There has been an ongoing debate on the fact that regulation on the individual right to arms where is a restriction on liberty. The point needs to be taken into that there is any correlation between guns and crime. Proponents of gun-control focus on legislation assert where there is strict enforcement with respect to laws of gun-control. It can be done by reducing the number of crimes and saving lives. In contrast, there is opponent kind of gun control which focus on restriction on guns. It mainly ensures that individual need to have proper means for self-defense. It comes up with wider distribution for firearms that results in many safe communities.

Gun Control is considered to be a major issue which is considered to be on the worldwide platform. It aims to come up sovereign authority for regulation of firearms in the borders. Most of the countries around the globe come up with strict regulation of gun-control. Japan aims to place some restriction on their possession along with the use of firearms prior to limited instances.

On the contrary, Germany has provided permission for the ownership of a certain number of firearms so that individual meets the requirements for firearms ownership license. It is merely inclusive of applicants age which is 18 or even older than that. There is a need for expert knowledge for handling firearms along with necessity of possessing this kind of firearms. If gun control is stated as a place for legal restriction for arms in protecting the society, then its origination can be traced back completely in ancient Rome. Under Rome arms, there were certain number of methods which are seen like a method of for standing armies. This particular step is mainly taken so that it can prevent armies from undermining and overthrowing of the civil authority. After this, Roman law has completely forbidden the military arms from taking any step like crossing Rubicon. This particular law stands still until and unless Julius Caesar has violated it for standing army for assuming power like empower of Rome.

It is merely inclusive of provision to prevent the maintaining standard for armies at the time of peace without a legislative branch.

Current Laws and Regulations Regarding Gun Control

In England, arms are mainly controlled by the Parliament and crown which is as per the social-economic status. England needs to emphasize on the point that arms are the most common defence for the realm. In this given purpose, arms are completely restricted for regulation by the government for ensuring the fact that they were readily available for defence. It is mainly done for hands out for some of the dangerous people. In the reign of Henry VIII, there was some restriction which exists on weapons and defensive armours for bringing it to any town or church. Henry VIII has enacted with a certain number of laws of gun control who have qualified for processing guns. It is mainly done for the time when they are fired.

Gun restriction in England were rare in the subject for parliament debate. In the middle of 17^th century to the late of 18^th. The members of parliament aim to periodically propose a certain number of laws that will remove the restriction. This will allow English householders for having and maintaining guns for defending the realm. During the convention in the year 1689 that has drafted a declaration of Rights that is Thomas Erle.  He was a general and member of parliament who proposed that every substantial householder for any town and city be provided of the good musket in the instance of invasion. Later on, in the year 1693 much similar proposal was allowed for Protestant for keeping the musket. It is mainly done for the overall security of the government. This kind of proposal failed as it could they could the arm the mob which is considered to be unsafe for any government body.

The overall safety of government is only the main reason for restriction for various guns that were imposed in England. Restriction on Gun control can be considered to be haunting for game or access of hunters into the game. This will merely prevent any crime and any murders. In the year 1750, Scottish philosopher and historian opposed this kind of restriction for prevention of the establishment of national militia. It is mainly done as a result of various domestic inconveniences which could take place. This will not only place as it could deter the people from taking the necessary steps for arming people.

In the last, neither of the given arguments are affected as a result of a well-established gun in areas of England. In the middle of 18^th century, there was an adaptation of military reform which assured that militia arms aim to keep local lieutenants. There was only distribution at the time of militia muster and proper training. It was mainly a practice that was dated in the 1550s that at the time of Mary I. It is the time when they have acquired all the guns and arms of the cities, town, and hamlets which is to be kept by local government officials. It is mainly done at the time of safekeeping.

Controversies Surrounding Gun Control

Much similar to the practice in England, American colonies come up with numerous laws of gun control. It was mainly concerned at the time of safety, haunting and common defenses and lastly slaves. Considering the similarities, the American colonies that were diverged from the gun-control law of England. This was mainly done for two aspects that are outside the restriction that was imposed upon the salves. American colonies did not put any kind of restriction on the overall usage, possession, and ownership depending on the social-economic status. The second thing that needs to be taken into account that American colonies do not prescribe for selection of militia depending upon the class. Instead of that, they need to prescribe a universal draft where people of all classes are needed to maintain guns which are needed for the safety and defense of their state.

This particular belief in the US arms considering the colonial Americans focused on works of Italian Political philosopher and theorists. British Philosopher and English Politician come up to a discussion of the importance of arms that were bearing the security rights of the people in the public. There was philosophy for armed citizen where each and every citizen is considered to be a soldier and every soldier as a citizen was mainly codified in the whole of United States. A well-regulated Militia is important for the security of free state where rights of people need to kept and bearing the arms. The second Amendment is mainly the subject of intense debate which is seen in the 20^th century. U.S court come with second amendment that can restrict the federal and state government from imposing any kind of gun control. This will mainly deprive the rights of citizen for their right so that they can defend their homes and rights taken for defending the liabilities. In addition, state government is completely constrained from passing any kind of gun control legislation which can conflict with provision for the given state. Both the kind of courts are completely held permissible under this constitution. All the gun-control restriction with respect to age, criminal, mental illness and check of criminal background for gun use was mainly done outside the home.

Air Gun is a weapon which is completely based on principle of primitive blowgun which can shoot, pellets and darts by the help of expression of compressed air. The present-day air guns are completely inexpensive in nature where BB guns. The best of these developed is about half the muzzle for the velocity of light firearms. It is completely accurate for the marksmanship that has a training rage of 100 feet which can kill some of the small game. Darts that come up with proper drugs can be fired to the immobilize animals which are needed for capture. Air-gun projectile aims to carry beyond the 300 feet.

Most of the early weapons come up with reservoir for compressed air that can be released by the help of trigger, projected as a single bullet or even charge of shot. In the 16^th century, a substitute was made for the reservoir.
