    Cameron Coletta Mrs. Cummings English III A.P. 3 March, 2016 Gun Containment Policy There is much controversy over whether or not to make the owning of guns illegal. While some think that doing this would bring an end to monstrous events, previously taken place, many others believe that this law would make the country more dangerous.

The claim that making guns illegal would make the country more dangerous, is supported by logical evidence.
