My Own Perspective on Gun Control

I . Introduction

There are several issues related to what is technically referred to as criminal justice , but there is one that I am extremely concerned about , the one on gun control . I am so alarmed because of the rampant occurrences of school shootings and other kinds of violence involving guns .
