The right to weapons

There is a lot of controversy surrounding the 2nd amendment, specifically the right to bear arms. Politicians should not enact stricter gun law as it is the people unalienable right to bear them. Weapons should not be restricted, guns are not the primary cause of deaths and people should have the freedom to bear them.

When most people think about guns today, they believe that guns should be restricted to the point of not even buying them. Ever since the founding of the United States in 1776, the right to bear arms was crucial in taking down a tyrannical government. Having the right to be able to defend ourselves from people who wish to do us harm, it is a right that cannot be taken away. Andres Cordova, a contribute of the hill gathers information on the situation. Cordova states "On the other side of the discussion, many claim that the Second Amendment must be understood in its original sense and that the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental individual right." (Cordova, para 7). This shows how our right to bear arms cannot not be infringed upon and is there for a fundamental right.

Another point people make is that guns kill people, this is false as guns are not a inanimate object. For the longest time, people have been the cause of death related to weapons, people control guns in the sense of discharging it. The most recent killings throughout the United States have led to this for example, the florida shooting. A good point that gun control activists make is mental health with guns, this is agreeable as the mentally ill should not handle a gun. At the same time, is it not their right to own and use one? This is why this issue is so controversial and has led to numerous protests and calls for ratifying the constitution.

In conclusion, guns are not something that should be restricted as it is our right to own them. Guns are not the cause of death, people are the ones in control of them. Finally, people should have the freedom to continue to use and buy them.
