What are the two sides of gun control?

Answer 1

If you are referring to total gun control, here are some points of views.

Pro: -You can have young teenagers/madmen/adults killing people without thinking through, and let their anger control them.

-Police have to obtain the best guns money can buy to outgun criminals

-Risk of domestic accidents from misfires

Cons:

-As guns are only instruments of killing, it is not the sole instrument. Without guns, people will still find a way to produce guns and ammunition, or use a more painful approach to killing, like knives.

-Without guns, neighborhood lacks the deterrent to make criminals think twice before commitment

-If gun control were to set in, only two groups of people are armed, the government and the criminals/terrorists. The civilians are free to be held at gunpoint.

Guns don't solve all our problems, neither does violence, but the threat of violence again violence is enough to weed out potential threats, at the cost of civilian and the lives of law enforcement.
