Ammunition Depot Releases Informative New Infographic Targeting the Truth About Gun Control

PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Though the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been in effect for nearly 250 years, there is no shortage of political opposition to this foundational piece of legislation. Gun control advocates spend a considerable amount of time trying to undo the 2nd Amendment, all in the name of reducing gun violence and keeping our "streets safer." The problem is, it isn't that simple - and gun control doesn't really work… Just ask concerned citizens of Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore and Washington D.C. - all cities with intensely tight gun control laws. These areas lead the nation in terms of violent gun crime. To help dispel many of the underreported myths about gun control, leading online ammunition and firearms accessories retailer Ammunition Depot released a compelling new infographic that outlines the TRUTH about gun control.

Key learnings from the infographic cover the main problems with gun control, including:

• It is unconstitutional, according to a landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2008 that overturned a law banning Washington, D.C. residents from possessing a handgun.
• The fundamental idea behind restricting gun access for law-abiding people, while not addressing the fact that criminals do not follow the law, is flawed.
• 99 out of 100 mass shootings occur in gun-free zones - indicating that further restricting gun possession in areas like schools, churches and airports may not be a wise move.
• 200,000 women every year use a gun to defend themselves - and states with concealed carry laws see reduced levels of rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
• Approximately 40% of US households have a gun, including 45% of male and 15% of female residents

The notion that gun control is an effective means to lower crime rates is simply not true, and this infographic clearly and effectively demonstrates that restricting the constitutional rights of honest, law-abiding citizens is not the answer.
