Gun Control in The United States

Do you think the United States should have stricter gun control? I do, guns could be the most dangerous item on the market to those that are legal age to own one, and even for those who are not of age and can still obtain one. People argue that this violates the second amendment as well as a few others, but back when these amendments were made things were not as they are now. The laws we have currently on gun control, give more opportunities for gun related fatalities. In an article from “The Awesome Library” (a debate on Gun Control from the Brady Center), they say, “The Brady Center argues that when the civilian population has more access to guns, more teens and children die from gun wounds. For example, during a year when over 5,000 teens and children died from gun wounds in the USA, in Great Britain, where gun ownership is very restricted, 19 teens and children died from gun wounds.” The way our laws are with Gun Control are less of Great Britain and maybe should be more stricter so we could reduce this rate of child and teen fatalities.Also the more guns there are in the United States the more opportunity there is for children to obtain them and accidentally cause a disaster, whether it maybe to their self or others. The Amendments that were made long ago may have been the basics and our stepping stone to our human rights, But the fact that now times have change and people just are not the same as the were back when the amendment was created. Gun control in the United States should be more strict and harder to obtain a firearm, so the opportunities for fatalities are reduced. If we don’t have the guns, how can a gun related death occur? They might be protection to many, but when someone is shot there is no getting back up. If they were stabbed or even hit with a punch they have the ability to fight back and could be a less tragic outcome. If a person is beaten at least they can recover even though it could take time, but peoples lives are more precious then you can even imagine, once a person dies there’s no hospitals, there’s no ability to be seen again by family and friends.
