//**People in America that own guns use them in many different ways. Most people are responsible enough to use them in ways that are accepted like target shooting, hunting, and protect against crime. There are some people that think that guns should be illegal to own. Gun violence is more common in poor urban areas and in association with gang violence, often involving juveniles or young adults. Gun violence in the United States is not a new deal. President Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 and that was a long time ago. It all has to do with the type of people. Every time there is a shooting at a school or a public place it brings up the idea of legalizing guns.**//

//**The people that do use gun for violence should be punished and at least banned from owning a gun and put in jail and all the rest of the responsible people that do use guns in a good way should not be punished. Everybody does not need to pay for the crime of one person. Robberies committed with guns are three times as likely to result in fatalities compared with robberies where other weapons were used. Gun dealers in the United States are prohibited from selling handguns to those under the age of 21, and long guns to those under 18.**// //**The known as a .38 special revolver is the most common gun confiscated by police and traced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. This is the ATF seal below. **//

//**There are many laws that apply to handling a gun. Here are a few of Indiana’s.**// //**It is illegal to carry a concealed weapon, even sporting arms, on school property or on a school bus, on an airplane or in the controlled section of an airport, on a riverboat gambling cruise, or at the Indiana State Fair. Lawful gun owners may have guns in their vehicles on school property provided the driver is only transporting someone to, or from, a school event.**// //**The National Firearms Act or NFA helped to control some of this. The NFA was issued on June 26th 1934. It put restrictions on virtually every category of guns, including machine guns, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, suppressors, destructive devices, and a category labeled any other weapons that includes smooth-bore pistols, pen guns, cane guns and disguised firearms.**// .

//**Firearm regulations are uniform throughout the state, and a firearms permit is valid throughout the state, in all areas other than in a few specially-defined areas. These specially-defined prohibited areas include:**// //**1.In a government building.**// //**2.In a courthouse**// //**3.In a place of worship**// //**4.In a state mental health facility**// //**5.In a bar, unless the owner of the bar permits the carrying of weapons by license holders**// //**6.On the premises of a nuclear power facility**// //**7.Within 150 feet of any polling place**// //**8.In any school building or on school grounds**//

//**What I think is that people should have the right to carry a gun. There is no reason for that right to be taken away from us in the punishment of a few idiots who shouldn't even have them in the first place. People should have guns(if they are responsible and respect what they are capable of)to protect them selves and to be able to use them to hunt or just a dad and son going out and shooting targets for fun. Why should that be taken away from us? If the government comes to your door and says give us all the firearms you have. What would you do? I would hand over one at most just to make them think I only had one. They can't search your whole house and if guns were illegal the main people that would have them would be criminals anyway so then how would you protect your self then? I know many people that would never give up their guns and if the government makes guns illegal what will happen will be a riot because so many Americans have them and many of them wouldn’t be registered so they can't prove it. It would be a bad plan on the governments part to do so.**//
