Statistics/examples: The Truth

The government is trying to seek publicity when attempting to promote stricter laws; they are not necessarily trying to help us decrease the amount of violence. According to an online website, statistics show that a majority of people want only to continue the existing laws because we all know that creating more laws will not only infringe on our rights as citizens, but also not be beneficial to us, therefore, there is nothing good that comes out of enforcing new gun control laws. For example, Chicago has had strict laws regarding gun control laws for years and there continues to be high levels of gun violence within Chicago. The second amendment states that every citizen has the right to own a gun for protection, and we should not be stripped of that right because of the government’s attempt to have too much power. Ultimately, the statistics do not support actions of the government, and history as proved it.
