As a miasmic environment threatens to envelop, and ultimately, suffocate the world, bullets and bandages have never been more in demand. A myriad of mirrages have shrouded our eyes making us blind to the obvious. Whether gun control laws should be increased or decreased is one of the most pertinent question asked due to today’s scenario. People don’t think twice and hire mafias and rowdies just to make sure that no one intrude into their illegal businesses. They don’t have any idea of what collateral damage they are doing to the world.

Gun control laws in India:-

Countries like India have one of the most strictest gun control laws in the world. Getting a gun license in India is one of the difficult tasks which could take years. Now, in the most ambitious restructuring of arms rules in more than five decades, the government has made the laws even more tougher. Prospective gun owners will have to show they have been trained, and they must carry their firearms only in holders and secure them in a “knocked down” condition in gun lockers at home.

Well, above were the tactics when the gun owners follow the rules. But, now also there are many whose business is the smuggling of weapons and they are not frightened of the repercussions, whoever comes in their way is killed. These are the things which will not end . Whether more laws are made or not, if actions against these are not taken than collateral damage will proceed to a much greater extent.

Gun control laws in US:-

The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA) , which regulates firearms at federal level, requires that citizens and legal residents must be at least 18 years of age to purchase shortguns or rifles and ammunition. All other firearms- handguns for example- can only be sold to people 21 and older. A 2014 study found that states that required licensing and inspections of gun dealers tended to have lower rates of gun homicides. Another study published the same year, analyzing panel data from all 50 states, found that stricter gun laws may modestly reduce gun deaths.

Gun control laws in Ice Land:-

Ice Land is one of the most gun loving counties in the Northern Atlantic. This country has no such strict gun laws and an amazing thing about this country is that no gun encounters or homicides have been reported from this country. Isn’t it an amazing factor that countries which have strict gun control laws reports maximum number of deaths due to gun encounters and homicides, and those with no such laws reports nothing as such.

Hence, this was the motive of this article to establish a difference amongst those countries with mild, strict and no gun control laws. Therefore, to conclude, there should be a strict action which has to be taken by the authorities instead of making laws, because nothing stops anyone from doing anything wrong. This has to be kept in mind that when damage is being done, and is not stopping, then it is going to increase no matter what.

Yes, people pull the trigger- but guns are the instrument of death. Gun control is necessary, and delay means more death and horror. – Eliot Spitzer
