Gun violence would decrease if there were stricter gun laws. Guns were built to kill, whether or not they were intended to kill people is the question. Countries with more gun restrictions are proven to have fewer gun-related crimes, so that would be the case here as well. “States with more gun laws have fewer gun-related deaths” (Alcindor). Gun violence would decrease because states with more gun laws have fewer gun deaths, gun laws place restrictions on access to guns, and people are more likely to kill someone if they have a gun. It has been stated repeatedly that states with more gun laws will decline. gun laws provide for fewer gun-related crimes. This makes sense, because it seems that if you limit the number of guns that get into people's hands, people are less likely to hurt other people with guns they don't have. What weapons would people have access to if they didn't have access to them? A study was conducted in states with the most gun laws based on the number of people who died from firearms. "In the dozen states with the most gun control laws, far fewer people were shot or committed suicide with a gun than in states with the fewest laws. According to the study, overall, states with the most laws had a 42 percent lower gun death rate than states with the fewest laws” (Wintemute). if we were to have stricter gun laws it would limit the number of gun related crimes One of the things that seems to be added to every state's gun laws is extensive vetting. background This seems very important in limiting gun violence because you limit the number of people who can have access to guns. With limited access to crazy people or criminals, you leave guns in the hands of "good" citizens. are... middle of paper ... the problem, folks, is the guns. Without guns, the loners who attacked schools and shopping malls might have gotten out of control, but they couldn't have gone on shooting sprees" (Kuttner). This shows that without guns, you couldn't Knowing that gun violence has decreased due to gun laws, obviously there would be less gun violence After knowing that states with more gun laws have less gun violence, laws. on guns place restrictions on who has access to guns, and people are more likely to kill if they have a gun, you can assume that gun violence would decrease There have been studies after. studies proving that with more gun laws there will be less gun violence, sure, there still will be, but it's decreased by 42% in one study. army has declined elsewhere, so I think that would be the case here too..
