You Have The Right To Have Access To Cheap Ammo

By Rosella Campbell


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.

The United States Constitution is fairly clear as to what it intends to do. It outlines the mission of the United States and the rights that its citizens can enjoy. The second amendment lays out the right of the people to bear arms. This is meant to reinforce the people's ability to govern themselves and to defend themselves and their property against nefarious minds.

In some states and more specifically in some cities, like in New York or Washington, DC, there are local laws that set stricter controls on weapons. They restrict what can be owned and in what capacity they can be used. Many other entire countries have banned firearms or severely restricted their ownership.

Allowing small victories in things like gun control are the small steps that a government can take to maintain and build their power. Tyrannical regimes around the world have, historically, controlled who can be armed in order to keep power through force, not democracy. They say that history repeats itself but that's only the case when people let it happen.

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.

State restrictions have been working for the most part and it would be nearly impossible to get rid of all the firearms in the US. The states are already full of weapons that are in such diverse places that it wouldn't be an accomplishable task to get rid of them. Everyone from teenage shooting enthusiasts to grandmothers who provide their own home protection own weapons legally.

There is no reason that law abiding citizens can't exercise their right to bear arms. It was a fundamental premise during the foundation of the United States. There is much disagreement as to what that phrase actually means but it does lay the groundwork for some heated discussions. The gun control debate is a fiery one that has always attracted strong opinions from both sides.

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.
