Shootings have been on a steep rise in some countries
where arms laws are weak and people usually keep guns at home. I strongly agree that people who keep guns in household are more prone to get involved in unfortunate incidents related to the shootings for many reasons.
Firstly, it is intuitively obvious that having a gun in a
household endangers children and teenagers. This is because minors do not have the requisite knowledge or maturity to handle guns safely. Therefore it is incontrovertible that household guns lead to additional shootings.
Secondly, household guns became especially dangerous
when spouses have violent arguments. This is because male sexual rage, in particular, often results in deadly aggression. For example, The International Crime Bureau recently produced statistical evidence that – if there is a household gun – a man is twice as likely (if he discovers his wife having an affair) to kill her in a fit of jealous rage. Therefore, once again, household guns correlate positively with additional shootings.
On the other hand, male face sometime violent
arguments at his house with their spouse, therefore they believe that gun is important at home to protect his honor and reputation. Moreover, cultures oblige people to hold guns especially in poor areas, where drug dealers and human traffickers take advantage in such places. For example, due to jealousy on his wife, man can kill her without thinking twice if there is a household gun.
In conclusion, there is undeniable evidence that having a
gun in a house leads to further shootings. Given the strength of this evidence, in the future, more legislature needs to be put in place to limit private gun ownership.
