I believe that the evidence that guns are a valuable means of self-defense is very strong. At the same time, it cannot be denied that keeping a gun is not ethical for all. Actually, in different countries, there are different laws regarding guns. The main reasons behind these laws are: the people are seen to use guns without a proper license. Another reason behind this is the users who are keeping guns, they are prone to commit a crime, it is proven that the people who keep guns consider themselves as very powerful. Those who keep gun, think that they can achieve anything by keeping anyone in gunpoint (Dant, 2018). Another problem is that people who have a gun take the unfair advantage of the gun. Whenever they cannot achieve anything, they prefer to show their gun and threat the person on the opposite side.
