Say Yes to Gun ControlWhat would make you feel safer? Walking the streets knowing that people can carry guns voluntarily or knowing that people cannot carry guns voluntarily and that there are strict rules and regulations regarding gun ownership? I would opt for the second option. America has some of the highest-rated gun-related crimes and homicides. If you remove the ability for people to own guns, there may be fewer gun-related incidents. Yes, you can still get guns, but this will also limit the list of armed people. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. It takes action and movement to pull that trigger. It takes even more action to pick up and hold that gun and point it at someone. In conclusion, I support gun control, gun control laws can reduce crime, reduce deaths, and most importantly keep children safe. First, America has some of the poorest and weakest gun control laws and regulations. That being said, countries like England and Japan have the strictest gun control laws. They also have the lowest rate of gun-related homicides (Ballaro 2). In some parts of Japan, even there, the police don't carry guns. If Japan can enforce its laws without guns, why can't we? America has a gun-related murder rate of 3.42, which is also 100% higher than Japan and England (Ballaro 2). Based on the historical experience of the American western frontier, the more weapons you have available to the people, the more deaths and shootings there will be. In 1997, Britain passed a law requiring all civilians to surrender all privately owned handguns to the police (Agresti and Reid 2). “Experts estimate that about a third of all American households own firearms and that the total number of firearms in circulation in the middle of a paper is not necessary for hunting and killing animals. Replacing bullets with tranquilizer darts can be just as effective. Therefore, there are many laws that can work for both those who are for and against gun control. Compliance with these laws can reduce deaths and crimes. In conclusion, gun control is something America needs to work on. We have some of the worst homicides and gun-related crimes compared to the rest of the world. Gun control can protect and save the lives of many children. Stricter laws and regulations can reduce gun-related crimes and deaths. The facts and figures have been increasing over the past two years and at this rate the situation will not diminish or improve. Stricter gun control may not end gun violence everywhere, but it is a start in reducing it as much as possible. Additionally, some gun control laws may be simple and compromise with those opposing gun control..
