Three Reasons to Strict Gun Control

Gun control should be changed more strict in the U.S. Some said, to own a gun is the right to save myself. However, to accept the possession of guns has three problems: a lot of people killed every years by guns, costs of preventing massacre are baneful effect for economy, and guns make a harmful influence on education for children. Therefore, gun control is the most effective solution to solve these problems.

One reason of them is that guns killed many people in the U.S. Normally, schools are safe and learning place for students. However, on Feb. 14, 2018, 17 young people killed by a former student at their school with a semi-automatic rifle. Also firearms involved in the deaths of more than 30,000 people in the U.S. annually, about two-thirds of which are suicides. Furthermore, the U.S. has a higher per-person rate of murders committed with firearms than any other country.

Second of all, guns are adverse effect for the U.S. economy. The well-funded NRA argue that regulations of buying guns only hurt law-abiding gun owners. However, an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine mentioned about the level of gun violence in the U.S. amounts to a public health crisis. According to the magazine Mother Jones, it costs the U.S. $229 billion each year. This cost is too big to ignore.

Finally, guns make a harmful influence on education for children. For example, gun violence news inflict heavy fear to children, and it makes that some students imitate mass shooting. For recovering these problems, teachers should instruct children how to save own body at school. And it rob the time to learn more important subjects.

Overall, we should change gun control more strict to keep safe, to save economy, and to protect children from deleterious information. We can control gun-related issues by restricting laws. According to ​The Atlantic Daily​, Australia passed strict gun ownership laws after a massacre left 35 people dead in 1996. Since then, there have been no mass shootings, and the firearms murder and suicide rates have plummeted. Mass shooting rate is correlated with the population of gun owners. Thus, reducing massacre rate by restricting laws of guns is possible. The time is now to develop the perfect world without guns.
