IMO, people should be given the choice whether whey want to own a fire-arm or not. In places like Texas, where home invasions are very common, the possession of a fire-arm can save many lives. However, the government should make it impossible for people with a criminal record, and those with mental issues from obtaining fire-arms.
It would be beneficial if gun control will be implemented to everyone. For the government to be able to monitor all gun owner on the use of guns. It will be also helpful on tracing whoever illegally used them. It can also lessen crime.
