Overview The topic of gun control is a very controversial topic that is very important to my family. My family loves guns and they are a very large part of my family's lives. We very much support the second amendment; it is one of our favorite amendments. I get my political views mostly from my dad, and he is very adamant about his views. We are a pretty well-advised family that knows what we are talking about. This topic is a matter of safety that should be important to everybody.

It started adding regulation. Every firearm had to be registered by the National Firearms Act. They made restrictions on guns stricter to pass. All weapon barrels had to be shorter then 18 inches. Then in 1965 NFA merged and the merger consisted of about 1,004 chapters in 12 states and added about 50,000 members.

It is easy to learn how to be safe with guns, with a hunters safety course and some good words from some smart people. The liberals who want tighter regulations want more laws and rules (Wayne R. LaPierre 16). Liberals cannot let us have any guns, yet they can be surrounded by security guard. It is just idiotic to me how they can use all the guns; they are hypocrites. Gun control is an awful idea, not to mention there is an amendment against
