puts a malefactor off the streets and prevents them from hurting anyone else. Just as the criminal still has rights. so do the people and one of those rights is the right to bear arms. Gun control limits those rights which goes against the U.S Constitution
The Second Amendment states: "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." This broken down means in order for a country to remain free, it is necessary to have a well organized military or (militia). Because of this necessity, the right of the people to keep and bear arms should not be limited in any way. One of the reasons for this is that the framers of the Constitution had just spent two long years fighting against an oppressive government and wanted to prevent that same situation from occurring ever again. That is why it is our right to own firearms without interference from the government.
