Modern issues essay
Gun control is a controversial issue for a long time around the world, particularly in U.S. because of a lots of mass shooting in school and public places. The second Amendment of the U.S. constitution is one of the shortest in all of the bill of right, it was written by the time period of American’s birth and it is the spirit of self-defense that help the new citizens of U.S. win their own freedom from the British.

This evidence confirms once again that there is no causation between gun control and crime. gun control and crime rate is not much related.

The guns should be keep legal, but the government should enact more rigorous gun laws and enforce the laws, if making the gun illegal would cause the citizens defenseless and give rise to the rampant black market. We should have better crime control instead of have more gun
