Gun Control Conclusion

In America and throughout the world today, gun control is remaining in the conversation for a possible counter to all of the world's gun violence. This still continues to be a raging argument for and against gun control and both sides can make compelling arguments, which may bring many to a conclusion that a moderation between gun control and no gun control is the way to go. However, whatever ends up happening to try and combat gun violence is best off happening sooner than later so incidences can be controlled worldwide. Just the other day in Tel Aviv there was a shooting which left 4 people dead, and a couple of weeks ago there was a shooting at the University of California, Los Angeles which left many wounded. So if we continue to do nothing this will become a regular and being out in public will continue to be increasingly less safe.
