Should there be more restrictions on the current process of purchasing a gun?
Yes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training
If you have no criminal background, are psychologically sound, and receive the proper training you will have no problem obtaining a gun for recreational use. In 2021, 48.8 thousand people died of gun deaths in the US. Of those, 54% were suicides and 43% were murders. With these precautions, both suicide and murder statistics can be decreased, saving hundreds of lives. Again in 2021, 81% of total murders committed in the US involved a firearm. Gun deaths increased by 23% from 2019 to 2021, and gun murders in particular increased by 45% in the same time span. Thousands of American lives could be saved by increasing these precautions.
