// The 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states: // // A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. //

Gun Control has always been a hot topic in the United States. There are people who argue that the government is too involved in the control of the possession and use of firearms in this country and people who believe that there is nowhere near enough legislation of the possession and use of firearms in this country.

** Your task: Where do you stand on the issue of gun control in our country? **

Using primarily databases and books, (SIRS, Opposing Viewpoints, EbscoHost, etc.) – persuade me that there needs to be more, less, or the same amount of federal and state gun control legislation in this country.
