    Gun control has made a serious feud, but to me and many others it is very important that we honor the fact that citizens need to defend themselves. We need to preserve our second amendment, and have the right to bear arms. The headlines we don’t notice, are the ones that justify how a gun has saved someone’s life. Did you know that there have been over 2.5 million cases where citizens have used their gun to defend themselves? And on top of that, did you know that only eight percent of those…

According to procon.org, “22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% men, 12% women).” I oppose gun control laws because of our individual right to protection, the false circulating gun facts, and other reasonable solutions that can be implemented for safety.
