There has been armed civilians in shootings, but they do not tend to get involved in this kind of situations because the police won't know that the person is trying to help and by taking out a weapon you would just become a target.

In 2011 a gun was used in 323 murders, that same year a hammer was used in 496 murders (Hawkins). Clearly a household item is just as dangerous as a gun, especially when it’s in the hands of someone who desires to do wrong. Most people don’t understand that you don’t blame the tool that is used, you blame the…

I will bring up the pros and cons of having and not having guns. What America would be like if we did…

Even if there are more laws and regulations with guns there will always be a way for them to get into the wrong hands. Criminals will always find a way to get guns and to use them as a weapon. In the journal article Self-Defense and Gun Regulation for All; a majority of shooting cases were in acts of self-defense. I believe as U.S. citizens we should have the right to defend ourselves. I also believe that this should be the only reason…
