Arguing that gun control measures only impact criminals and the mentally ill overlooks the broader societal benefits and preventive aspects of such regulations. While it's true that these measures primarily target specific groups, they also serve to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands in the first place. By implementing comprehensive background checks, waiting periods, and red flag laws, we can reduce the risk of gun-related crimes, accidents, and suicides, benefiting entire communities. Gun control isn't solely about addressing individual behaviour but also about promoting community safety and responsible gun ownership.
