Argumentative Essay Against Gun Control

ege. Gun control laws prevents citizens of the U.S. to live their lives completely. Gun control should not be legalized in the United States, because everyone shouldn’t be blamed for some people’s choices/mistakes. According to Paul Gosar/The Second Amendment is a fundamental right/1-17-13 he said, “Some of us recognize a simple reality — there are bad people who do bad things. No amount of laws, will change that. Indeed, murder and assault are crimes, but these events still occur.
