Introduction
The united states of America have experienced gun procession since time immemorial.
For instance, as we speak the number of people owning guns stands at about three hundred
million people for that matter. Further, we could break down the measurement to point to about
120 guns per 100 people ownership within the country for that matter. Notably, gun ownership
stemmed from as early as 1791 through the enactment of the second amendment. Most
arguments roots from the quote, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary for the security of a
free state, the right of people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Other factors that
may link the American nation to gun issues point to the colonial history, revolutionary roots and
even frontier expansion for that matter. It is essential to understand the different viewpoints as
propagated by various players in the gun control industry. The proponents argued that gun
control is necessary since the second amendment only provided guns for militias and also that
gun violence would be reduced plus many Americans support such restrictions. On the other
hand, opponents have come up with arguments stating that gun control was intended for
individuals and that it creates a self-defense mechanism and also deters rather than cause crime
for that matter. As a result, the following analysis seeks to point out the pros of gun control and

then provide incidences of gun violence plus give a little argument against gun control plus the
Democrats and the Republicans points of views regarding the subject.

Primarily, there are several reasons and arguments for gun control. It is essential to, first
of all, understand the gun control laws itself. As stated earlier, the original plan of gun control
mechanisms was the fear of the revolutionary attempts existing at the start of the federal
governments. State governments were not very sure of one another's action upon implementing
gun use (Wallace 100). So, they had to put up gun control measures to ensure that the privilege
of owning guns may not get abused. It is for the same reason that there are several arguments in
favor of gun control and the paper would go ahead and discuss them at any particular juncture.
Thus, some of the reasons behind the same looks at the fact that guns are leading causes of
homicides and suicides not only in the U.S but also other nations, legally owned guns get stolen
and used by criminals among other pros discussed herein.
The second amendment is not a ticket to own guns without controls
There are pointers towards gun control laws and their action ranging from as early as the
16th century. During this period, despite the push for the second amendment, gun control ensured
that their use never got unlimited through the enactment of several laws and decisions for that
matter. for instance, some actions were put to reduce the number of guns held or control their use
at the time. Slaves were not allowed to carry guns; gunpowder could never get stored in homes,
transfer of firearms to Catholics, indentured servants, and even Native Americans were held
criminally liable for owning weapons, among another set of laws (Weinberger 513.) Then came
the gun control mechanism and regulations in 2008. The cases of gun violence had gone berserk

thus necessitating reaffirming of the fact that the second amendment was not there to
rubberstamp the unlimited right to own guns. The court at the time clarified that holding arms in
public places such as schools, hospitals, and churches were an offense. Additionally, the court
highly regulated the position of the guns and consolation of the same at any particular juncture.
All these facts received affirmation in 2016 when the supreme court hel...
