There are new laws and regulations being made all the time in the United States these days. Politicians think that by making these new laws it will fix their current problems. This is the case right now with the problems they are having with gun control.
These new laws do help and prevent a lot of crimes and accidents from happening. This is mainly because of the fear punishment will bring by getting caught. Thus justifying the increases in punishment that we are seeing in many areas in the justice system today. For the most part these new laws have largely helped in fighting crime. We have some of the lowest crime rates in the United States than we have seen in a very long time. And a big help in this was the making of the new and harsher laws.

The time and money should not be spent on how we can further limit the sales and possession of gun, it should be spent on the enforcing of the laws we have now. Most every person that use's the gun or weapon for a bad or illegal purpose's will not obey the law on how to purchase the weapon. They would rather find a way to get the weapon fast, cheap, and with out putting his or her name on the registration to later link them to the crime. And by the time these criminals get caught they most likely have already done the crime or crimes the have set out
