Gun policy is among the most controversial topics in the United States. To many, the answer is to enact more restrictions on legal access to firearms.

Gun violence is a fact of life in the United States and, mass shootings continue to occur with frightening regularity. A majority of adults, including gun owners, support common sense gun control such as background checks, bans on assault weapons, and bans on high-capacity magazines. If everyone is allowed to own a gun, this will lead to an increase in crimes in urban areas because you don’t know genuine firearm owners and those with criminal thoughts. There is a correlation in the number of crime rates and gun possession. Control and reduction of gun licensing reduce homicide rates. In countries where there are gun bans, there are few reported homicides. Gun control will reduce some of the accidents caused by improper handling of the guns. Without the gun, no accidents. Increase in gun ownership has led to increased mass public shootings. According to research by the University of Chicago, restriction to own guns reduces the frequency of mass public shooting. According to 2nd Amendment law, the government gives the right to the “well-regulated” militia to own the firearms thus restricting the number of people who own firearms. Without gun restriction laws, guns are sold to unlicensed residents of the state. Gun control can help to close these loophole. New legal restrictions on owning and purchasing guns tend to be followed by a drop in gun violence - a strong indicator that restricting access to guns can save lives.
