I believe that we should enforce gun control because of the dangers that guns bring into households and neighborhoods. Instead of just handing them out like candy so everyone has one in their closet, we should limit them to those who have a job in which they need one and have been trained to know how to use one.
Letting everyone have a gun is like asking everyone to be a paranoid wreck, knowing that everyone around you probably has a gun concealed on their person.

Less guns would also decrease the suicide rate. And don't say "People who can't kill themselves with guns will look for other means to end their life". On the contrary, researches proove that when you make the act of killing oneself harder for depressive people (putting nests under bridges for example) they surprisingly loose the heart to commit suicide. Maybe they're too lazy ^^? Therefore: less guns, less suicides. And did you know what the majority of death by guns are in the US? Suicide. So what are we waiting for?

Would you mind explaining to me why you feel this way? I'm not here solely for the purpose of changing your mind, I'm just curious.

Gun control makes MORE violence.

If we stop selling guns legally, then the cartels will start selling them. When we began the war on drugs, they became much more powerful because now they could make money off of drugs. The cartels now have more power than the mexican government and we've spent hundreds of billions of dollars against them only for them to be 15x stronger. If we ban guns the cartels will be the ones selling them. You know that that means? There's still guns and now the cartels are even richer.

To reduce gun violence we need more gun owners, more mental institutions, and more care for the insane.

Thank you!

After spending, perhaps too much time, on Youtube, I feel as those I'm the only one with this opinion.

It makes absolutely no sense, the Pro-Gun nuts go on, and on about Mexico, yet they ignore the rest of the world. And, it's interesting, they decide to focus on a country that has been proven to fail to properly ENFORCE gun restriction. And enforcement is the whole purpose of a law in the first place.

So, why don't they focus on what gun control is truly about? Because it proves a legitimate reason to restrict them as it saves LIVES.

My best friend lost her brother because everyone here is so caught up in themselves that they know everything about guns they don't understand children will play with them because adults are so obsessed, it's what they taught. They don't care to lock up guns or teach them right from wrong, so my friend's brother and his friend got into the guns and was playing around...Guess what happened? He got shot in the head. Sure, banning them probably wasn't completely needed, but if people weren't so fucking stupid it wouldn't of happened.

Without guns, the government controls us! Get some history behind your statement.

the government is supposed to control you, that's the point of one in the first place.
