Moorhouse, J. C., & Wanner, B. (2006). Does gun control reduce crime or does crime increase gun control. Cato J., 26, 103.
Incidences of crimes have been reduced over time because of the gun control laws that are in place; this is according to the advocates’ arguments. According to the advocates the laws, have provided the kind of guns that are supposed to be sold to the public and the kind of people who are supposed to buy the weapons. It also goes forward and provides how those guns should be kept and how they are supposed to be used. This shows the linkage that is there between the gun control laws and the crime rates.
I agree to some extent by the author of this book, that gun control laws can reduce the rates of crimes. Since, they provide specifications on how the guns should be acquired and used and the people who are supposed to purchase them, however, on the other hand, they can not help to control the crime rates since the people who have acquired this guns legally are the same people who are using this guns to commit crime again. This book will be beneficial in the research that will be seeking to find out whether the control of the firearms reduces the offence or it is a crime that has led to an increase in gun control.

Numerous researches have been conducted by the soldiers with the aim of finding out the impact that the laws controlling the gun laws have on the crime rates and after analysing all the studies that, were conducted on the subject and taking some places as experimental sites. This book comes to a consensus that, the laws can reduce some laws and at the same time, they can also lead to an increase in some crime rates.
This book will be beneficial in the study that will be seeking to find out if the gun control laws increase the crime or it reduces the crime. I agree with the manner that, the author argues that, the criminal laws can actually reduce some crimes and they can also increase some crimes as well.
