Concerns have been raised by gun advocates (most vocally by groups like the NRA) on the safety of citizens without the ability to freely purchase handguns to protect their family from crime. On the other hand, gun control advocates propose that these same citizens would be far safer and in fact have more liberty in a nation where guns were more difficult to obtain. When the bases for these positions are analyzed, it seems that it is in the best interest of our country to ban private handgun ownership One of the arguments that gun supporters makes to justify the ownership of handguns is that they have the “right” to own firearms. The first line of defense for this theory is the 2nd amendment of the Constitution which gives citizens the right to bear arms.
