Edward Valiente English 120 Professor Taylor 11/20/11 Gun Control The United States is the leader among nations in deaths caused by firearms. According to the Legal Community Against Violence (LCAV), the “gun epidemic” kills more than 30,000 and causes almost 70,000 injuries each year (para 7). Eventually, this leads to an uprising of gun control advocates, who seek to reduce crime and death rates by setting a variety of gun control legislation among the state and federal levels. Although, anti-gun control advocates believe that heavy restrictions on the access of firearms is unfair to American citizens, and a violation of the 2nd amendment in the U.S. constitution. However, evidence shows that a lower restriction on gun control ensures
Maybe not so coincidentally, Republicans are more likely to watch the scariest news channel of them all: Fox. Whites are twice as likely to own a gun as nonwhites -- and it may also not be a coincidence that gun purchases have suddenly spiked since November 2008.

That's because anti-gun laws don't affect criminals, who ignore the laws. Government studies prove it, finding that most criminals get guns through theft or the black market, where gun laws have no effect. Wayne Lapierre.

Gun Control refers to the control in ownership of firearms by citizens. The policy is meant to ensure that there are lesser guns in the population and thus reduce the probability of crimes related with guns. Several States have implemented this policy but the strictness of the policy varies from State to State. Its effectiveness in reducing crimes is, however, still in doubt as crimes continue to occur with fewer registered guns being implicated in crimes. According to Cook and Ludwig, the U.S has over 200 million firearms in private hands (Cook & Ludwig, 1996).

Gun control has also been implemented in some U.S. states and cities. While Chicago’s gun laws are not as strict as they once were, it still holds a very high gun violence rate due to an illegal market of gun selling(Lee). Although the killings decreased from 2016, they are still above the yearly records for the past decade(Park). Furthermore, enacting gun control laws does not prevent mass shooters from obtaining guns. There are hundreds of millions of guns in America.
