We Should Control Crime, Not Guns
Crime and criminology is a major issue that affects the world today. Crime has affected the larger portion of the United States to the extent where there are various laws and regulations that are aiming at ending the vice. There are certain cities and regions in the US where people dare not to go. This is due to the high levels of crimes that are reported in those regions. People are also undertaking various studies in criminology in bids to find a longer lasting solution to the vice. The government has come up with a proposal of controlling guns as the sure way of controlling results. This is thus a move that will not bear fruits as it should have had a more focus on controlling crimes more than controlling guns (Frank 32). There are various reasons in support of this. First, controlling guns do not clear the streets of criminals. Even if the government engages in reducing the number of guns that are in possession by people, it cannot reduce the number of criminals. It should therefore arrest and charge all criminals available as the best approach to controlling crime. It is these criminals who are very much specialized in ensuring that that guns move within themselves without any notice of the law.

Studies have revealed that poor living conditions or lack of money pressures one to engage in crime (Rachel 98).
Gun control is not a viable approach of reducing crime due to the smuggling of guns into the country. The authorities should strengthen border patrol and port security so that illegal immigrants with criminal minds do not enter. It also assists in ensuring that they illegal weapons are not smuggled in the country. This will assist in stabilizing the security industry that has been under criticism due to poor decision
