Along with this fact why should mentally unstable citizens own a gun in the first place. Mentally unstable people should not have the right to own a firearm of any kind. With gun control it could lower the rate of suicide with firearms. According to the
I do not see how just punishing capital crimes is compatible with showing mercy. If Bradley Wilson’s arguments were true people would be speeding and committing other misdemeanors with no punishment. The death penalty is set in place as a deterrent. The average citizen is not going to commit a murder if they know their life will in turn be taken. According

There are alternatives that achieve this aim better than prosecution.” (Child Soldiers, Prosecution, 11). All child soldier, irrespective of their guilt, need to be rehabilitated and reintegrated into society.
An argument that is also commonly used against this part of the Common Sense Gun Laws would be how the federal government has a history of being completely ineffective in previous bans, such as The Drug War, and Alcohol Prohibition. Another part of this proposed plan exclaims, “Citizens need a limit on how many firearms they can own” again, the opposing side counters this by stating how the limit would do nothing but add more restrictions and regulation into the already over-regulated firearm industry. They state that it wouldn 't actually stop these tragic events from happening since the potential shooter would still have access to firearms. The final argument against Common Sense Gun Control attacks the part of the law stating how the “gun show loophole” is a major problem that needs to be solved. The loophole deals with private transactions and the belief that someone, who is under the age enforced by federal law, could go to a gun show or an online seller and create a transaction that is outside of the required minimum age to purchase a firearm.
The governments in most countries are failing to develop not only concrete, but effective methods and measures that will enforce their laws. Fake identifications, local stores, and convenient contacts are enabling the access to alcohol to young adults. These three factors are causing elders to misconstrue. Now, according to the Legal Dictionary, an adult is “a person who by virtue of attaining a certain age, generally eighteen, is regarded in the eyes of the law as being able to manage his or her own affairs.” Yet, the alcohol drinking age in some countries such as the United States of America, portrays just the contrary.

Ed Johnson was arrested and questioned for three hours, but he told Shipp that he didn’t know anything about the rape (Pfeifer, “United”; “Shipp”).

Should the right to bears arms be more restricted? The governments primary role is to protect the right 's of law abiding citizens, so when did restricting those rights become so popular? The school and mass shooting 's that have plagued our country over the recent years have been the result of mentally disturbed criminals. The fundamental problem with gun bans or further restricting gun rights is that it only works on citizens that are already predisposed to obey the law in the first place. Criminals, which by definition have no regard for the law, will not be phased by the governments restrictions with such laws.
