Should civilians be allowed to carry guns for self-defense?

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense. It’s important for any country to try to find the optimal policy, but in my view, citizens should not be allowed to carry guns, even for self-defense. Now let me explain the details.     

First, the main justification for gun ownership is self-defense, but studies have shown that carrying guns does not deter crime, but triggers it. For example, in the US alone, guns kill more than 100 people every day. So, President Biden is trying to strengthen gun control, which is a positive thing.     

Next, I understand some may uphold limiting gun ownership, but any gun owner can have an accident if he lacks the proper knowledge and skills. And accidental shootings can harm not only the owner himself, but also innocent bystanders.           

Actually, banning guns might be challenging. However, the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed ‘eliminating any violence in society’ as one of their key challenges. So, we must come together and act against gun ownership among citizens. Thank you for your attention. [180 Words Type-G]
