Article: Assault Style Weapons Ban & The Second Amendment
The sound of a gun is something most of us don't want to hear in our lifetime. The tragedy to see our young people perish at the hands of a mentally unstable person, has touched our hearts deeply. Very few countries allow their people the right to bare arms as freely as in the United States. Guns are considered by many as evil and immoral. In the United States, it is not unusual to wake up to the tragedy of another school shooting. It is a detestable feeling to be powerless watching as many pure, young, and innocent lives are taken away by these guns. These events have ignited a huge debate about our second amendment. One section of the population is asking for gun regulation, while other section of the population is worried about government over reach.
There is one thing in common that most people would agree on; that is that we must avoid gun tragedies as much as possible. Our laws already make gun dealers, importers and manufactures run background checks on the transfer of firearms. However, that has done little to stop people from getting their hands on assault style weapons. Lots of movements, as well as business support, have emerged to push for gun reform. An example of these movements is called "the March for Our Lives" that started when high school students come together after their school was targeted by a shooter.
The mass murderers often inspire other mentally unstable and evil people to commit the most heinous acts. The price of freedom has cost us many lives, but are we really willing to give up the right to self preservation? The debate rages on.
