"Life without Gun Control"
Bill of Rights, Amendment II "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The article,”Don’t let this moment pass without acting on gun control,” discussed the thoughts on the new legislation with gun control. John Avlon reported that, “more than 200 Americans have been killed in mass shootings in the last five years.” Due to high increases in violence, there will be stricter gun laws and bans on high-capacity ammunition clips. Avlon questions if the Congress will even acknowledge this proposition but Southern Democratic Senators and the National Rifle Association are trying to really bring attention and a productive resolution to this.
The 2nd Amendment, the right to bear arms, is a right protected by the constitution. To decrease crime, people think the national government should control the sale of guns but others believe that this violates the 2nd Amendment in the bill of rights. This relates to the article because democratic senators at the NRA are trying to create stricter gun laws. Some Republicans, members of the NRA, and citizens don’t agree with this because they believe it violates their rights in the 2nd Amendment. They believe that if they have the right to bear arms, there shouldn’t be specific laws on what they can own exactly, despite the rise in violence.
