We can't take away our citizens right to carry a gun quite simply because it is a right that we did not create. It is a right that existed before the constitution and even government itself. It is an inalienable right. If we were to take away their right to carry a gun, all other rights then become meaningless.
Plus, it would be very bad to establish strict gun control here in America. Victims use handguns an estimated 1.9 million times each year in self-defense against an attack by another person, according to a survey conducted by Florida State University criminologist Gary Kleck. Studies have found that robbery and rape victims who resist with a gun cut the risks of injury in half.
In addition, the deterrent effect of concealed handgun laws proved highest in counties with high crime rates. For example, FBI statistics showed that in counties with populations of more than 200,000 (typically the counties with the highest rates of violent crime), laws allowing concealed carry produced a 13 percent drop in the murder rate and a 7 percent decline in rapes.
