Gun rights is something that I am very adamant about. Our second amendment clearly states that we as United States Citizens have the right to purchase firearms. As well as now many states are allowing open carry.

States have gun control or gun rights? This is a question many people ask and argue over. As a citizen of this country, I would like to examine both sides of the argument and then pick my view on the topic. As of right now, the United States have more gun rights than gun control. However, there have been laws made to regulate the sale and possession of guns. Many anti-gun activists argue that the NRA (National Rifle Association) is the cause of many of the horrific events involving guns. On the other
For many years, the topics such as gun violence, gun control, and the right to bear arms have been a very familiar topic with many different opinions among citizens of the United States of America.

Bearing Arms as a National Right Many Americans want to restrict the right to bear arms and purchase guns after recent events of gun violence and incidents of dangerous individuals misusing guns for the wrong purposes.

All across the Nation some citizens think that gun control rights should be taken from US citizens. These issue has been a National Debate for many years now. The side goes back in forth with citizens being able to have guns or not.
