Why is gun control bad in the united states?

here you go to read

Explanation:

The United States has 120.5 guns per 100 people, or about 393,347,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns (35% of men and 12% of women). America’s pervasive gun culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which states: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Proponents of more gun control laws state that the Second Amendment was intended for militias; that gun violence would be reduced; that gun restrictions have always existed; and that a majority of Americans, including gun owners, support new gun restrictions.

Opponents say that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own guns; that guns are needed for self-defense from threats ranging from local criminals to foreign invaders; and that gun ownership deters crime rather than causes more crime.

Is this actually for a homework assignment? This is a pretty loaded question to ask somebody.

You can say gun control is bad because it contradicts the Second Amendment, not to infringe on our right to bear arms. You could say it's bad because it doesn't actually work. If you outlaw guns, the only people with guns will be outlaws, and that puts us all at risk.
