Should there be stricter gun control laws?
Stricter gun control laws or no? That is a question that is frequently asked these days due to the increasing number of public shootings on college and school campuses, as well as, other public places around the world. Personally, I feel that the world would be much safer if stricter gun control laws were enforced.
First of all, stricter gun control laws are needed to limit the number of guns that an individual is able to purchase.
In doing so, there would be less resale to people who should not or cannot purchase them. This would help reduce the amount of violent crime committed on a daily basis.
Second, if someone is going to have a gun, they need to be required to have a gun license. Once again, this would limit the ability for just anyone to have a gun.
Also, stricter gun control laws need to be enforced in order to reduce the national suicide rate.
In closing, I know that by doing these things, it will not eliminate all crime, suicides, and shootings. However, it will reduce the amount of, and limit the ability, for these things to happen. The world would truly be a safer place with stricter gun control laws.
