1938- Causing the firearms to be license with guns was caused because to many guns were getting bought, and being used. The effects after did not do much, it made people not buy guns, but people who purchased them before was still a threat.
1968 - the Gun Control Act of 1968 prevents the sale of firearms to drug dealers, felons, and people with mental illnesses because It primarily focuses on regulating interstate commerce in firearms by generally prohibiting interstate firearms transfers except among licensed manufacturers, dealers and importers.

Once someone has a video or any info with something involving guns, or anything its all over the web. Once its on the web more and more people see it, most people save it and share it from there. For socially with gun control its the most talked about right now in 2018 because of all of the most recent shootings. Plus with all of the new techonology and social media connections its made Gun Control all together a major deal.
Economic -
The Economic part of the gun control is all of the people who are against or for gun control. By this the protests are 2 sided, or some people don't even know how they feel. Most democrats are against gun control, and most republicans are for gun control, just proved by how many people protested, and who did not. By having Trump as our president and him being a republican feeds off of all of the world. The people who support trump, and voted for trump at least half of them are for no gun control. All of the protests and things that have been happening and the president have not done anything about it because he believes in no gun control. By having these economic groups it has caused protests, and many problems in the US.
Global -
From the global part of gun control just from the time span of 1938- 2018 so many events have happened that have effected the whole world. More back around to 1930s to the 1960s that is when it was more of the down low on gun control, and it was more of the laws and licenses of guns. As soon as the columbine shooting the rates of guns being purchased in the US and used went up by fast amounts. The US is one of the highest gun control, and most comimtted crimes ll around the world. Nothing compared to Iraq and some bad parts in other countries. But for school shootings, and other caused shootings overall the worlds purchases of guns, and them being used has gone up a big amount.
Lost
Gained
Due to all of the gun control rights, for many years since guns have been around, we have lost many lives. We have also lost a lot of world round trust, for this reason for all of the most common shootings have caused protests, and many riots to all of the gun control laws. So many people disagree on the rights and everyone has lost trust in many countries and all of the gun control violations.
Due to all of the gun control rights we have gained a lot of more protection and security. In schools now there are many security guards, and people who look out for all of the schools nation wide. We have also just gained a lot of security for many business, and many jobs, mostly at the white house due to past shootings. For people who are for no gun control they have still gained no laws on the gun control, only the laws before all of the major drama started to happen. After the Columbine shooting happened thats when the talk of gun control went down hill.
