Arguments Against Gun Control Laws

On the contrary, opponents of gun-control laws claim that it is useless to prevent violence by regulating guns. In fact, law-abiding citizens are already permitted to carry concealed weapons in forty states with gun crimes rate remaining the same (Wright). In my opinion, with guns thousands of citizens could save their lives. Just like Jessica, they gain courage because guns are available to them when emergencies occur.

Also, in many campus shootings, professors and students could not defend themselves because those campuses were regulated to be gun-free areas. Though gun-free areas are designed to be safe zones, these shooting sprees show that they are not always safe. In fact, only criminals take advantage of such rules (Burnett). I agree with the idea that professors and students should be permitted to carry guns on campus to protect themselves.
District Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. also disagrees with gun-control laws. He argues that there should not be any requirement forcing gun owners to demonstrate a "good reason" to receive a carry permit. He thinks such a restrictive licensing scheme deprives citizens of their rights given by the Second Amendment. "For all intents and purposes, this requirement makes it impossible for the overwhelming majority of law-abiding citizens to obtain licenses to carry handguns in public for self-defense. Thus it deprives them of their Second Amendment right to bear arms" Scullin wrote (Noble).
