Pro: 
-Countries with restrictive gun control laws lower gun homicides and suicides rates than the US
-Legally owned guns are frequently stolen and used by criminals
-would reduce the number of accidental gun deaths 
-2nd amendment was intended to project to protect the right of militias to own guns not the right of individuals.


Con:
-Our constitutional right to have guns (2nd) protects ownership 
- civilians should be armed to protect their own being and property 
-Laws do not apply to criminals there will still be shootings 
-Laws restrict/infringe upon the right to own guns for hunting and sports
-These laws give too much power to government 
-Invasion of privacy for background checks
-Gun control laws and lower gun ownership rates do not prevent suicides 
-More gun control is unnecessary because relatively few people are killed by guns 
-Gun control efforts have proved ineffective in past.
