Gun-Control

Conservatives believe that the Second Amendment gives the individual the right to keep and bear arms and that the guns are not the problem, but people are. They believe that a person has a right to defend themselves against criminals and that because there is less crime due to guns.
Liberals believe that the Second Amendment gives no individual the right to own a gun, but does allow the state to keep a National Guard. They believe that guns kill people and children and that no good comes out of owning a gun.
I personally believe that people should have something to protect themselve-however, I do not think that a gun is the right answer. I think that guns are found by small children and things can go terribly wrong. You hear about all these stories in the media today about how a young child as little as five found their relatives gun, brought it to school, and kills inocent children. What good comes out of that? It is a scary thing and I do not think that guns should be allowed. Guns kill people, innocent people for that matter. Conservatives say that guns aren't the problem, people are, but people wouldn't be the problem if they didn't have guns.
