Introduction
Spitzer defines gun controls as a domestic regulation imposed on manufacturing, trading, possession, utilization, as well transportation regarding the firearms classified as small arms. According to Krouse, the utilization of the term gun control has been politicized and those in the legal perspectives may refer to it as "gun-violence prevention", "gun safety", "firearms regulation", "illegal guns", or "criminal access to guns.”

The researchers empirically surveyed the effects of firearm control on male suicides in the USA from the period ranging from 1995 to 2004. The study Utilized a negative binomial model with information from 1995-2004. The model was utilized as part of identifying how male suicide rates are related with the available gun control measures. The researchers found that the gun controls which are aimed at reducing the general gun accessibility have great consequences for the male suicides, while the controls that prevent risky people from owning any gun had a lesser impact on the male suicides. The researchers then concluded that completely limiting the access to firearms was recognized as a viable way of dealing with male suicide incidents, and gun controls is one approach to decreasing the availability of such guns. The investigation then recommended that gun control measures such as licenses and permits both negatively affected male suicide rates. Because there are differences among the states regarding the gun control approaches, the researchers’ outcomes recommended that some states still have the opportunity of lowering the high rates of male suicides resulting from gun ownership. This study is relevant to the topic since it mainly revolves around gun control measures and their implications to male suicides.

The researchers provide an examination on the gun control measures that resulted in the establishment of a comprehension of the “Great American Gun War” and the means that could be considered in the pursuit of a powerful firearm control approach. The study commences with a survey of the realities concerning the gun ownership patterns as well as the utilization of such guns and the reason why the Americans are always inclined towards arming themselves. The researchers in a detailed analysis provide a discussion that outlines more contagious issues on whether or how guns impact the seriousness or the level of a given crime. The firearm control measures were then condensed identifying the essential elements in question with regards to the future of the gun control measures. The researchers put the measures of gun control into three classifications; those that are expected to keep the availability of guns from especially dangerous individuals, those that are planned to impact the decisions about gun utilization and finally what effect the overall gun control has on the society in general.
