One political topic that affects us all is gun control. The article I read shows how cities that have strict gun control laws are still plagued with gun violence. One example used was how 1 person is shot everyday in Ontario, Canada even though guns are banned.
I believe this article sheds some light on why gun control laws are not very affective. Typically communities with higher rates of gun ownership have lower gun violence rates, because people don't wait for help to arrive, they are their own protection. For example no one is wants to invade a home if they know everyone in that neighborhood has guns/. places like Chicago, where guns have been banned, have had the greatest crime rates. Chicago had over 700 murders this year even though they have banned all guns. Most of these murders were committed with stolen firearms, which comes to show that law- abiding citizens will always obey the law even if they are carrying a gun.

Lane, I completely agree. People are going to find ways to get guns illegally, and its not fair for the ones who follow the law because they won't be protected. The constitution states that all people have the right to bear arms. Therefore, it is unconstitutional if they are taken away.
