Whenever a mass shooting happens in America, democrats call for more gun control measures. The main ways they’ve chosen to limit gun ownership include background checks & banning guns altogether. These strategies are very simple & insensitive to the rights of their citizens. This article will explain how democratic gun control increases shootings in America & similar countries.
Gun control in early America
First & foremost, we should all recognize the fact that it is a human right to bear arms. Those who wrote the constitution of the United States understood well the importance of owning & bearing arms, as well as the fact that all human rights come from Allah SWT (The Most High).
Without arms, innocent people are left to defend themselves from criminals with their bare hands. Some people are uncomfortable with weapons and choose to delegate the task of security to distant authorities who are often insensitive & racist. Even worse, these people are often advocating to criminalize gun ownership for anyone besides those authorized by the government. These people have forgotten their own rights as well as where they come from. As a result, the right to defend yourself has been commercialized & concentrated to a select few people in states like California. This brings us to the ‘gun-free’ zones.
Massacres at gun-free zones
Recent events like the shooting in Uvalde have showed us that gun-free zones do not provide safety. Even armed officers do not always provide safety & security when they arrive. Officers in Uvalde actually prevented a teachers husband from entering the premises while they waited for 45 minutes. Armed personel should have been there before long before the shooter arrived, and there should have been no waiting.

While it’s totally racist & inefficient, law enforcement in the US is not actually a disaster for humanity. Law enforcement is a necessary element of every society. However, the way law enforcement is implemented in secular states is a total disaster to humanity. Law enforcement officers should not be criminalizing innocent people, and they should not be the only ones allowed to defend themselves & their community. While the concept of gun control is good, it’s not being done effectively. It is actually increasing the number of casualties during these shootings.
Background checks
Firstly, the background checks that are performed during a gun sale only affect those who have been convicted of a crime. There is many crazy people that commit crimes without being convicted because they have connections to the justice system. On the other hand, there are also many people who made a harmless mistake & were convicted. These people who are convicted of crime are subjected to some level of discipline, however, those with connections to the justice system are usually not.
As a result of this system, many crazy people who are spoiled by their families & connections to the justice system are able to purchase weapons, while people who were disciplined by the justice system are disabled from legally defending themselves.
This is a very critical flaw in the ‘background check’ gun control strategy. The whole ‘background check’ scheme is really just a tool for the government to make self-defense an exclusive right. Many gun stores are run by racists. Also, as I said before, many officers beat their wives & are not convicted of domestic violence.

Morality vs legality
People need to recognize that there are many good people who do not work in law enforcement that would love to protect their community. Those with connections to law enforcement are definitely not the only good people. Many of those with connections to law enforcement turn out to be terrible people.
Legal terms do not define morality. Rewarding obedience & punishing all dissidence is actually destroying the balance in modern society. There are many laws that are unjust, and there are many criminals that didn’t do anything wrong. As long we continue exclusively empowering government officials & criminalizing self-defense, these mass shootings will continue.
There are many criminals in the government, and there are many innocent people in the system. Before we continue down the path of checking backgrounds & banning guns, we should check to make sure that the laws are not giving privilege to the friends & family of state officials while criminalizing innocent people. We can see how this gun control increases shootings in racist countries like America.
