Gun Control

Gun control refers to laws or policies that regulate the manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians. The debate over gun control centers on the balance between individual rights to own and carry firearms and public safety concerns, including reducing rates of gun violence, suicide, and mass shootings. Supporters of gun control argue that stricter laws and regulations can help reduce the number of deaths and injuries caused by firearms, while opponents argue that such measures infringe on the rights of law-abiding citizens and may not be effective in reducing crime.
