Gun Safety: The Right To Bear Arms

Gun Safety has been a big topic that people are speaking of all the time. The Second Amendment says that citizens have the right to bear arms. That amendment was created for militias as America had become free and they didn’t want any surprise attacks from Britain incase they tried to take America back, now America and Britain are close allies. Everyday on the news there’s always a shooting and maybe it’s because guns are easy to access. I do not think that civilians need guns. Now some might argue that the police are corrupt and that they don’t want to rely on the police to do something that they can handle but that is their job. If guns are banned than their needs to be higher protection against smuggling as criminals will obviously not
follow the law of banned guns and will continue to smuggle them into the country. Hunters should be allowed to own a gun but must have a license and an up to date permit and if their is an accident with the gun it shall be removed immediately from them. Stores such as Walmart should not be allowed to sell guns as anyone can steal them off the shelves. Guns were originally tools mainly used in hunting, now they are instruments of war and signs of power. Police, hunters, and the military should be allowed to have guns not citizens that feel they need it.
