I have not really touched on why some individuals do not believe that stricter gun laws are the answer to the gun control problem in America. One of the key arguments for harsher gun control laws is the issue of mass shootings; some type of mass shooting occurs almost everyday in The United States and this needs to end. However, gun activists claim that states where harsher gun controls laws are already in effect have not seen any change in the number of mass shootings that occur per year. Another key argument of gun activists aligns with the 2nd Amendment as stated in the U.S. Constitution under the Bill of Rights. The 2nd Amendment states, in reference to citizens owning guns, “…the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Some people believe that the foundation of America was built on this constitution and that we should not be allowed to change it as time goes on. What do you believe? Do you believe that we should not alter constitutional statements as modern day changes? OR, do you believe that the U.S. Constitution is still alive and able to change?
