Gun Control

My social issue is should guns be allowed in public places or not? This is a social issue because guns are a serious topic and are dangerous weapons. Many people use these weapons for defense and others use it for offense. People disagree that they shouldn’t have guns in public places because it could cause harm and danger to those around you. I think that they should allow guns in public places because people need protection and they should be able to have it wherever they go.

There are some pros and cons to this. If people were to have guns in public places, there would not be a lot of crime because people would shoot them if they tried to steal anything. Another pro could be students lives wouldn’t be a stake if there was a school shooter because the teachers would have guns on them. Crime rates would lower also if there were robberies and auto-thefts. This would benefit communities with high crime rates. There are a few cons when it comes to should guns be allowed in public places. If we gave guns to those who are in public places, such as a college or university, they could maybe misuse it wrong and go around killing innocent people just for fun. If we gave teacher guns, and if there was a mass shooting, the teachers could get shot because the police would think that they are the gunman because they have the gun. It all depends on the person and who you give the gun to.

My questions for you are. Do you think we should allow guns in public places?

If someone gave you a gun, would you use it property.
