Gun Control Pros And Cons

In today 's world, there are so many controversies surrounding the social well being of people and their political lifestyle. Controversy can be referred to serious arguments that relate a certain topic or something. Such issues involve many people and do continue for long periods. The controversies that surround politics and social life can be concerned with control of the guns laws, the rights of abortion, issues surrounding the health care and the problems of immigration. Gun control can be associated with the policies and legislations that are put in place by the state of a given country to monitor the production process of guns. The laws also monitor and control the selling and transfer of weapons, the rate of gun possession, the modification

The first argument for gun control is that the increase in the number of guns will mean an increase in homicides cases. It is an assumption that when people are armed with guns, the cases of killings are likely to reduce in the country (Lott, 2003). On the contrary, the research shows that the weapon ownership increase in the state has gone out of control with the number of homicide cases growing rapidly. Therefore, the best way to ensure safety is to do complete and a lot of check about the person before giving him or her license to own a gun. When the access to guns increase their usage is high especial when the person is angry; this is thus a genuine reason to implement gun control laws (Lott, 2003).
Secondly, more gun ownership means exceptional cases of suicide. The argument on death is based on the lifestyle that people live today full of challenges (Spitzer, 2015). Many people have depressed life, and most of them will contemplate to committee suicide as a way of solving the problem. The gun will probably be used to do this act of suicide. People will feel that it is much simple to kill herself and end life using a gun instead of getting help. States that have more gun ownership experience high suicide

The people who support the strict laws on gun ownership view that it will reduce the crimes of violence (McGinty, et al. 2013). Murder will also reduce. On the contrary, some people support the right to guns but are against the gun control measure. The main reason is that gun control will not only reduce the cases of murder and crime but will also stimulate these cases and make them frequently occur (McGinty, et al. 2013). It 's hard to determine the validity of this argument because the measuring of murder and crime and the effects on controlling guns are hard to calculate. The information that relates to the weapon control and the consequences of gun control are in most cases bias. They are only available to particular people who seek them. The public will only rely on the information presented by the media, which in most cases may not be complete. The people who are not for gun control argue that the firearms are not such big issue; the big problem is the access to guns by the children and the people who do not qualify to own them. These people end up breaking the law by misusing the firearms (McGinty, et al.
