All About Gun Control

Gun control is ineffective and the whole idea of gun control should be abandoned. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary gun control is defined as the regulation of owning and selling guns. Guns can be for a variety of things, from hunting to self defense, and obviously, the most important use is self defense. As I will show several time, more guns equates to less crime, and less guns equates to more crimes.

According to the nation-master website and the world atlas website both Japan and the United Kingdom have extremely high rates of gun control. However, both countries, despite having relatively small populations, have very high crime rates. However, countries such as Finland and Japan have low crime rates, despite having a high rate of gun ownership. This shows that guns deter crime. However, in the case of an attempted crime, guns prevent it from happening by either, having to pull the trigger on someone, or by scaring the criminal away. So, if we were to have gun control, crimes would increase and law abiding citizens could be left defenseless.
