Gun control laws and violent crime

Write 2 page essay on the topic Gun Control Laws and Violent Crime Rates do not Correlate.Global evidences have long been presented as reason of the statement, “more guns mean more deaths”. Countries like Britain, where gun control laws are implemented, violent crime rates are low. Unluckily, this notion is not true to all countries. In fact, the United State’s crime violence rates intensified throughout 1980s and 1990s. After the undertaken assassination of President Reagan, gun control bill became the agenda of the Congress. Further, Brady Law decrees a period of 72 hours of waiting to buy handguns and the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which bans the production, sale, or ownership of 19 types of semi-automatic weapons. The justification of gun control consists of arguments that ownership or availability of guns is correlated with high violence rates. Thus, gun control laws would be the solution in reducing crimes. This resulted to serious debates.
