When
you hear you hear the word “guns”, what tends to come to mind? Some may say
shootings and death while others may say protection and hunting. This seems to
be a problem in this country. It is certainly fine to own a gun in this
country, as it is a right given to every American citizen in the Constitution.
However, with the recent mass shootings occurring in the country by people who
did not deserve guns in the first place, more and more pressure is put on
Congress to have tighter gun laws and stronger punishments for those people who
unlawfully use or purchase a firearm. Some members of Congress, mainly republican,
argue that limiting access to guns would violate an American citizen’s 2nd
amendment right to bear arms. However, if these bill proposals were passed and
turned into laws, then countless innocent lives could be saved because only
responsible, law abiding citizens would have the ability to possess these
weapons.
