The Naked Gun

The effects of gun control I feel could be very dangerous. Taking away the right to bear arms could endanger defenseless families when an armed criminal breaks into their house. Taking firearms off of the legal market doesn’t mean that they still won’t be bought and sold illegally. An example of something that is illegal but widely bought and sold would be drugs. They are highly illegal but the demand for them is through the roof. So then, when the common law abiding citizen cannot buy a firearm…

*TRIGGER WARNING* [pun not intended] Cops and Guns: "In Norway, Iceland, New Zealand, Britain, and Ireland, police officers generally do not carry firearms. In one of these countries, Iceland, it’s legal for citizens to carry guns—and roughly a third choose to do so." Why do cops need guns? You can 't tell me it 's because we have guns because Iceland manages themselves fine. Also, why is training so short, in Norway it takes 3 whole years to become a cop, some places in America are starting…

banned guns? Would the crime rate increase? Would we start losing other rights that are in the constitution? Would our country begin to be run by criminals and foolish people? I don’t want to find out and I don’t want to live in a world where those happen. I believe that if we ban guns, it would lead to worse things down the road; people would be frightened if they understood what they would be losing and those people won’t realize until they are in a situation where they need a gun. Guns are…

Stephen E. Wright, an author and blogger, feels anti-gun groups fight to restrict a constitutional right.

Guns are used all around the world, but here in the United States, we need to keep our gun usage limited with gun laws. Gun laws are put into action to make sure firearms are used responsibly; however, people will always find a way to break these laws no matter how many are made. Our Second Amendment, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”, gives U.S. citizens the right to own a weapon…
