protection, there are probably two good reasons as to why not. The issue.
of gun control and its relationship to violence continues to attract.
various controversial, stern responses and causes for a heated debate in.
the United States, as well as, the international community. Some believe.
gun control involves restricting the types and number of guns an individual.
can possess at any given time. By doing so, it would significantly put a.
limit on possession of a gun with regards to age, criminal record and other.
factors prevalent in the commission of a crime, armed violence, accidents,.
suicides, etc. in American and abroad.

number of homicides recorded in large cities like Chicago where the city.
recorded and compared gun violence and for the month of January 2013 to the.
city's most notorious crime sprees or eras, which has tarnished Chicago's.
image around the world for over a hundred years (WLS TV, 2013).
Comparatively, the Huffington Post states that the Chicago homicide rate in.
the first month of 2013 is off to its bloodiest start in more than a decade.
(Huffington, 2013). In lieu of such statistics, many concerned citizens or.
anti-gunners believe for our own protection, legislation should be enacted.
that limits the number and the type of guns that can be purchased and owned.
no matter the reason for uses inside or outside of the home.
.
Thus, many pro-gunners, as well as, anti-gunners might ask the.
question whether or not owning a gun could have stopped senseless shooting.
tragedies such as the one in Connecticut might be a different question from.
whether or not it is good idea to allow private individuals to own guns.
(Economist, 2012). However, others believe -- pro-gunners -- that the.
attempt to enact stricter gun control laws that would restrict the number.
