we can clearly compare gun crimes in USA with gun crimes in Canada. Gun buying rules in USA is very less and it is easy to buy gun.
@9FHJBT6 2yrs2Y
Stricter gun control laws in Canada contribute to our country being safer and the government could do even more to prevent violent crime in Canada by also funding social programs in at-risk communities.
@9H4MYZZ1yr1Y
There is a significant juxtaposition in gun violence statistics between countries with stricter restrictions and those with looser ones.
@9H37S5F1yr1Y
Gun crime death rates. In 2019, Canada saw 170 and the U.S. saw 13,001. That should tell you enough.
Guns have created issues regardless of which province one lives in. Being tighter on control and who has accesss to these can only create more saftey.
@9FRK5MR2yrs2Y
You can compare the gun rules of Canada to the USA. It's much easier to purchase a gun in the US which is why they have more
@9FFM5Y52yrs2Y
Mass shootings happen in numerous countries, however, they usually tend to happen in countries with less gun control laws, causing higher levels of gun owners due to the fact the gun control laws are so out of control. The Gun Violence Archive recorded over 600 mass shootings in the United States in 2020. Also, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports that the global average intentional homicide rate in 2019 was about 6.1 per 100,000 population. With more gun control laws, these numbers would most likely drop drastically.
@9F7M3WJ2yrs2Y
There are a lot of resources providing data about gun shots per year. If you feel interesting, you always can go to check.
@B3DRJB32mos2MO
No one wants to die at any given time, you can be walking down the street and because someone doesn't like you, your gone, you can be trying to protect your family from getting robbed and you'd die, things like that should not be happening anywhere.
For example, with guns being legal and accessible in the States, we see that their gun-related crime rates are significantly higher, putting the general public at constant risk.
@B38Z37M2mos2MO
you can’t runaway from that decision to take another persons life which in some states can be for things as small as pulling into the wrong driveway in the south.
@B2FYGHS3mos3MO
gun violence has a significant economic cost, including healthcare expenses, law enforcement, and lost productivity. Reducing gun violence through effective gun control can alleviate these financial burdens on society
@9TG93X67mos7MO
Regardless of rules and regulations placed there are multiple reasons why a gun would be needed and would be considered safe rather than restricted
@9LTS8SG12mos12MO
Gun violence remains a significant public health and safety issue globally, with devastating consequences for individuals, families, and communities. In the United States, for example, firearms are a leading cause of death, with over 38,000 gun-related fatalities reported in 2019 alone. This includes homicides, suicides, and unintentional shootings. Stricter gun control measures, such as universal background checks, restrictions on high-capacity magazines, and red flag laws, have been shown to correlate with lower rates of gun violence and fatalities. By implementing sensible gun control policies, we can help prevent tragedies, save lives, and p
If you have to walk in fear of dying to someone with a gun that’s shows why guns shouldn’t be allowed.
Stricter gun control measures, supported by data and public opinion, have been shown to reduce gun violence, prevent mass shootings, and protect public safety without infringing on the rights of responsible gun owners. International comparisons highlight the effectiveness of such measures in countries with comprehensive firearm regulations.
@9JXF34Z1yr1Y
Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. Another 32 are shot and injured.
Guns are the leading cause of death among American children and teens. 1 out of 10 gun deaths are age 19 or younger
in 2022, 34 students and adults died while more than 43,000 children were exposed to gunfire at school
There should be restrictions because nobody who isn’t in need of gun should have one and no one with malicious intent should be able to just buy one
@9GTNSCS1yr1Y
Observing a real world example, The US has a higher crime rate percentage of crimes related to gun violence compared to Canada's crime rate due to its stricter Gun Laws. The US makes it very easy to purchase death-causing weapons, therefore having a higher crime rate related to gun violence which can be avoided by entirely banning the selling of guns commercially.
@9QQ74FV10mos10MO
The reason why guns are so dangerous is because of the person that uses them. Those who choose to use them for harmful purposes are those who want less restrictions on gun control.
@9LSRPPT12mos12MO
in 2021 48,000 people died from gun related injurys in the United States. 106 people die 39 murdered 64 kill themselves and 1 is killed unintentionally everyday. in the world more than 250,000 die from gun violence per year.
@9H7ZR6H1yr1Y
its a lot easier to purchase a gun in the USA and its caused many problems in the country, we should keep our rules and put safety first. too many school shootings and dangers
@9H23R6Z1yr1Y
The estimated number of deaths in America from gun related violence that wasn't suicide was 20,138. While we have stricter control in Canada, it should still not fall to the level of America
@9FTRJ8N2yrs2Y
I think that the best counter argument to the yes position is that sometimes people need a form of self-defense or for hunting purposes.
@9LNHF9712mos12MO
I think if canada make it where u have gun control I feel like it's ok there will probably be a little more crims but there is already a lot of people with guns so I still think they have to fix this self defense thing tho .
@9LQPV4V 12mos12MO
Governments should be very strict about their gun policies. People aren't trustworthy. Giving more people guns will cause the death rate to go up.
we can clearly compare gun crimes in USA with gun crimes in Canada. Gun buying rules in USA is very less and it is easy to buy gun
@9GNKHMZ1yr1Y
So many school shootings, and any shootings. Lives are being lost and threatened almost every day because of gun violence.
@9GHHJFF1yr1Y
If the use of gun is strictly prohibited, that can prevent many tragic events occurring like they do in the United States like their many monthly school shootings they have because of the lack of gun control
@9GGSFGV1yr1Y
Question them more see if they were in jail and for what if anyone is from jail and wanted a gun once they left jail there should be at least 15 years before they can get a gun again

There have been more than 470 mass shootings across the US so far this year, this is why we need to act now for Gun Control
@9G4WGVQ2yrs2Y
Gun Control measures have shown to be effective in reducing gun related deaths and promoting public safety. Studies found that countries with stricter gun control laws have lower rates of gun violence.
