Putting it simply, gun control doesn't work. Taking away guns from law abiding Americans only makes mass shootings easier. Do you really think that if you couldn't get a gun legally, mass shootings would stop? Mass shooters will still find a way to get guns. The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. I think that everyone should have a gun and a concealed carry permit. I know what you're thinking,"But Jaxon, that puts more guns on people! They could easily cause a mass shooting!" Yes, it could. But for every bad guy there is over 10 good guys. 10 vs 1.

You can probably name some of the biggest mass shootings off of memory.

Orlando, Las Vegas, Parkland.

Can you name the ones that were stopped by a good guy?

No.

You only hear from what the media is saying. It's the media's fault. If the media didn't say these mass shooter's names and give them fame, they would stop. An evil person that opens fire on a group of innocent people doesn't expect bullets to fly back at them. Give bullets back to them, they will take their own life.

Thank you for reading this.
