Should More Gun Control Laws Be Enacted? Common Sense or Gun Control? We live in a reactive society whereby we wait for things to go wrong then we form arguments based on the prevailing situation. American have been owning gun since time immemorial but it is not until something in the stature of the recent Las Vegas shootings, and Orlando shooting where arguments for gun control arise. America already have enough gun control laws and I opine that enactment of more laws to control gun usage among
States of America does not do enough to keep citizens safe from gun related violence. Some may argue that the second amendment gives the right to bear arms for self-defense but it can also be interpreted as an opportunity for others to become criminals. Many innocent students have died due to school related shootings that have occurred in the past. Guns are one of the leading causes of death in America. Statistics have proven that without guns it would be harder to kill someone and therefore the amount
the American people the right to bear arms, or own guns, in order to organize a militia to overthrow tyrannical government, if it were to be needed.

However, in present day, the 2nd Amendment became a controversial right due to the rise in mass shootings
There is a lot to say about gun control in America, people think that there shouldn’t be gun laws put in place and some people think they should have laws because sometimes firearms land in the wrong hands.

question that guns are the go to weapon used for majority attacks. As of February 2018, there has already been at least 5 shootings or more, causing multiple people to become injured.
