Introduction As we all know, guns have been around for a long time. Guns have evolved over time and so has illegal gun activity. Today more and more people are getting a hold of guns and doing dangerous things with them. Many of our presidents have created gun laws to make the U.S. safer. While the laws have decreased the crime rate, people are still committing gun crimes. So my question is why don’t gun laws control gun crimes? Gun crime rates have been increasing every year because gun laws don’t control gun crimes. In this paper, I will talk about gun crimes, crime rates, and laws created for guns and why they don’t control gun crimes. In 2015, there were almost 400 mass shootings, killing 475 people and wounding 1,870. Also, in the same year, there were 64 school shootings. The topic I will be covering is: why gun laws don’t control gun crimes and how gun crimes are getting worse. Why aren’t gun laws useful?
