Gun laws are necessary to keeping our nation safe but only to a certain extent. We have the right to own a gun to protect ourselves by the second amendment but obviously not everyone should be able to own a gun. Some will argue tighter gun control laws will benefit us but they have been proven to be ineffective. States that consisted of the lowest gun control laws had much lower murder rates associated with guns then those with high gun controls laws. Gun control laws don't prevent bad people from getting guns it prevents good people from getting guns. We are at a time where terrorism is becoming a greater threat and trying to fight off a terrorist who has a gun and a bomb is not easy with just your fists. The terrorists who are carrying out these attacks did not get there guns legally so obviously adding more laws only affects the American people who would use the legal system to obtain one, not the terrorists who leave the legal system completely off their minds.
