Content: Pros of Gun Control
Let’s take a look at some arguments that favor gun control and their rationale in terms of the surplus weapons in the United States. The Self Defense Argument
One often hears anti-gun-control activists argue that if guns were banned or severely regulated, only the criminals would have access to them and law-abiding citizens would be helpless. This is the eye-for-an-eye logic. America already has more guns than it has people. Has this resulted in the lowering of gun crime? The answer is an emphatic no. Criminals will find ways to obtain illegal firearms, like they do in every country. Regulating guns will at least prevent their access from homes and businesses. In fact, if both parties have guns, it will most definitely result in a firefight and unnecessary bloodshed. However, the problem may be the guns themselves and their proliferation in the American way of life.
