Description
Although many people try to justify gun ownership under the pretext of self-defense, stating that it is a constitutional right, a way to protect oneself from criminal threats, and a way to close the safety gap left by the lack of security enforcers, such justifications are bound to fail. In my research paper, I will speak about the "right to possess guns" as a relative concept. It is also subject to change because possessing a gun encourages criminal behavior and increase the likelihood that safety would prevail.
