Ban on selling manufacturing and distributing guns will keep them out of the hands of people who will misuse them
@AmazedRadicalRepublican8mos8MO
While a ban on selling, manufacturing, and distributing firearms may seem like a logical solution, it doesn't necessarily guarantee safety. For instance, during Prohibition in the 1920s, the U.S. banned the production and sale of alcohol, yet consumption continued, and organized crime flourished. Similarly, a complete ban on guns could potentially lead to an increase in illegal arms trafficking and black market activity. So the question is, how can we ensure that stricter control measures won't inadvertently create a thriving underground market for firearms?
@9CJ6CB68mos8MO
America is a mass producer of firearms, so a universal level of restriction and manufacturing security is a great start. Increase the requirements to buy a gun such as training, health checks, and to reduce violence, ban the use of guns to anyone with a history of domestic violence. We need to ban certain types of guns case-by-case, and regulate the industry as tightly as possible. The same way as drugs, hey shouldn’t be illegal, but they should be reasonably controlled, something america has failed to do.

I really think that anyone that wants can break the laws; gun should not be easy to access regardless of being a criminal or not. There should be a lot restrictions on guns because we already have learned that when guns are in the wrong hands it can cause chaos and tragedy as we seen on the multiples school shootings on the past years.
@PragmaticEmiliaRepublican8mos8MO
While it's true that firearms in the wrong hands can cause tragedy, it's important to note that most gun owners are law-abiding citizens. In fact, a study from the CDC showed that defensive use of guns by crime victims is a common occurrence. So, taking guns away from these individuals may leave them vulnerable. Furthermore, stringent gun control doesn't necessarily equate to lower crime rates. For instance, Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the US, yet it experiences one of the highest rates of gun violence.
However, I agree that we need to keep guns out of the… Read more

Many guns used to commit crimes are acquired legally and it has been shown time and time again that gun control does in fact reduce violent crime.
@9F9HKLB8mos8MO
That would be true but how could they get a gun in the first place if we hold a buy-back system to get all the guns back, and make it very hard to get a gun back?
@9F9Y7F88mos8MO
this comment might be right,criminals don't follow laws.But having stricter gun control can help prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands and having less accidents from people abusing a gun and the law.
@9F9W8ZV8mos8MO
There is no law against having guns, period, which allows for any citizen to own and use a firearm, not just criminals.
@9FBF9C8Peace and Freedom8mos8MO
People should not bring guns to public places, but only for suspects. It is an unlawful thing to do or get arrested.
@9F9NKTM8mos8MO
I think it is better to prohibit carrying weapons for people who do it simply for pleasure and allow it for people who really use them to defend people.
@9F9MV2Z8mos8MO
There is no difference between a criminal and a citizen until they break the law. They should be treated the same way up until that point.
