The United States has just witnessed another mass shooting in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The accused shooter was able to purchase the gun he used to kill eight people that same day. This incident has raised again the issue of the relative easy access to guns in the United States and the unfortunate consequences such as frequent school shootings. The debate on the right to bear arms has raged for decades with proponents and opponents of gun control vigorously defending their positions.  Briefly examine the arguments of both groups and state where you stand on the gun control debate and why.
