NASCAR is also a legitimate recreational sport. However, those who own NASCAR racecars are still not permitted to drive their cars around going 200 mph. Gun owners and hunters should not be allowed to carry their sport tools around town, either.

Against:

Guns are used for self-defence 2.5 million times a year, making gun control laws stricter could infringe upon the right to self-defence and deny people a sense of safety and therefore therefore, gun control laws should not become stricter.

For:

There were 464,033 total gun deaths between 1999 and 2013 therefore gun control laws should be stricter as this would reduce gun deaths.

Reason: In 1996, Australia restricted gun ownership, and has seen a 59% decrease in gun related killings.

Conclusion: Gun ownership should be restricted in America to prevent homicides.

FOR- Concealed carry and owning guns are making the USA too dangerous.  Between 1982 and 2012, the US had roughly sixty-two mass shootings. That’s an astonishing number—but it’s not what I’m driving at. Instead, this research by Mother Jones shows that, of those sixty-two shootings, forty-nine were perpetrated using legal weapons. Therefore stricter gun control laws should be in place.

Martinez, the father of Christopher Ross Michaels-Martinez, 20, of Los Osos, California, has condemned the National Rifle Association and lax US gun laws multiple times since the incident.

“Have we learned nothing?” Martinez asked. “These things are going to continue until somebody does something, so where the hell is the leadership?

“My kid died because nobody responded to what occurred at Sandy Hook. Those parents lost little kids. It’s bad enough that I lost my 20-year-old, but I had 20 years with my son. That’s all I’ll ever have but those people lost their children at six and seven years old.

“How do you think they feel? Who’s talking to them now? Who’s doing anything for them now?”

Ban guns. All guns. Get rid of guns in homes, and on the streets, and, as much as possible, on police. Not just because of San Bernardino, or whichever mass shooting may pop up next, but also not not because of those. Don’t sort the population into those who might do something evil or foolish or self-destructive with a gun and those who surely will not. As if this could be known—as if it could be assessed without massively violating civil liberties and stigmatizing the mentally ill. Ban guns! Not just gun violence. Not just certain guns. Not just already-technically-illegal guns. All of them.

From 1999 to 2013 a total of 464,033 deaths by firearms happened in the U.S. Of this number 37% was from homicides, 55% from suicide's and 9% from accidental killings. The fact that mostly anyone can get guns make's this number a threat to increase every day. More gun control laws should be enacted because, more gun laws would decrease death rates.

For
Fun and personal fascination with precision engineering. Same reason many people love cars, motorcycles, Swiss Army knives, etc. There are about 26 million videos on youtube about guns, many offering detailed reviews and design characteristics.
In addition, shooting sports are third most popular event at the summer olympics (none are televised in the United States), and about six percent of Americans are active hunters.
A gun in a locked safe is an emergency safety device, like fire extinguishers and alarm systems. Most people won't ever need them, but it's reasonable to install them anyway.

(c)gun control won't actually prevent mass shootings; (r) heart disease kills more Americans annually than guns; murder is illegal, and that doesn't prevent it from happening all the time. therefore stricter gun laws are not justified.

Mentally ill felons can own nuclear weapons. Children can own machine guns. Terrorists can bring hand grenades on airplanes (conclusion) because the right to bear arms shall not be infringed (reason) therefore there should be stricter gun laws. (i.e change the right to bear arms) - (Source huffington post,  David Edward Burke, a democrat. )
