gun control and use

2. GUN CONTROL
The United States has 88.8 guns per 100 people, or about
270,000,000 guns, which is the highest total and per capita
number in the world. 22% of Americans own one or more guns
(35% of men and 12% of women). America's pervasive gun
culture stems in part from its colonial history, revolutionary
roots, frontier expansion, and the Second Amendment, which
states: "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security
of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed."

ownership licence as spelled out under the Firearms Act (Cap. 114) Laws
of Kenya. Anyone who is 12 years or older can apply to privately own a
gun. However, such persons must provide in writing to the Chief Licensing
Officer (CLO) stating genuine reason(s) for their need to privately own
and carry a firearm. It remains at the discretion of the CLO to make a
decision to award, deny or revoke a gun ownership licence based on the
reason(s) given.
Anyone seeking to hold a gun licence must pass the most stringent of
background checks that probe into their past and present criminal,
mental health and domestic violence records. Failure to pass one of
these checks automatically bars one from rm.
