overall nothing has changed, the number of deaths in america each year is an average of 400,000 people from gun violence. Clearly nothing is being done, and if it is it isn’t enough, whatever their plan was to stop the gun violence it didn’t work and it’s not going to work. Whoever is in charge of gun control needs to be terminated, maybe Trump might be a new answer to this issue. Gun control is the set of laws or politics that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or

Craigslist, Walmart and Dicks sporting goods, are just a few places where a variety of guns are sold to countless people, not knowing what they are going to do with them.

It seems like within minutes of any tragedy, politicians, the media, and the internet are racing to find someone or something to blame.

We as Americans need to ensure the proper research is conducted in order to properly identify the root cause of any issue, especially those that result in severe injury, or death.

A Rebuttal to 40 Reasons to Ban Guns Josephine Martell University of Phoenix December 23, 2013 Introduction A Rebuttal to 40 Reasons to Ban Guns 40 Reasons to Ban guns were arguments made by liberal lawmakers.

Gun Control Imagine a world where there were no laws controlling who could and couldn’t buy guns. Imagine that a felon who had committed armed robbery could walk into any store and buy a gun along with the ammunition that is needed for that gun.
