Question

What are the policies for gun control?

Answer 1

The policies for gun control include the domestic regulation of firearm manufacture, trade, possession, use, and transport, specifically with regard to the class of weapons referred to as small arms such as revolvers, pistols, rifles etc. Subject to certain restrictions, most countries in the world allow civilians to purchase firearms. The United States is distinct from the other countries in considering the ownership of a firearm as a basic right of civilians and in having more permissive regimes of civilian gun ownership.
