GUN CONTROL DEBATE IN AMERICA Gun control has become a very hot topic of contention in America today. What seems to resonate here are two words: “guns” and “crime,” meaning are these words mutually exclusive? Does the use of guns ultimately lead to crime? On the other hand, have American laws restricting the use of firearms been effective enough to protect the lives of citizens? These are some of the questions that tug at the hearts of many when the music of the gun control debate is played. However, the gun control debate is not new. Firearms as we know them are very powerful and dangerous weapons. They are tools that can be used to inflict serious damage and can even lead to death. However, in this context of destruction, they can also be used to defend and protect people's lives and property. An important point to note here is the fact that firearms are very powerful tools that can be used for both good and evil. It is because of this fact about guns that the gun control debate continues and seems rather inevitable. From my highlights above on gun control, it seems obvious why I am motivated to write about gun control, especially the American context that has been plagued by gun abuse amidst all the gun control laws. Therefore, it is wise to be aware of the direction gun control laws are going. Considering the nature of this debate and the reality of weapons, which I have already highlighted previously, I am interested in the end point. Why is the gun control debate a hot and controversial issue in America today? To unravel this question it is important to examine some indicators of gun use in America. Today in America, at least more than half of American families... center of paper... crucial chain of events. Let's take fishing in the sand for example as an example that can demonstrate this cycle of events. Thus, all three have a stake in the debate because they prevent or aid the creation of gun control laws. In conclusion, from the point of the above-mentioned cyclical chain of events, it would not be out of place to note that gun control debate seems endless. But one thing I noticed in this essay is the fact that this problem is unavoidable and affects everyone in America today. I personally don't have an answer to this dilemma. But I would suggest that we pay more attention to the issue as individuals. This should be evident in the choices we make. We should answer the question of whether or not gun control law is effective enough in protecting the lives of Americans just as the question of our freedom seems inevitable.
