“Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.” Many people stand by new gun control laws, but I am one of many Americans in which are against them. Watching the evening news or simply reading the daily paper seem impossible these days without the tragic details of a child accidently shooting him/herself or massive school shooting.

That there has been an increase in the number of people licensed to carry.” Lott goes on to say “You can deter criminality through longer sentencing, and you deter criminality by making it risker for people to commit crimes.” And one way to make it risker is to create the impression among the criminal population that law-abiding
