Gun control is one of the hot topics in today’s political standings. The liberal point of view hates guns‚ while most conservatives like them.

One of the most highly discussed issues in this country for the last few years and especially the last year has been gun control.

Banning guns is an issue today that is very difficult to talk about‚ especially when it concerns mass shooting or anything alike. I side with the second opposing argument.
