3. Will they help or will they hurt?

happening, President Barack Obama

laws will encourage criminals to
commit more crimes, or keep us safer
from them.

• Assault rifle ban
• No magazines bigger
than ten rounds
• Strict background
checks

5. How can they help us?
• Criminals can no longer
obtain an assault rifles,
large clips, or any guns
for that matter.
• Can take criminals off
the street easier

6. Will we be defenseless?

Although we might not
Have assault rifles either,
we can still have guns that
pertain to the gun laws.

strongly for the bill saying "These guns are not
designed for sport or home defense,"
Bloomberg said. "They are designed to kill
large numbers of people quickly”.

9. How can we be at a disadvantage?
• Criminals can illegally buy
guns off black market
• They will not obey the laws
• Criminals will have gun
that they have previously
owned

we will not be able to
defend ourselves,
encouraging them to
strike!

intending to do harm,
might now be able to
have a gun either

12. • National
Rifle Association
CEO Wayne LaPierre
says “When it comes to
the issue of background

background checks will
never be ‘universal’ –
because criminals will
never submit to them”

part of the downfall of
this country? Or bring
us back to our former
glory?
