The Role Of Gun Control In America
Gun control in America has been one of the most talked about topics among the people since 2014. Many people support guns and they say there is no reason for more gun laws. Others say that we need more gun laws and that guns are the one killing people not the actual shooters. I support the side that says we don’t need more gun restrictions, it’s the people purchasing the guns that need to be controlled.

Even though it will be harder to use guns, it doesn’t mean that people won’t find other ways to commit suicide. I feel like that having more gun control isn’t going to affect suicide rates drastically.
I feel very strongly against more gun control. I feel like there’s already enough gun control and in my opinion, it’s not the guns fault it’s the person that is using the gun. If it’s the person that using the gun then, why should the people who use guns properly be ‘punished’? Owning guns is our 2nd Amendment and every American has a right to own a gun.
