Argumentative Essay: Pro Gun Vs. Anti Gun

Pro Gun vs. Anti Gun

There are two sides to this argument people who use guns and like them and people who don't like guns and have only heard or seen people use them for bad things like robbing,killing,or just trying to threaten somebody.Guns aren't used for just bad things that's the irresponsible gun owners I use the words gun owners very loosely because according to The Washington Times most of those guns are stolen mainly out of vehicles or bought illegally from some dealer in a back alley because when you buy a pistol legally most dealers make you go through a very extensive process before the gun is actually considered yours there is a lot of paperwork you need to get done and when the gun is put together before distributing to the

stores the distributor fires two bullets from it and they collect both one is put in the case with the gun so you know what bullets shot from that gun look like and one is given to the law enforcement so they can compare it in the future through ballistics if a murder has occurred with that type of gun so if someone buys from a legal distributor it's not a loose transaction they know who bought it and they know from whom they bought it.There are senators and other big people trying to ban all types of guns saying they are used for nothing but evil and the world would be a better place without them and throw out very wildly generated stats for how many americans are killed because of guns and they try to trick people by throwing out a law they want to make and depending on the people not to read the whole thing they have written for it and at the end of the paragraph it adds something else about banning certain types of guns like a policy to make open carry illegal in a certain state and then at the end of it they put something like this policy will also ban double stacked magazines for pistols and all other firearms if it were straight forward some things proposed aren't that bad of rules and in the end they are politicians so most things they create have some kind of turn to them that affects more than what it should have affected.

There are laws that people are trying to get passed that would make it illegal for people to carry guns in public rather it be concealed carry or open carry that might help in some cases with shootings on the streets and stuff but what that would do is it would hurt the majority which is law abiding citizens who want to obey the laws and be protected by the police and any other form of protection who want to know if they needed to they could protect themselves,there family or anybody else around them if they have to if guns are made illegal they can't do that and if guns are illegal the people breaking the law already aren't going to care if carrying a gun is illegal they are already robbing,murdering or whatever else they were going to do making guns illegal is just another law they would break and if guns were taken away completely from people laws would still be broken people would still be killed and robbed the attackers would just find other weapons like bats,knives,clubs,explosives,or just fists the U.S. murder rate with guns from 2010-2014 was 8124 and death by other methods like knives,drowning,strangulation and even explosives was 3837 so even if guns are outlawed there's still many other methods people could use that could be way worse of a way to die i'm not saying getting shot anywhere is a good way to die but i'd rather be shot then stabbed or blown up or clubbed I think it would hurt a lot less.The second amendment states that The right of

the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed which means our guns can't be taken away by anyone so all of the people trying to make laws that take guns away are going against the constitution I don't care if laws are passed to make it safer or laws that are made to protect citizens but making laws to completely take away guns isn't needed these laws are supposed to be made to protect every day citizens but what about the everyday citizens that believe responsible citizens who carry guns are what keeps them safe Georgia has passed a new gun bill that has upsides for citizens who own guns legally but it also has a downside for the state's police and government the good side is it is know legal for legal gun owners to carry a gun in a bar,a church,airports and government buildings as long as it isn't a secure government building like atlanta city hall or the georgia state capitol but if the bar owner or church clearly say or have it posted it can still be illegal if you have a gun in there building and the airport won't let you go past TSA with a gun but up to TSA you can have a gun and TSA will take the gun and you can go to a certain place and get it back when you come back through and the down side to the law is georgia has no database of gun owners know and the stopped making gun owners give fingerprints when renewing a weapon carry permit which means any body can renew it as long as they have the right requirements and there's no way of knowing if that is the true owner of the permit.

There has to be boundaries for guns it can't just be a rule less state of things where you can do anything you want with them whenever you want because then if something like a fight were to happen and someone were shot the shooter could have claimed that the area wasn't posted no guns allowed and he was defending himself so then he would probably get off with no charges and would be able to do it again if it were a lawless subject their would probably be a lot more firearm incidents occurring in the world either.Just a few days ago their was a school shooting in San Bernardino California where a deranged man shot and killed his wife who was a teacher in the elementary school and the bullet went through and hit a boy behind her and then proceeded to kill himself and the boy who was critically wounded later died that is a grade A story that makes people feel guns are evil and should be banned and that is a horrible incident because that was the second school shooting in 18 months which is why I think schools should have metal detectors like airports do and if unless someone enters the school from a certain entrance and exit strictly for students then they have to go through the detectors and that is also a good reason why if guns are banned that's not going to stop someone from killing another human being because murder is illegal mass murder is illegal and bringing a firearm into any school area is also illegal but it is still done so just one more little

hurdle for them to go around by buying an illegal gun or stealing a gun from somewhere so they can kill.So in conclusion gun control isn't necessarily a horrible thing there has to be a little bit of control to stop the idiots but total gun control won't solve all the problems.
