Question to Ponder: Should laws be passed to limit gun ownership further?

Background Info:
Gun laws vary widely from country to country, so this topic focuses upon arguments for tightening gun laws in principle. Particular debates might center upon different categories of guns (for example automatic weapons, handguns or shotguns), licensing requirements for ownership, the right to carry concealed weapons, or requirements that manufacturers increase the safety features on their weapons. The USA is exceptional in protecting the right to own firearms in the Second Amendment to its Constitution, and gun control has been a major issue in American politics over the last few years, partly due to a series of tragic massacres involving children.

Directions:
Please develop an argument FOR or AGAINST the topic of laws to limit gun ownership. Please go to the following LINK for more information to develop your argument.

* I think that laws should stay as they are now. Gun cause a lot of deaths and trauma in families and peoples lives. But if you think about it, people are not making the most wise decisions in life. But most of us with a good head on our shoulders will play life smart and not let stupid decisions that others make bring us down to their level.
