Gun Control

   Gun control is very important in Canada because with loose gun laws people could easily obtain guns to cause harm to others. Canada's gun law should stay the same because it keeps criminals from acquiring guns legally, still allows sport shooters to acquire them and lastly prevents harm to others. Canada has a long process on how to register for a gun, they do a background check on you and make you wait a few months. Also you must take a gun course before you then can get your license. People with criminal records cannot purchase a firearm legally nor can they apply for a license. Secondly people who hunt or do sport shooting will still be able to get guns just for the sport or hunting, this allows some people who participate in this hobby to continue their experience. Lastly good gun control in Canada will get more guns off the street so there is less gun violence on the street. This will prevent and save many lives from death. As of year 2000 Canada had 1 million handguns while the United states had a enormous amount of 77 million that year alone. In conclusion gun control is very important to Canada because it keeps criminals from getting weapons, allows some loose exception for hobbyist in that sector and lastly prevents and saves lives of Canadians.
