The Gun Issue in the United States.

    The Second Amendment states, "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 reason the topic comes to mind as of recently with the protests, riots, and whatnot is that more and more people have been misinformed by politicians and certain anti-gun movements, such as, "March for our lives", to the extent of which people in the U.S. have become more ignorant as to guns actually work. During the last decade senate and house of rep. members have been pushing for gun reforms( and Usually they are democrats) such as Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Beto O'Rourke, and countless others. A phrase these politicians usually throw out is that they say that the  weapon of mass shooters are semi auto rifles, but this simply isn't the case due to the fact that about 70% of all gun crimes including, mass shootings, are committed with pistols. However, because this evidence does not apply to the narrative that the legislators who push for gun control, it is majorly ignored. Another term tossed around by politicians who support gun reform is " fully semi-automatic" which essentially means absolutely nothing. Fully semi- automatic really just means semi automatic which is when a rifle can only fire as fast as you pull the trigger. And when it comes to access of fully automatic rifles in the U.S. it is barely non existent. This is due to the fact that after the rise of the mafia in the 1920s-30s and their use of Tommy guns ( automatic sub machine guns) a new law was made called " The National Firearms Act"  in which the U.S. imposed a large scale restriction on the sale of automatic firearms, other weapons and a tax as well as making it harder to receive an automatic firearm without proper registration and a specific license. 

    Furthermore, it becomes annoying when people all of a sudden think they become experts on the firearm issue after seeing someone do a heavily edited video online with inspirational quotes and whatnot. That is not the case however, most people in the U.S. aren't homicidal maniacs (except Florida) and simply use their second amendment right to protect their property, families, and/or themselves. Even knowing this some young misinformed kid will be wondering the streets asking the government to take the american peoples guns because one person decided to go on a killing spree so therefore everyone with a gun becomes evil. And some like to point that the theory of a good guy with a gun is bogus but this example doesn't have much to back it seeing as how back in 2019 a man shot a mass shooter from 40 feet away after the shooter fired at two civilians. 

     To conclude, the last paragraph above can be seen as a rant, but the first paragraph overall is mainly factual. To state my entire belief on the gun issue in the U.S., I believe in background checks in order to acquire a firearm, but do not agree with banning firearms such as the famous "boogeyman" of a rifle the AR-15. Saying all this some people will try and continue the argument that people do not need these rifles for protection but you can all argue that in the comment section. Overall I believe that the second amendment should be protected at all costs and that before politicians or people make an argument about guns that they understand how firearms work.

     So my question to you is how you feel overall about the issue, and what approach should be taken when making laws about firearms? Do you think politicians should or should not infringe with the second amendment ( and before you say that they can't, remember that amendments can be amended)? Should we restrict all firearms, some firearms, or none at all?
