Gun Policies and Debates
Gun control is a constantly debated topic and has been for some time. Some people argue that guns should never be privately owned because it increases our nations crime rates, other argue stricter laws should be instated to ensure a decline in the crime rate, and some feel as though it is their right to own and carry a gun at all times. There are 2 significant US federal gun control policies. The National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968. Although gun related fatalities are continually decreasing, many still feel as though there should be stricter firearm regulations.

I believe the gun policies are fine, but if any change it would be to make them stricter. The right to bear arms is in our amendments and I believe is the notion we should go by. Sure guns are one of the leading causes of death, but not the most. Furthermore, guns don't kill people; people kill people.
