You Have The Right To Have Access To Cheap Ammo

By Rosella Campbell


America today is concerned with many things. The economy, foreign affairs and other things top the list alongside of the issue of gun control. Gun control is something that gets people pretty riled up. There are proponents for both sides of the argument. Anti-gun control proponents are worried about things like what weapons are available and how cheap ammo can be purchased.

When a criminal has a stand-off with police forces and is armed with a knife or a baseball bat, they are often times, more than capable of apprehending the individual with no loss of life. There is a much different process involved though, when someone is armed to the teeth and out of their mind. With the weapons that are already available, stand-offs become lethal much more often than in places where gun ownership is illegal or highly restricted.

Often times, police can find themselves outgunned in the US. Criminals have access to more firearms than in many other western nations. A huge amount of the population are legal gun owners and the market is flooded. Keeping them out of the wrong hands gets more and more difficult with every weapon that is legally sold. It means that there is one more weapon to choose from and the market is flooded that much more.

Allowing small victories in things like gun control are the small steps that a government can take to maintain and build their power. Tyrannical regimes around the world have, historically, controlled who can be armed in order to keep power through force, not democracy. They say that history repeats itself but that's only the case when people let it happen.

What both sides are concerned with is the sale and availability of weapons and ammunition. You can control weapons by making them or the necessary rounds prohibitively expensive. If an area makes it nearly impossible to shoot, the consequences will be considered on a financial level before much else. The weapon can be cheap but if rounds are hundreds of dollars per shot then each shot is an investment.

Banning guns in America is an impossible task. The flood of weapons in America is overflowing from the states and into Mexico. This is a place where American weapons wind up in the hands of narco cartels and human trafficking operations.

There is no reason that law abiding citizens can't exercise their right to bear arms. It was a fundamental premise during the foundation of the United States. There is much disagreement as to what that phrase actually means but it does lay the groundwork for some heated discussions. The gun control debate is a fiery one that has always attracted strong opinions from both sides.

The right to bear arms is guaranteed to the people of the U. S. The meaning of that phrase is muddled by people who insist on owning weapons that would never see use as they were intended but the sad fact is that things find their ways into the wrong hands. Available weapons combined with a lack of education allow for the misuse of firearms with alarming regularity.
