Gun Control Behavior

Guns Are the Savior for the American People Gun control is a controversial topic amongst the people of the United States of America. Some believe that increasing gun control laws will save lives throughout the country, while others believe that guns are necessary in order to save human lives. Although it is known that guns can be dangerous, the United States should not restrict the use of guns because armed citizens can help stop violent crimes when the police are nowhere to be found, everyone has the right to protect themselves, and making gun laws stricter will not keep the population safe from a mass murder.

Even if the United States tightens gun laws, mass murders will still take place because it is what is in the murderer’s heart that makes them deadly and they do not obtain their weapons legally most of the
