Second amendment

In our discussion today, we will focus on the second amendment which has been interpreted to mean that citizens have the right to own firearms.
• Do you believe gun ownership should be unregulated or do you believe in stricter forms of gun control? If you believe in gun control, what forms of control do you support?
• Why are guns important to so many Americans? Research how many Americans own guns.
• Would having less guns mean that less crime would happen?
• Research guns laws in other westernized countries (i.e., UK, other European nations, Australia, Canada, etc..).
• Do countries with tougher gun laws or that have banned guns entirely experience less crime than the US?
• Do cities/states that have tougher gun laws have more or less crime than places that do not have gun control?
• Consider recent massacres (Las Vegas, Parkland, FL, and more). Would these tragedies still have happened if guns were less accessible?
