The constitution states that Americans have the right to bear arms, but does this right make it okay to harm others?

Many Americans have guns because they feel they have the right to protect themselves and their loved ones. However, some end up shooting a family member or friend because they thought that person was an intruder.

Shootings would be reduced if the government controlled guns. Teenagers couldn’t shoot each other if they didn’t have family members or friends that owned a gun. Robberies would happen less because and the death toll would decrease.

Gun control would teach children that guns are dangerous. If parents use guns, then kids think using guns is okay. If their parents don’t have guns in the house, then children won’t see them and won’t learn how to use guns.

Americans would feel safer in their cities if guns were controlled. There would be less violence in every part of America, especially larger cities. New York City is an example. Rudy Giuliani used gun control when he was mayor, and the city became less violent and still is today.

Gun control is needed in America because with it, the death toll would decrease and everyone would be safer.
