THE RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS

GUN CONTROL

The District of Columbia is asking the Supreme Court to rule in their favor of banning hand guns in the city. They argue that the Second Amendment applies to the militia or what is now the National Guard. They are also not including in their ban shotguns and rifles. Their claim in will reduce crimes. The problem is that criminals can always find ways to get gun illegally. So, taking handguns away from law abiding citizens will only make them more vunerable to the criminals.
