Gun+Control

The following was originally published March 4, 2010 at http://awillis182.wordpress.com/2010/03/04/gun-control-editorial-on-is-the-second-amendment-being-misused/ The second amendment is the right to bear arms. But some people are confusing the right to have guns and the right to be free of gun violence. This gun debate has been going on for years. As the article “The second Amendment Is Misused by opponents of gun control” say’s that there are two sides to each side, and that both sides are right in a way. “ In the right to be free of gun violence say’s “ ironically, the second amendment the right to bear arms does not prohibit robust gun regulation, it compels it” More and more states are seeing the problem with gun violence and are creating gun control laws, due to all the problems with passion of hand guns. Though when people try to start a gun control laws gun owners state and reinter put the second amendment which is the right to bear arms and say that they have the right to have gun’s in self defense. “The right to be free from the threat of gun violence deserves as much respect as the right to bear arms” I believe this is very true. Any person who believes they have the right to own or have a gun also has to respect the people who have the right to be free of gun violence. They both deserve the same about of respect and importance. As well as people are allowed to have the right to be free of gun violence also gives people the right to own guns and use them for either hunting or self defense. In order to buy a gun you must have gun license, you need a license to have a gun. Just because someone owns a gun does not mean they are going to use it for violence of other people. I believe we put people in that category just because they own a gun. Which is not fair to them as a person you have a right to own and have a gun but with that right you are trusted to not use it as a violent act. The question and opinion of is the second amendment being misused by the opponents of being able to have a gun for self defense or if we should still have more gun control laws is still a question that has been debated about for years and years and is still left unanswered. “Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center Logout.” //GaleNet//.
