Gun Control Around the world, many countries allow citizens to have guns to protect themselves, but it also increases the murder rate. In Switzerland people may have guns at home to protect themselves, but they also use them to kill themselves. In Brazil, there is a lot of armed violence. People can see the policeman running with the robbers. In India, people think that owning a gun means being a legal citizen. In the United States, people can own guns because the Constitution gives people permission. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states that people may have guns to protect themselves and their wealth. This is a legal right for every American citizen. When a man reaches the age of 21 and has no criminal record, then he can buy guns. In Massachusetts, people can have military weapons and civilian weapons. In Texas, people can have military weapons but can't carry them on the street. Different states have different gun control laws. Gun Control is based on the number of people killed by firearms each year. Every year in the United States there are more than 2 million violent incidents and more than 20,000 murders. Gun control is a hot topic that has been debated in government for a long time. There are many people who support gun control because it can calm the murder rate and make the country stable. On the other hand, there are also many people who disagree because the permission to bear arms is in the Constitution. They also think that gun control is not a good way to stop murders. Weapons are very cheap in the United States, the AK-47 costs 700 hundred dollars. With 8 dollars you can buy 20 pistol bullets. Guns are cheap and everyone can have one. The first school shooting incident occurred in Chicago, in 1966. He was a man, he hates the world and kills many kids at school then he......middle of paper......and they have no power to rest the shooter. If a man lives alone without weapons and he is the easy target in the eyes of the shooter. Gun control cannot help people protect themselves. Not supporting gun control can also make society more stable because no one can do anything violent because everyone has guns and can fight. Gun control is a good way to reduce murders and incidents of violence. Gun control can also prevent school shootings. If people get into trouble, they can call the police for help. People don't have to worry about government because they decide who will be president. I support gun control because it can stabilize society and make the environment safe. Guns are used to kill and cannot provide protection as we expect. I think people should give up guns and make the world peaceful and live in a safe environment.
