This story shows that guns can be apply to save lives. the Statesns have gun proper(ip)s and privileges thanks to the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. It states, A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep up and bear arms, shall not be infringed. The U.S. Constitution has given the open these privileges so Americans may have the right to protect ourselves with a gun if needs be. In the constitution they make sure to point out Americans have the right to keep and bear arms. Even though times have changed, the sentiment of a militia has remained the same as Samuel Adams stated, The Militia is composed of free citizens, which Americans are all free citizens having the right to bear arms. A person that has the right to bear arms should be a person that can handle that responsibility.There are many laws in place right now to stanch people who are irresponsible from buying a gun. The law that is supposed to be the main source of gun control is the Brady Bill. The Brady Bill is named after pack Brady, who was shot by John Hinckley during an assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. Even though this bill was introduced after this incident, it would not have made a difference in the shootings. John Hinckley had a good record with no mental illness and no felony convictions in any jurisdiction, so the public cant say only criminals use g... ...ady Bill into affect in all the states. Gun legislatures also need to start taking some steps towards do gun offenders too scared to even pick up a gun. The public cant live without guns and most people will never give up thei r guns. So when the Public comes to that fork in the road lets decide to make people that break the law suffer. The people that abide by the law demand to enjoy their guns without fear that it might be used against them or they will have to use it against someone else. BibliographyBrady, Sarah.
