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?

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.
