Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for the army; that gun violence would be reduced and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions. 

Opponents say that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns; that guns are needed for self-defense and that gun ownership deters crime rather than causes more crime ]]> 2017-11-04 11:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/myteacherorit/aykq0ll8qr6k/wish/203524860
