Having stricter gun laws would also help reduce the number of homicides. “Advocates say that tougher gun laws in other countries keep death rates down there. Australia, for example, had 13 mass shootings between 1979 and 1996. But after a gunman killed 35 people in 1996, the country passed strict laws banning many weapons. Its hasn’t had a mass shooting since.” explained Richard Pérez-Peña. In

Rather than making gun ownership harder for law abiding U.S. citizens, we should be more aggressively enforcing the gun-related laws currently in place, while looking for ways to make legal gun ownership less complicated and burdensome. This will help protect the constitutional freedoms of future generations while making us safer now.

Texas is the only state that was once its own country and this history was undoubtedly influenced the political culture of the state which has remained cautious of government oversight and remained deeply rooted in the conservatism of years past, but Texas is not a homogenous state – in modern day Texas diverse metropolitan centers and small rural communities coexist. These areas have vastly different perspectives regarding gun laws and as may be expected ownership and gun culture is highest in rural areas – with forty-six percent of rural dwellers owning guns compared to thirty percent nationwide. However, measuring the true number of gun owners in Texas and other states is difficult due to the lack of a national or Texas registry of gun owners, but we do have some more general information regarding gun ownership - thirty-six percent of Americans in the South reported personally owning a gun among those surveyed.

Gun control issues have been a problem in America for some time now. Of course there has been different reasoning from Saint Valentines day massacre in 1929, to the National Firearm Act of 1934. Both problems were a result of gang violence, which was the root of our nations gun control issue today. Today there is more going on than just gang violence sparking a new era of concern for Americans. Extreme measures are being taken by Americans in public establishments, shooting innocent people for whatever reason. A fairly recent shooting occurred starting outside a gay community ending in a club in Orlando, Florida with the shooter by the name of Omar Mateen. 49 people were killed that night. This act of violence goes to show that more strict regulations need to be set into place so that irate things like this can be prevented for the most part. It also needs to be understood that even with more strict regulations, allowing people that are qualified, anything can happen still. Although there are Gun Control laws set in place, there are always going to be differing opinions that have supporting evidence as to why but it is still good to have regulations in place.
