New Gun Fashion is BAD

I read an article called New Fashion Wrinkle: Stylishy Hiding the Gun. The article is about how clothing companies are now making clothes with compartments to put your gun at. The article also talks about the rise in people who now own guns and how companies make more clothes because of the rise in poeple who own guns. A clothing company called Woolrich has added a second pocket behind the regular front pocket for people to carry a weapon. They even have a stretchable waist band for people who want to carry their gun in a holster and put it inside. The back pockets help hide accessories like a knife or a flashlight.
State laws about guns have been the cause of more people owning guns. It has gone up from five million to seven million people owning guns within the last year. Gun experts say that the number of people with concealed-carry permits have risen because of a changing political and economic climate. 
I think gun laws are too loose. I think guns should only be for police officers and security guards. If people make clothing that lets you have guns then that is just making it seem like it is okay to own a gun. I know guns are suppose to be used for protection but really they haven't been used for that. This new fashion trend is not a good one. It is just a huge statement saying "Look, I have a pocket for a gun. Go get a gun to fit in the pocket".
