Gun_Control

Gun Control Part One Statistics on an issue such as gun control are not hard to come by. The numbers seem to sway in the favor of gun control being ineffective against the epidemic of gun violence that is facing this nation today. There is evidence to support that many guns used for illegal activities are obtained by illegal means anyway, making laws to restrict the purchase of said guns ineffective at keeping firearms out of criminals hands. Evidence also supports the statements that guns are used in defense more often than not, that the age old statistic that “13” children die each day by guns is inaccurate, and that there are numbers that show the direct relationship between the loosening of gun laws and the lowering of the crime rate. -Crime victims are more than twice as likely to walk away from an assailant unharmed if they use a gun in self defense (source 5) -Women are 2.5 times less likely to be seriously injured if they resist attack with guns than if they do not resist (source3) -Potential victims use guns more than 2 million times a year to stop violent crimes (crimes are stopped by defensive use of guns gun, guns, source, purchase, laws, crime, children, violent, success, go, crimes, certificate, alternative, wishing, way, through, people, out, kosinski, include, control, two, times, said, proposed, possibility, person, part, ownership, own, minor, make, likely, law, fact, ensure
