Gun ownership is a hot-button topic these days.

Not a day goes by that there isn’t a story in the news about crimes and deaths involving a gun. Many of those stories are often woven through with reports of governments trying to push through more gun control legislation.

There are some very strong opinions in America, when it comes to gun control and ownership rights, but not all of them are based on facts.

People on both sides of the issue need to be better informed about all of the facts that concern gun crime and ownership in the United States before mounting those soap boxes to give their opinions.
