Many people are wondering the efficiency of gun control law. President Obama strongly claim the need of law, but many other people have different view of this debate. Even though they do background check before people try to buy a gun, person who commit the crime is buy firearms through the black market. So It could not be a solutions to decrease the number of firearm crimes. And here is interesting comment from the Donald Trump “Nobody had a gun but the bad guys”. That is what he said about the Paris terror. On his opinion, if the country let people carry the gun, the situation have been different. It sounds like crazy, but as long as the country could not control all of guns include guns from the black market, they should not tighten the law.

United states had enough laws to prevent crime, we don’t need more. It is time to concentrate on values and morals of citizens. Gun don’t kill people itself, people do. Many people have wrong perspectives of guns. Especially on the media. We need to find and fix the fundamental causes. Tighten gun control law is not the solution. Many crimes happen impulsively. Person who has clean background history, but they could commit gun crimes when they drunk or impulsively. How can we decide who can have guns or who can’t? So we need to educate people about guns since they are young. It is better ways to reduce the firearm crimes.

Violent crime goes down when more people legally owned guns. People could defend themselves if they have private guns. Now US citizens had more than 300 million guns. It compares to 1993, 56% increased, but the firearm crimes decreased 49%. The police officers could not save all people. Mostly they come to the place where the crime happen and suspect the case. No one could save our life, but ourselves.
