November 20, 2013 Gun Control Issues 1. Will outlawing guns make the United States any safer? Many may think banning guns will help dissolve crimes throughout the country, but is that actually true? Laws will inevitably be broken. If you ban guns from citizens who obey the law, most will obey it even though they don’t agree on it. Those who already don’t follow the law are going to find a way to get guns and use them in the wrong way either way.

I grew up learning how to properly handle firearms, and know that it takes a great amount of teaching to be safe with using a firearm. My family has used guns for many years for hunting, so gun control will directly affect me because in the future I will be unable use certain firearms.
3. Gun control laws don’t necessarily lower crimes involved with weapons, because it actually might affect the law abiding citizens more than the criminals. A criminal will do what it takes to break the law, and restricting ammo count on guns won’t stop them. It might just stop citizens from defending themselves from these criminals.
4. I think outlawing guns won’t reduce the crime in the country, simply because criminals will break the law no matter what. Blaming guns for the actions of law breaking criminals is as senseless as blaming the spoon for making a person fat. For instance, most guns are banned in Mexico , but crime is worse there than ever before. Criminals know they can get away with a crime on a vulnerable victim if they aren’t met with equal force.
5. The people for gun control believe getting rid of guns will save lives, reduce crime greatly, that Americans own too many guns, and that owning a gun won’t help you. Some politicians also think citizens would be
