Gun Control

Guns are as American as baseball, real rock 'n roll, and apple pie. It is because of our long
militant history that properly educated Americans have the right and the duty to own and use as many
of the most powerful weapons as we can afford.

     The second amendment of the Constitution of the United States states: "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." The framers of the Constitution believed that this amendment was so important
that they not only placed it second but also refused to sign the Constitution without it. However, there
are many gun opponents who believe that "the right to keep and bear Arms" refers to the Militia. It
would be very repetitive though to say that an army needs to armed. Therefore, this must refer to the
average American citizen. Perhaps the reason that gun opponents want America unarmed is because

every Indian in the West was a friend of Ben Cartwright, he still carried two guns on his waist and
kept a gun closet in his house full of rifles and shotguns. All these guns were used to protect his land
and family from outlaws.

     Our country is still plagued by outlaws. Today's outlaws and desperadoes consists of drug
dealers and urban youth. They have no concept of life and death and therefore more murders are
committed by them than by any other group of people. Taking away there guns is not the answer. On
one episode of All in the Family Gloria told her father Archie that more people were killed in
America by guns than by any other weapon. In response he said to her, "Would you feel better little
goyl if theys was pushed out of a window?" His grammar may be off but his idea is right on track.
