Because of this, it may be in the citizens’ favor to ban or limit the availability and ownership of these sorts of guns. Furthermore, many people want to be able to possess guns in order to protect themselves, however research shows that they are rarely used for self defense.

Since it is very uncommon that victims even use guns for protection, it seems unnecessary that America allows everyone to possess such a dangerous weapon after all the people that have been put in danger because of it. In conclusion, for all the devastation guns have caused, America should have stronger gun control laws as it is very important to think about the lives and safety of the citizens above all
