the articles are helpful while others do not help my cause. Ethan McLeod’s article was the best one to help my thesis. He proves many of times that either the guns are stolen or the criminals go through the back ground checks to get through. Gun control laws and background checks are not an efficient deterrent to crime. The article “Will Recent Shootings Influence Gun Legislation”, by the Ethan McLeod writes about shootings in four cities. Chattanooga Tenn. Charleston, S.C., Chapel Hill, N.C.…

people died, overall more lives would be saved. I believe medical background checks should be enforced because these background checks will give the government and any businesses selling guns more information about the customer, such as, mental stability.

Buying a gun takes no time and only requires a background check in most states. In most states, “55% of U.S. households with children have firearms in them that are in unlocked places” (Statistics on Youth Gun Violence & Gun Access).
