To say "yes" to gun control makes you feel more secure. Knowing that people can carry guns as they wish, or knowing that people can not carry guns as they think, and guns have strict rules and regulations. I choose the second choice. There are gun crime and murder of the highest rank in the United States. If you delete the option that people can have a gun, gun related events may decrease. Yes, you can still get a gun from place, but it will also limit the list of people with guns.
Yes, private guns are often involved in suicide. Yes, the gun control policy seems to have reduced the spread of gun suicide. However, gun control does not affect the number of suicides and the number of offenders. If the gun becomes unusable, the research knows that the person trying to hurt himself finds something else, like the way to kill her. More gun control did not reduce these numbers. Favorite statistics for those who support gun control is that when a person takes a gun at home it is 43 times more likely that he or she will shoot a family member than an intruder. Statistics were based on research conducted in Seattle in 1986. Shooting the family included gun murders, suicide and deadly accidents and compared it with a reasonable murder case determined by the courtroom.
The one shot that Congress took action this week was a silencer. Yes, we know that we need to be accurate. They are called inhibitors. Since "fundamental Muslim terrorism" is doing a good job in fighting terrorism, we need to correct the terminology - it brings the same magical effect to gun control discussion. The Congressional leader is not the silence of consumers, but oppression of the gun security dispute. They are suppressing the conversation up to the "correct time" on 11th June, 1957.
