Gun_Control

Gun Control Though the issue of gun control has been a controversial, and often debated topic since the late 1800’s, recent events have made it painfully clear that the regulation of guns is necessary to keeping our society safe. The right to bear arms was given to the people in 1791, when the Second Amendment was written. The Second Amendment states, “A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” This amendment was written over 200 years ago, and unlike the rest of the constitution, it has not stood the test of time very well. When the constitution was written in the late 18th century lifestyles and worries were very different than they are now. People didn’t feel safe after the Revolution, and were constantly scared of being attacked by Native Americans, the English, and other nations. They also had to hunt for food, and protect themselves from wild animals and thieves when traveling through the wilderness. The part of the Amendment that is debated the most is, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms.” gun, control, people, guns, nra, laws, weapons, groups, militia, brady, been, amendment, though, say, one, goa, way, stricter, safe, national, likely, legislation, even, constitution, bill, ban, assault, society, security, sale, right, pull, protect, pass, keep
