Gun Control

A conservative would argue that the Second Amendment gives anyonel the right to keep and bear arms. Gun control laws do not stop criminals from obtaining weapons. You have a right to defend yourself against criminals as well as own a gun. More guns mean less crime. A liberal would say that the Second Amendment gives no individual the right to own a gun, but allows the state to keep a militia (National Guard). Guns kill people. Guns kill children.
Personally I believe the only defense against criminals is an armed populus. Someone will be able to stop an evildoer if they are there at that moment, which in most cases, the police who have guns arent.
