The second Amendment allows Americans the ability to "bear arms". This phrase doesn't mean that they should have a military or police grade arsenal in their possession. Available weapons and cheap ammo get into the wrong hands. Lax gun control issues allow criminals to have firepower that is nearly identical to the weapons that soldiers and officers use. School shooters have the ability to take more victims. Black market sales fuel criminal empires that span across the borders. Gun control in America today needs to be reconsidered and enforced.
When a criminal has a stand-off with police forces and is armed with a knife or a baseball bat, they are often times, more than capable of apprehending the individual with no loss of life. There is a much different process involved though, when someone is armed to the teeth and out of their mind. With the weapons that are already available, stand-offs become lethal much more often than in places where gun ownership is illegal or highly restricted.
If gun control is enacted in the United States, it will be the first step toward allowing the government the ability to control the people, rather than the people controlling the government. Overturning the Constitution is something that should be avoided at all costs. Allowing the power of the government to outshine that of the citizen is a process that takes time and effort. It takes many steps and small defeats to the people.
Having access not only to weapons and ammo, but also to accessories that add firepower to weapons makes it easier for mass murderers to claim victims. If a shooter has a magazine that adds 30 rounds to the gun's capacity, it means that they have 30 shots that they otherwise wouldn't have had. Things like extended magazines allow for rampages that would be more difficult if access was more difficult.
Anti-gun control advocates point to the banality of outlawing firearms, but they neglect to look at the statistics from places with strictly enforced gun control. Those numbers point toward a society with less violent crimes and less murders. When you control the availability, you control the access a little better.
Banning guns in America is an impossible task. The flood of weapons in America is overflowing from the states and into Mexico. This is a place where American weapons wind up in the hands of narco cartels and human trafficking operations.
Gun control in America needs to be reconsidered. That phrase is often looked at as if it is a "dirty" thing to say, as if it is unconstitutional and beyond consideration. The fact is that the constitution allows for change if it is enacted by the people. An overhaul of the gun control laws would be good for the American people and the people who are affected by the surplus of weapons.
The right to bear arms is guaranteed to the people of the U. S. The meaning of that phrase is muddled by people who insist on owning weapons that would never see use as they were intended but the sad fact is that things find their ways into the wrong hands. Available weapons combined with a lack of education allow for the misuse of firearms with alarming regularity.
