We Need Stricter Gun Control Laws

Do not attack the weapon, instead, attack on the person who used the weapon. A weapons purpose is to defend oneself. It is the decision of the behind the gun whether they use it for protection or for harm.Citizens should not be banned from guns because it takes away their right to the second amendment. The gun is not the thing hurting people, it’s all about the intention behind the gun.
Many citizens have questions about guns and how they are beneficial to our society or what would happen if the ban was put in place. There are plenty of examples the guns are beneficial to the safety of our family and the general public and what would happen if the ban was set.. “When uniform police are there, the killers wait for the police to leave the area
or they are the first people killed” (“Gun Bans Disarm Law-Abiding Citizens, Not Criminals”). The criminals trying to harm other people are scared of the other people with guns. This is how attacks are prevented, criminals do not not want to get into a risky situations if they know it may cause their life. “It takes guns out of the hands of citizens in the face of rising criminal rage in this country” (Buckley1). The citizens would not have any guns to protect themselves and the enemy would have them. This is said because criminals will always have a way to get weapons. For the law-abiding citizens, guns are removed and freedom is restricted. “Blame the fool not the tool” (Tyler1). A thing to know about guns is that if it gets into the wrong hands bad things can happen. If everyone does not have the freedom to carry a gun then the person who is shooting can fire without worry. Keeping the guns will stop sick people like that from striking.
Citizens rights is the biggest reason we like being Americans.
We have freedom and rights that no one can mess with, unless the government bans guns. “The second Amendment to the constitution is limited to protecting the state militia’ right to bear arms” (Buckley1). If we ban our citizens guns then we are violating their right to the second amendment. We will being restricting a form of freedom for them. “The basic right of the american citizen is to bear arms, whether to kill game, or to wound and kill human beings bent on murder or rape” (Buckley1). The right to bear arms is important because of this reason. We can hunt and we can protect our people, without that right the criminals would have the advantage not, not the citizens. “Our founding fathers saw guns to be such an important line of defense…” (Chadduck1). This is why the Second Amendment was made. It is the right of an american citizen to keep a gun for safety reasons. Gun were made to harm the enemies targeting us, so do not take that away from the
people.
Guns protect, plain and simple.
That has been their main purpose ever since they were created. “Banning guns will not stop criminals from obtaining them” (Chadduck1). If we get our guns taken away then the criminals will get the upper hand. Criminals will always have a way of obtaining them no matter what the law says. The law is are just rules that the citizens choose to follow, if you do not, then consequences strike. “A criminal is less likely to target someone who is packing” (Chadduck1). The person carrying a gun has a less likely chance of being attacked by a criminal. There is proof right there that guns protect and prevent attacks. No matter what people think, it protects and everyone knows it. “YOu cannot always count on a cops of being there” (Chadduck1). The banning of guns means someone else has to protect us. Cops are not the fastest people in the world, they are unreliable in the moment of an attack unless they are
there. School shootings are a big problem in today’s society and people target the guns as the culprit. The gun is not the problem, the person and the intention behind the gun is what matters. “Many more schools… let professors carry concealed handguns” (“Gun Bans Disarm Law-Abiding Citizens, Not Criminals”). Having professors carry is a very smart idea for the general well-being of the students. If the students are in danger in the classroom, then they have immediate protection from the threat itself. “Would you feel safer putting a sign out front announcing “This home is a gun free zone”” (“Gun Bans Disarm Law-Abiding Citizens, Not Criminals”). Obviously no one would feel safe if that was outside their front door to their own home. Putting that sign outside is basically inviting criminals right into your house. If the criminal comes in with a gun then you do not have a gun as well to counter him. “Even when attacks occur, having civilians with a permit for concealed handguns limits the damage” (“Gun Bans Disarm Law-Abiding Citizens, Not Criminals”). Concealed weapons are the scariest idea for criminals. If the criminal knows a school is packing heat and has firepower then the idea of attacking would not even cross their twisted mind.
Banning guns is the wrong thing to do because it takes away the right of the american citizens and give the criminals the upper hand. Criminals will always have guns no matter how hard the government tries to stop them. Stripping the right from an american citizen takes away the very thing this country was founded on, Freedom. It will give the citizens of america a chance to protect themselves from the wretched, sick minded, twisted people of this world. Eventually it will lead to the prevention of school shootings. People kill, not guns.
