Individuals should not be allowed to carry guns as it increases crime and violence in society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

When it comes to

gun

ownership, many nations have been pretty flexible. To some extent, I agree that there are some undeniable benefits of owning firearms.

However

, I firmly believe that its drawbacks outweigh the benefits, and

therefore

, possessing guns should be prohibited. There are various reasons why people nowadays believe that carrying

such

a weapon would present them with a better life.

Firstly

, there are certain circumstances when citizens cannot defend themselves against threats

such

as being under attack by dangerous criminals or being lost in the jungle

that is

full of wild animals. Those are the time when they are all alone and need to stick up for themselves, and by having a firearm by their side, it will make them feel safer.

Secondly

, if access to guns is forbidden, individuals' right to enjoy activities

such

as hunting or firearms collecting would be violated.

On the other hand

, I believe that providing people with access to

could potentially lead to undesirable consequences. The

first

reason is that the existence of firearms in the house might threaten the safety of family members.

For instance

, a child might think the

gun

is a piece of toy, and unintentionally shot herself. Another reason is that

ituations, the government has underestimated the danger when those weapons are given to the hands of criminals or even worse – terrorists. Up until September 2019, in the USA alone, a whopping 334 mass shootings have occurred, causing hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries for many innocent citizens, reminding us once again about the negative outcome of

gun

ownership. In conclusion, despite the advantages of carrying a

in each society, I would argue that the detrimental effects of it should not be neglected, and the authorities should ban
