No matter your stance on the subject. Gun control has become the big talk in the United States and rightfully so.<br /><br />How can we as a nation protect our citizens? Will Gun control help? Maybe in a few ways. Having tougher gun laws will help. Extensive <br /><br />background checks will solve some of the problems but will not completely get rid of the problem. Why you say, well in all of history <br /><br />there has always been violence in every part of the world. There are some that do not respect the life of another. They take what they<br /><br />want and do not care about lives. Evil people will always exsist. So the debate will go on, here's an idea. The right to bear arms is in<br /><br />our constitution. It was put there for a reason, to provide our people with its own protection in case of attack. Either from other countries<br /><br />criminals, or from our own government. Think back to the revolutionary war. What were our founding fathers fighting against. Why did they put <br /><br />this ammendment into our constitution? These are a few questions to ponder. <br /><br /><br /><br />The ban of semi-automatic weapons will help, no one needs these weapons, except the military who are trained to use them. But total <br /><br />ban of guns would be a devastating blow to our personal rights as citizens. When one fundamental right is taken away. there surely will<br /><br />be more to follow. We do not live in a perfect world. There is no easy answers. What is your stance on this controversal subject? What is the best way to keep our people, especially our children safe?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://ibourl.com/11zt"><img src="http://www.ibosocial.com/images/linkarrow.gif" border="0" alt="linkarrow.gif" /> ibourl.com/11zt </a><br />Author: Christine Forsythe </td></tr></tbody></table></div>
