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.

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.

Gun control can positively effect the amount of gun related deaths that happen per year (Accidental or intentional) further bringing them down in comparison to the US.

Regardless of rules and regulations placed there are multiple reasons why a gun would be needed and would be considered safe rather than restricted

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

just last year nearly 350 school shootings occurred in the US alone. maybe some of these were inevitable but many could have been prevented. Canada has a lot fewer cases in comparison and i hope it stays that way.

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.

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

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.

Statistics by PewResearch.org show that suicides accounted for more than half of all U.S gun deaths in 2021. With 53 percent of gun deaths by suicide, 43 percent by murder, and 3 percent from other causes. This statistics just shows how allowing guns and easing gun control would link to more death, especially, suicides for a nation.

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.

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 .

People should not be allowed to use guns for anything other than hunting. They hold too much power to be something that you can just buy.

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
