WHAT IS GUN CONTROL?

Gun control, or firearms regulation, is the set of laws or policies that regulate the
manufacture, sale, transfer, possession, modification, or use of firearms by civilians.
IS EASY TO GET A GUN LICENSE?
Surprisingly, is not that difficult to get a gun in the USA. Required information includes: name,
address, place of birth, race and citizenship. A social security number is only "optional,"
though it's recommended. The form also asks questions such as:

*Have you ever been convicted of a felony?

*Have you ever been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence?
*Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any other depressant, stimulant,
narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
*Are you a fugitive from justice?
*Have you ever been committed to a mental institution?
IS EASY TO GET A GUN LICENSE?

The store then calls the FBI, which runs a background check on the person through the

National Instant Criminal Background Check System, also known as NICS. The

background check can just take minutes.

PROS OF GUN CONTROL

● More gun control laws would reduce gun deaths.

● High-capacity magazines should be banned because they too often turn murder into mass
murder.
● Legally owned guns are frequently stolen and used by criminals.
● More gun control leads to fewer suicides.
● The presence of a gun makes a conflict more likely to become violent.
CONS OF GUN CONTROL?

● Gun control laws infringe upon the right to self-defense and deny people a sense of safety.
● Gun control laws do not deter crime; gun ownership deters crime.
● More gun control is not needed; education about guns and gun safety is needed to prevent
accidental gun deaths.
● Gun control laws would prevent citizens from protecting themselves from foreign invaders.
