Give a thesis statement for gun control

A good thesis for a paper on gun control would be: "Gun laws are the cause of much of the violent crime in the United States and need to be changed in order to make it easier for Americans to purchase handguns, carry them as concealed weapons and protect themselves." For those people with the opposite approach to gun control, a good thesis for the paper would be: "Gun laws are the cause of much violent crime in America and need to be changed so that it is difficult to obtain guns and a person owning an illegal firearm will find himself with a stiff prison sentence even as a first-time offender."

I believe gun control should not happen. Most people have guns to protect them selves.

I believe gun control is important. People with guns could hurt other people. Another reason why we should have gun control is what happens when a child gets hold of that gun he could cause themselves or other people around them harm
