The Second Amendment of the US Constitution protects individual gun ownership. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution reads, "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." (Gun Control - ProCon.org should more gun control laws be enacted?) Gun ownership is an American tradition older than the country itself and is protected by the Second Amendment; more gun control laws would infringe upon the right to bear arms. Justice Antonin Scalia, LLB, in the June 26, 2008 District of Columbia et al. v. Heller US Supreme Court majority opinion syllabus stated, "The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.¨ (Gun Control - ProCon.org should more gun control laws be enacted?)
“Defending oneself is a basic natural right that grows out of the right to life" and "many [gun control laws] interfere with the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against violent criminals." Constitutions in 37 US states protect the right to bear arms for self-defense, most with explicit language such as Alabama's: "every citizen has a right to bear arms in defense of himself and the state." Wayne LaPierre, Executive Vice President of the NRA, stated, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." A May 9, 2013 48% of convicted felons surveyed admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed with a gun. Pew Foundation report found that 79% of male gun owners and 80% of female gun owners said owning a gun made them feel safer and 64% of people living in a home in which someone else owns a gun felt safer. Even Senator Dianne Feinstein, a gun control advocate, carried a concealed gun when her life was threatened and her home attacked by the New World Liberation Front in the 1970s.(Gun Control - ProCon.org should more gun control laws be enacted?)
Beyond that, who among us has the right to tell me I will murder someone because I have a gun? And who can tell me that I can only defend and protect myself in a way they feel comfortable with? Just having access to a deadly weapon doesn't turn someone into a killer. Have you ever felt road rage? Many of us who have cars have felt some form of extreme anger at other drivers because we feel they have put us in danger. We might even envision ramming their cars or cutting them off in return, but do we actually do it? No, because the overwhelming majority of us never want to take another human life.i think that this part of the evidence can tell how guns don’t do anything to us.
Cars are tools that is involved in about as many deaths as guns. If you are a driver prone to drinking and driving, should we only allow you to drive a small car? Not an SUV which could kill more people? No, we take away the drunk driver's access to legally drive any car. This is about freedom to do as you like until you prove incapable of showing good moral judgment. This piece of evidence that i found in ´´american sniper widow¨help by telling me how guns don't kill as much as cars and other things do and how people who try to do mass murders do drugs or have access to guns to do a mass murder

In fact, the most rigorous research and analysis suggests that all these gun permits caused neither a drop in crime nor a spike in killings.]
I don’t think that taking guns away from u.s. citizens isn’t going to do anything to the u.s. or the people of (THE TOP ONE IS IN MY WORD) america because it’s not going to stop people from killing each other and suicide rates(death rate)to drop.
We liberals sometimes equate guns with danger. In fact, it’s complicated: The number of guns in America has increased by more than 50 percent since 1993, and in that same period the gun homicide rate in the United States has dropped by half Guns #3: Some Inconvenient Gun Facts for Liberals (Version B)
If the u.s. Banns guns because people and families that own guns wouldn’t be able to protect themselves and their families from robbers or other people who would try to hurt them or their family with a gun one piece of evidence that i found said”The police cannot protect everyone all of the time. 61% of men and 56% of women surveyed by Pew Research said that stricter gun laws would "make it more difficult for people to protect their homes and families." Nelson Lund, JD, PhD, Professor at George Mason University School of Law, stated, "The right to self-defense and to the means of defending oneself is a basic natural right that grows out of the right to life" and "many [gun control laws] interfere with the ability of law-abiding citizens to defend themselves against violent criminals."
I think everyone who owns guns or anyone to know that if they do ban guns then they’ll take all of them and if they do you or anyone who thinks they need a gun because of the area that they live is dangerous then you can’t protect yourself or your family from anyone who tries to hurt you and your family and if they do ban guns it won’t stop people from smuggling guns into the u.s.and it won’t stop people from killing each other and the suicide rate(death rate)./Does it matter what weapon they used? If it was a rifle, a pipe bomb, a truck of fertilizer, a pressure cooker or a plane -- the end result is the same. Yet millions of other people have the freedom to have those very same things and will never use them to kill.
