deters crime, keeps individuals and the public safer, is protected by the Second Amendment, and protect women and minorities who can't always rely on the police for protection.

The children of this country fear for their lives while walking through the doors of public schools, universities, and colleges. Guns should include an extensive background check and a series of tests for approval, so therefore, it is harder for the wrong people to obtain. As well as a price increase. There should also be a limit to the amount of guns each household can obtain unless they partake in police work or military work. It has been proven repeatedly that guns take the lives of young people every day. If that not being an eye-opener, some states have made it legal to carry a gun publicly without a permit.
While the right to have a gun is protected by the 2nd amendment, that doesn't that guns should be free for everyone to have. The guns when the founding fathers wrote the constitution are very different now then back then. It is perfectly reasonable to have a gun for self-defense, but if your really think that you need it for self defense you can easily prove that it is for self-defense through various tests and trainings to prove that you can properly use a gun when needed. Cars are dangerous things, but you need a license to operate them, so why shouldn't it be the same for guns.

While it may deter crime and citizens have a constitutional right to defend themselves our current gun control structure allows high caliber weapons to be purchased and used in situations that are entirely inappropriate. Military-grade weapons should not be sold at all and it is dangerous to sell any weapon that can kill so quickly without background-checking purchasers. More guns leads to more shootings and an escalation of violence.

We already have background checks in place, and identification requirements, along with that we have to get a license. Adding more restrictions will only deter the amount of people that can keep themselves safe. We the people should have the right to bear arms without such restrictions on protection.

If you reduce the guns out there then there are reduced opportunities for a gun problem to even pop up. If guns are out of the picture there is not issue with guns then.

The bastardization of the police is not an excuse to let the general public own firearms. Fix the police, don't arm the civilians.
