Gun Control Debate
Gun Control: Against the Implementation of Gun Control Laws
Gun control is a hot topic that is raging in our country right now. There are many good
arguments out there for gun control laws, but today I am going to be talking about why strict
gun control laws shouldn’t be passed.
First, if we pass stricter gun control laws, it infringes on our second amendment right.
The second amendment states that we are allowed to bear arms. Another problem stricter gun
control laws could cause is the ability to defend ourselves against attackers. If we regulate guns
so strictly that it becomes difficult for even law-abiding citizens to obtain one, it greatly reduces
our chances to successfully defend ourselves against attackers. Another reason why stricter gun
control laws wouldn’t help is that if criminals want guns, they are going to find a way around
the laws. Criminals will always find ways around the law if they want something bad enough.
Stricter gun control laws also wouldn’t curb the problem of illegal gun smuggling. In fact, if you
think about it, it would actually increase the gun smuggling problem because that would be the
easiest way to get a gun, rather than go through all of the hoops that stricter gun control laws
would impose upon you. All in all, stricter gun control laws are a bad idea.
In conclusion, stricter gun control laws are not a very good idea. Too strict gun laws
would hinder our ability to defend against attackers. Also, criminals would find a way around
the laws and it would actually increase the problem of illegal weapon smuggling. The gun
control laws we have now are good enough, and as the old saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t
fix it.”
