An unarmed person will use the reason first

My Column this time was inspired by the new video of Madonna Gun Control

I think that is the greatest purpose that artist could follow to put attention of the public in a simple universally understandable emotive way to the important issues.
To be honest, I was shocked to see statistics at the end of the video, it said that 36 thousand Americans are killed in acts of gun violence every year. To compare conflict at the East of Ukraine for five years took about 13 thousand.

I understand the historical roots of the question and, of course, it's the choice of Americans as for implementing gun control or not.
My plight here is that from time to time I hear voices in my country about the liberalization of gun ownership.

A few young men my acquaintances support such attitudes: "because there are cases where adequate people become victims of impunity for intruders, therefore, only for the sake of the fact that the attackers themselves will also be victims (in the case of self-defense) - we need to move toward the permission of guns". They also say that statistics of gun violence in other countries is not that drastic like in the U.S. for example in Switzerland.

But at the moment Ukraine can't be compared to Switzerland where the security of people is on such a high standard, not saying about the level of living. So what works for Switzerland might not work for Ukraine. And again even there mass shootings did happen there before as it said in the article. Even one life how trivially this might not sound is one life to keep.
To see a bigger picture there is an interesting chart on Overview of gun laws by nations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation

Obviously, different countries deal with the question of whether to allow citizens to acquire firearms for self-defense in their own way. But as long as we in Ukraine didn't have an experience of its liberalization before is it really a time to risk now and what the cost of it in human lives could be.

Of course, after the war there is a problem with illegal guns on the streets so after new Parliament elections, we going to have soon, it is a big field for work for newly elected powers. Still, Ukraine is considerably safe if not talk about East regions Donetsk and Luhansk. Personally, I think there should be very strict control and harsh responsibility for having the unregistered weapon not talking about using it hurting others. When we historically are used that the right for the weapon only has the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to arm society by liberating guns is a way to even more violence in a weak after all the turbulence country.
Humans shall try to find other ways to soothe conflicts as unfortunately guns only have a tendency to escalate the pressure. An unarmed person will use the reason first.
