Explanation / Answer

Arguments in favour:

1. The above laws will ensure the safety of teenagers in general and wearing helmet while driving two-wheeler might be a lifesaver during an accident.

2. A background check on the person buying a handgun will help in preventing a genocide act or a mass killing which has been making headlines nowadays.

3. Restricting driving hours for less experienced teenagers to daylights only will ensure that they get more experience in daylight i.e., the relatively safer time for driving.

Arguments against the laws:

1. Establishing curfew is not justified as there might be a lot of reasons a teenager might require to move out during those times.

2. The law should ensure providing driving licence to teenager with good amount of experience but not limiting the driving hours to only daytime
