Amerikanske våbenrettigheder og våbenkontrol

In America it is not a special thing to have a gun in your house, you can as a normal citizen go down to a shop where there are weapons and buy a gun, but you have to sign some paper and document in order that you have bought it, but you can’t have a criminal background. Many states want to reduce gun laws a little because people are not only buying guns but also machine guns and what else is found in dangerous weapons, and its typically gang members who got their hands on those weapons. Why does America want guns when it creates so many problems? Many are threatened on life others die, and you can still buy weapons like if it were a scooter or a bike in another country. So why does America love Guns?

The united states are very known for its love of guns, they have the biggest percent of people with guns in the world, 88 guns per 100 people (00:11). Their love of guns come from their early history, and that’s because they were feeling safety and freedom if they had a gun on them, like the (Amendment ll) says “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”(00:30). It had changed very much from state to state. Some of the people also have a gun because of self-defense, and it may be if there's a break-in in your house, then you can take out your gun and say "either you go or then I shoot you”, and it's been seen many times in the United States before e.g. (01:00), also has NRA CEO, Wayne La Pierre in 2012 said "the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun”(01:30). There have been many different laws over the years, but they haven't been able to stop gun shops from selling guns to regular people, and the reason they haven't been able to do that is because half of the people in the U.S. which is 52% they voted yes to gun rights, and 46% of them voted no (01:40). There have been a lot of protests about guns, and there many good posters with good quotes and reasons to have a gun, one of them is one seen in the video “You DONT SHOOT TO KILL. You SHOOT TO STAY ALIVE'', and the people have protested a lot in front of the white house, also about guns (01:45).
