This article from USA Today focuses on John McCain and his views on gun control. McCain supports the Second Amendment of the Constitution. McCain says, "I do not believe we should tamper with the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States.” I agree with McCain. I also support the Second Amendment and believe that it should be preserved, which means no gun control.

John McCain believes that it is a fundamental right for citizens to keep and bear arms. It is one of our Constitutional rights and we have a duty to protect it. This means that we should not have gun control. McCain says, “We have a responsibility to ensure that criminals who violate the law are prosecuted to the fullest, rather than restricting the rights of law abiding citizens.” Law abiding citizens should not be asked to give up their rights because of criminals.

The Constitution was established for the citizens of the United States of America. And the Second Amendment of the Constitution gives us the right to bear arms. This right should not be compromised by the government. Even though there are criminals who violate and abuse their privileges, their mistakes should not have an effect on the rest of the population. Instead of confiscating the rights of all citizens McCain supports criminal background checks. Background checks help prohibit criminals from buying firearms. McCain has voted to ensure they are conducted efficiently. And when they are conducted they won’t have any effect on the right of law abiding citizens.
