The topic of gun control has resulted in the divergence of opinions due to its controversial nature as far as security is concerned. Federal has presented a clear procedure for acquiring guns as well as the laws that dictate who should be owning a gun and at what conditions. However, the increase in crime cases reveals and present another dark side of the story of illegal gun ownership and illegal firearm business. This is essay aims to present credible and persuasive ideas that focus on how and why gun control is necessary and relevant. Death cases resulting from shooting from unauthorized persons have rented the economic, political, and social life especially in the 21st century (Gunn, et al 2018). Nevertheless, gun control is not a new topic in our society, it is as old as the origin of the crimes. Therefore the laws should take its course to fully govern and take control of this issue to create peaceful environment that supports all sorts of development.
Gun control
Guns are the only weapons that will dictate and guarantee a crime; however, there a great connection between owning a gun and criminal cases, especially in this age of technology (Gunn, et al 2018). The main agenda that comes into mind when this topic and gun control is brought for discussion is reducing criminal homicides. The lethalness and dangerousness of guns makes it so easy to indulge in criminal activities. A study conducted by Kleck, et al 2016 reported that there are high rates of crimes that are recoded as a result of illegal gun ownership in the United States. The connection between the illegal and private gun ownership and high rates of homicide crimes in the United States has a significant impact. Private gun ownership contributes to these crime cases. Therefore, the relationship between uncontrolled gun ownership and crime cases, especially homicides, is strong and confirmed. Therefore, it remains the federal government’s responsibility to ensure all the guns owned by an individual are licensed and that they have acquired through approved means (Kleck, et al. 216). This is a sensitive responsibility that will ensure and secure our nation’s future and creates a conducive environment for economic growth, among other developmental agendas. The provision given by the government of the United States suggests that gun ownership to people below the age of 21 years old, through this ownership, can be controlled, and as an avenue for other illegal businesses, the world can be safe. Gun control can extend to the management and overseeing the selling of guns. The law’s provision requires that persons under the age of 18 years old can not engage in such business whatsoever.
Availability of guns can facilitate and enhance the level of aggression that can later corrupt people’s psychological minds; this can induce a feeling and a stronger urge to participate in crime (Kleck et al, 2016). Cases of terrorism have been increasing day by day. The main catalyst is the acquisition of the illegal fire arm. The world is nursing wounds that were brought by robbers, terrorists, and other criminal acts. All these can be controlled and eliminated from our society when we embrace good legal strategies to ensure that gun ownership is according to the law. Everyone who owns guns feels some exaggerated form of confidence that later induces a higher probability of starting a crime such as robbery with violence and kidnappings. The weak might look stronger when they are in a gun position, and the docile will look confidence when in position of a gun. Such feelings are some the top psychological and behavioral factors the will automatically lead to misuse of a fire arm.
The rate of drug and substance dealing is rising in a society where majority owns unauthorized guns (Reick, 2020). The confidence that allows such businesses to thrive in our society is a threat to the future in our country. The operators and participants of these acts, base their illegality and confidence on the illegally acquired guns. This calls for the responsible institutions to help secure the future of our country to improve the supremacy of the federal law and other supporting regulations. The brutality that accompanies guns’ illegal acquisition is projected to go high if no action is taken to control this menace that eats our society gradually.
When there is a high rate of crimes as a result of illegal possession of guns, there is a high possibility of interfering with human rights and freedom. A simple crime like threats can result in a more complicated like murder, and this directly interferes with the freedom of expression and the right to good life away from threats. The main focus the essay logical present importance of gun control and at the same time exposes the effects and danger that awaits people when guns are not controlled. It’s not all about doing away with guns, but controlling gun ownership and illegalizing all acquisition processes. Inasmuch there is no significant relationship between gun ownership and crime rates, there is a possibility of contradiction, which is why the illustration and preparation are paramount.
Conclusion.
The defensive department and security department of every nation requires powerful and modern weapons; these include guns. The government through judicial mandate and responsibility has a perfect and confirmed procedure for acquiring guns. Therefore, guns are crucial and relevant as far as a country’s internal and external security is concerned. However, illegal possession of guns is the threat that shakes citizens’ economic power, political agenda, and social freedom. It’s logical reasoning that when someone decided to acquire a gun through dubious means that are not allowed by the law, there must be a negative motive and intention behind such business. And this is the threat that this essay to trying to expose. Robbery with violence, terrorism, rape, and violation of human rights, among other crime case scenes, will be common in our society when guns are not controlled properly. Consequently, this calls for strictness and total control of firearms to enhance and promote our country’s safety. Focused and legal business of firearms will ensure centralized economic growth and expansion of the market; this is good news for the revenue department.
