Gun Control

Gun control is a large controversial topic in The United States, with facts to back up both reasons for raising gun control and not raising gun control. With Obamas trials to strengthen gun control through the years of being in office this has caused a booming growth in the gun industry creating many jobs for the American people. When looking at the gun industry and the constant jobs it’s bringing to America it makes gun control look impossible, since 2008 jobs in the gun industry raised from 166,000 to 288,000, which is a 73% increase, as well as in only 2015 creating 25,000 jobs. “The NSSF estimates that the gun industry currently has a total economic impact of nearly $50 billion. That’s up 158 percent from $19.1 billion in 2008. Wages in the industry rose 126 percent over the same time period. The average industry worker now receives $50,180 between wages and benefits.” “In 2015, the federal government collected $3.7 billion in tax revenue, an increase of 144 percent since 2008. State governments saw nearly double the tax revenue over the same period. Excise taxes are also up 92 percent.” When looking at those numbers of created jobs for people, while protecting our 2^nd amendment and helping our struggling economy heightening gun control should be out of the question.
