Gun control is a set of laws that help keep people safe by making it harder for bad people to get guns. It makes it so that people must go through a lot of steps before they can get a gun, like having a background check to make sure they're not criminals and or mentally ill. Gun control also puts strict limits on how many guns someone can have and what kinds of guns they can have. These laws can help stop bad people from getting guns and help make sure all people are safe.
