When a football player shot his girlfriend and himself a huge conflict broke out, should we as citizens of the United States of America be able to bear arms. I say yes, even though if you weren't able to own a gun and most likely a large decrease of murders will happen, it says in our Constitution that we have the right to bear arms and the Constitution isn't a living document there for it shan't be changed. Thomas Jefferson said that if our government tried to change the Constitution then we should rebel away from the government.
