gun badly enough they will do whatever it takes for them to get a gun, either that means stealing one or smuggling one across the border. In an operation organized by President Obama, the Arizona Field Office, and the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Put many guns into the Fast and Furious operation. John Dodson and Olindo Casa were on the case. They were watching the suspected gun traffickers. The traffickers bought the guns and then took them to a separate locations. Dodson and Casa watched them and as they watched they called their supervisor to ask if they should move in,to seize the guns and arrest the traffickers. They were told no, and continued to be told no, do not act, for more then a year. According to Dodson and Casa they let guns walk over and over. So why are these people who, let two thousand guns be smuggled over the Mexican border, be telling us that we need more gun laws. (Horwitz, p.7) These guns have already been involved in a number of murders and had numerous amount of times they could have stopped them and taken down the gun traffickers.
