In my fellow classmates blog Politically inept? Not For Long, He talks about how all forms of Gun Control are not only illegal but Unconstitutional. He had a very strong argument, saying the founding fathers envisioned the evolution of weaponry and therefore all weaponry is our given right thanks to the Second Amendment. Honestly it took me a while to think of a rebuttal for his argument as my main argument for gun control is the founding fathers, as brilliant and far thinking as they were, didn't foresee the amount of death that the Second Amendment is causing.  However, there are already gun regulations currently in the United states and the branch of government that is in charge of deciding whether or not a law is unconstitutional or not, the Judicial branch, has supported several laws that limit Americans ability to "bear arms". The second amendment was implemented to protect American citizens and I would argue it does more harm than good at this point in time. I cannot see our founding fathers being okay with there being more mass shootings in a year then there are days. I do believe his argument that they knew weaponry would advance but it is impossible to know how much or to what extent they would evolve to.
