Gun control is an important topic to me because I am a gun owner, but at the same time believe something needs to be done to stop the unending barrage of tragedies caused by irresponsible gun use. This problem is not only a result of guns being in the hands of the wrong people, but is also caused by a general lack of knowledge about safe firearm use from law-abiding civilians. The question I have concerning this issue is:
Is there a way to stop gun violence without taking guns away from citizens?
This question is vital because democrats think that the only way to stop these acts of terror is to go against the 2nd Amendment and remove “assault weapons” from the general public. Republicans, however, think that this would only create gun free zones which would attract would-be killers because of a lack of resistance. Either way, this is a very controversial, and interesting topic that is dividing our country today.
