Gun owners usually state the
reasons as self defense, target shooting or hunting but, owning a gun can bring
about many terrifying consequences. To whomever I ask if they met someone been harmed by firearms, usually they state that they met. This means each of us have the
possibility of being a victim. In order to be prevented from these problematic consequences, some precautions must be taken. I won't claim that firearms should totally be
banned. Surely, guns are needed for military, police and some security stuff.
But I think, gun legislations should be very restrictive. The only limit for
taking a gun license mustn't be the age.
So as to provide a strong view, the term gun control has to be understood exactly. Can it be physical control of guns? Or maybe never missing the aim? None of them
actually. The term 'gun
control' refers to the all efforts to restrict or limit the possession,
production, importation, shipment, sale, and use of guns by private citizens. The
gun control issue is a highly contentious one. Many issues can be discussed under the title
gun control. The most common arguments can be ordered as domestic violence, self defense, civil rights, civil duty, armed forces' reserves and resisting tyranny. But instead of arguing each of
these points , I prefer to look some facts and data.




As you may
already know in 2011 Turkey has tried to change its gun legislation and if the legislations had been approved, ones who
are over 21, could own up to 5 guns. How logical is it right? Also, I don't think Turkey's policies about illegal gun
trading are sufficient and the age limit for handling a gun must be between
24-27. Lastly, I yokels has to be mentioned about. Yokel briefly can be defined as the person who uses guns to
celebrate a moment such as a wedding ceremony or a soccer victory. Too many
citizens have been injured or killed in Turkey by them for years. If we couldn't change these laws they will
continue threatening our life.
Consequently, all of the problematic issues as suicides, homicides, yokel terror and the crime including any type of a firearm could only be intercepted provided that we have harsh gun control legislations. A composure society can only be created by leaving all commercial profits which forms the main reason of avoiding these type of laws.
Have any of your family members or your friends been injured or killed by firearms?
Do you agree with the idea that guns are needed for self defense?
Handguns are the cause of most of our gun-related problems. Banning them will greatly reduce the number of people dying each year. Do you agree?
Turkey has been named as ''contraband gun heaven'' for years. Just in 2010, thousands of contraband guns have been acquired which has more than 800 foreign sources. Do you think Turkey's gun policies are enough to stop illegal gun trading?
Homicide rates can be decreased by restrictive gun ownership legislations. Do you agree?
Suicide rates can be decreased by restrictive gun ownership legislations. Do you agree?
Accidental/Unconventional death rates can be decreased by restrictive gun ownership legislations. Do you agree?
