Introduction

• Has this ever happened to you. Youre walking
  down the street and all of a sudden a stray gun
  jumps out of nowhere and fires at you.
• It is simple in todays society that we are bent
  on blaming the gun for this senseless attack and
  not the person pulling the trigger.
• This is evident in the recent movement of Gun
  Control.

Introduction (contd)

• The problem is that mandated Gun Control does not
  keep people who commit violent crimes from
  getting a gun and shooting people.

  crimes by giving you the positive aspect of gun
  control, why we are against it, and know some of

  increased crime

  described as the most stringent gun law two
  years later, the murder rate was up 46 and the
  robbery rate nearly doubled
• In 1968, Hawaii imposed a series of increasingly
  harsh measures and its murder rate, then a low
  2.4 per 100,000 per year, tripled to 7.2 by
  1977
• Studies also show that the crime rate in some
  states that have more relaxed gun laws, are low
• Among the 15 states with the highest homicide
  rates, 10 have restrictive or very restrictive
  gun laws
