A very popular topic that has risen within the past couple
years is that of gun control. With a rise in numerous school shootings, and
other gun violence people have started making their voices heard. There are two
sides of this argument just like any other issue. There are the extremes of
where people want gun rights completely revoked and no access to them unless in
military use. Then there is the other side where people clearly defend their second
amendment right that of which to bear arms. I can understand the people who
want to limit gun access due to all the innocent lives being lost in shootings.
But the argument I have towards that is that the guns do not make the shooters
killers, the shooters make the guns kill. Instead of getting rid of guns there
should be more safety behind the purchasing of a firearm. Owners of these
firearms should only be able to purchase one after extreme background tests and
mental stability tests. If able to purchase firearms they should then be
evaluated on where they plan to keep them in their household so they remain out
of reach of children and limit disaster from happening. I do clearly think the
regulations need to be more strict, but taking away guns as a whole is a clear
violation of the second amendment and is wrong.
