Sometimes even normal-seeming registered gun owners appear to go mad and kill, as tragically happened at Hungerford and Dunblaine in the U.K. Quite simply, guns are lethal and the fewer people have them the better. Law-abiding citizens deserve the right to protect their families in their own homes, especially if the police are judged incapable of dealing with the threat of attack. Would-be rapists and armed burglars will think twice before attempting to break into any house where the owners may keep firearms for self-defense.

Gun control is a vital part of the future of the United States. The Second Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment are the ones that give states the right to make their own gun laws. Self-defense is a vital part of gun control, as people may be able to prevent a crime from being committed, because they would have a weapon or a gun for protection. Numerous individuals across the United States disagree with the current usage of guns; it is necessary to look at this controversial issue because of the recent violence involving guns across the United States.
The reduction of the crime rates following the reduction of gun-related violence can be used to justify gun control. However, the official statistics does not support this assumption. The reasoning that guns cause crimes arises numerous disputations, as it does not consider that guns are just another mean of committing a crime. Pro-gun advocates usually assert, “Guns do not kill people; people kill people.” The Vice President, Wayne Lapierre argued that the best solution to the Newton Massacre was to allow citizens to own guns.
