In 2016 alone there were over 15‚000 gun related deaths in the United States. Over half these deaths were violent deaths (murder‚ mass shootings‚ etc.) If this doesn’t prove that America has a gun problem‚ I don’t know what will. The debate over gun control versus gun rights has been raging for years.

A ban on guns will be expensive‚ hard and will generate a black market for guns. We do not need another black market for firearms. Usually when something is banned‚ criminals start to capitalise on the demand and try make gangs to ship guns everywhere and it is these times when the mortality rate is higher (the drug wars). We may need to try other ways to dissuade criminals such as improvements in the health system. Police cannot protect citizens‚ and even if they could‚ they do not have an obligation

right to regulate freedom. To start‚ the reason schools have this right is to keep its students safe. Schools prohibit weapons like knives‚ guns‚ and other objects to make sure no one gets hurt or even killed.

Bear Arms I believe that guns should not be banned in the US. “Guns don’t kill people‚ people kill people.” I am sure most of us have heard this saying at some point in our lives.

everything we work on and in at some point comes from human labor. The irony is that everywhere we turn‚ we are confronted with the work of our own hands and brains‚ and yet these products of our labor appear as things outside of us‚ and outside of our control. Work and the products of work dominate us‚ rather than the other way around. Rather than being a place to fulfill our potential‚ the workplace is merely a place we are compelled to go in order to obtain money to buy the things we need. "Hence‚" Marx
