Gun Control

Cons: 
What:“Self-defense is a fundamental right,” 
Who:The National Rifle Association's Institute 
When: Oct. 6, 2014
Where: America
Why: Dispute that guns make people feel safer. The feeling of having a gun at a person's side make that person feel more secure and safe. The aura of having a weapon on hand is comforting to some.
Pro: 
What:More gun control would lead to less crime.
When: 2010
Where: America
Who: People
Why:The total prevalence of violent crime in America in 2010, according to the National Crime Survey, was 10.8 per 1,000 people; that is, you had about a 1.1% chance of being a victim of a violent crime. The restriction has statistical evidence that gun laws bring a safer environment. With restrictions and strict background checks, gun laws have an impact in a society.
