When we think about
tragedies like Sandy Hook or the Aurora Theater massacre, we think about “all
of these happened because people were able to have guns.” They were able to
bring guns in and do whatever they want with them, including killing innocent
people. But is it the gun’s fault, or is it the people who decided to use the
gun’s for violence? Guns are weapons, but they are there for our safety.
In the two articles I
pick, they both argue against the purpose of gun control. An article by Tom
Gresham states that every gun control ban they have tried has failed, and that
there should be different ways to work with gun control, but not ban it. They
have tried many different ways to ban gun control on assault rifles and others,
but people have still gotten them and are still using them. That even without
the gun control or bans, that now with good people owning guns, violence and
murder has gone down.
Another article by
Susan Milligan explains that we need gun control because certain cases are all
caused by violence with gun control. She uses two examples where gun violence
had happened because the two criminals were able to take guns. She states that
we need to have certain bans, but not take guns completely
.
Gun control is a
serious matter in the US right now and I am really excited to get into this
topic. Both my parents and my brother have their concealed weapons permit and
carry guns for their safety and soon, once I turn twenty-one I will get my own.
We are a gun owning family, yet we are the nicest family you could ever meet
and only have them to take care of ourselves. Banning guns will now help us at
all, it will only harm us. This essay will be able to help my own argument and
what I think about it.
