PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla.,
March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- Though the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of
the United States has been in
effect for nearly 250 years, there is no shortage of political
opposition to this foundational piece of legislation. Gun control
advocates spend a considerable amount of time trying to undo the
2nd Amendment, all in the name of reducing gun violence and keeping
our "streets safer." The problem is, it isn't that simple - and gun
control doesn't really work… Just ask concerned citizens of
Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore and Washington D.C. - all cities with intensely
tight gun control laws. These areas lead the nation in terms of
violent gun crime. To help dispel many of the underreported myths
about gun control, leading online ammunition and firearms
accessories retailer Ammunition Depot released a compelling new
infographic that outlines the TRUTH about gun control.
Key learnings from the infographic cover the main problems with
gun control, including:
- It is unconstitutional, according to a landmark Supreme Court
ruling in 2008 that overturned a law banning Washington, D.C. residents from possessing a
handgun.
- The fundamental idea behind restricting gun access for
law-abiding people, while not addressing the fact that criminals do
not follow the law, is flawed.
- 99 out of 100 mass shootings occur in gun-free zones -
indicating that further restricting gun possession in areas like
schools, churches and airports may not be a wise move.
- 200,000 women every year use a gun to defend themselves - and
states with concealed carry laws see reduced levels of rape,
robbery and aggravated assault.
- Approximately 40% of US households have a gun, including 45% of
male and 15% of female residents
The notion that gun control is an effective means to lower crime
rates is simply not true, and this infographic clearly and
effectively demonstrates that restricting the constitutional rights
of honest, law-abiding citizens is not the answer.
