As an American, sadly gun control is one of the many topics people often talk about with little to no compromise or education.
Personally, I'm a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment for many reasons. People have the right to defend themselves how they see fit, the government has proven itself to be incompetent, no one has the right to determine what others may or may not have, and there are far better solutions to the problem that's honestly not even a big deal to begin with.

- Gun safety and training should be mandatory for all who wish to own guns. This is more common sense than anything. All kinds of guns and ammunition should be available. You don't get special treatment just because you're military or police. You're human just like the rest of us and flawed like the rest of us.
- Violent criminals and the mentally unstable shouldn't be able to own guns either. Seeing as how over half of all gun deaths in America are suicides, the main issue is lack of mental health treatment, not guns.
- Non-emancipated minors shouldn't have guns unless they're under adult supervision and/or have permission from a parent or guardian.
- Gun free zones shouldn't exist. Most of the prolific mass shootings in not just the U.S. but in the world took place in gun free zones which means that they don't work nor help.
- Places with strict gun control often have the worst crime. California has very strict (and stupid) gun laws but yet many mass shootings have taken place there. Cities like Detroit, Chicago, Memphis (my city), New York, etc are a prime example of this point.
- Criminals will get guns anyway regardless of gun control and can easily kill you with any other weapon/method. The biggest massacres in world history weren't even committed with guns. The 9/11 attacks, the Bath School Massacre, just to name a few prove this.
- You're far more likely to die from many other things in America such as heart disease, car accidents, drug/alcohol consumption, medical errors, etc.
