Intro
Hook: The United States has about 270,000,000 guns. That’s the highest total in the world.
Background info: 22% of Americans own one or more guns. 35% are men and 12% are women. Along with the federal gun laws, each state has its own guns laws. Ranging from California which has the most restrictive gun laws to Arizona which has the most lenient. 43 out of 50 states have a "right to bear arms" clause in their state constitutions, according to the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence and the Brady Campaign's.

Those numbers are not pointing out all those murders being by guns but there are 743 more black killings than white. Gun laws are for everyone not just black people and they don’t target just black people or the poor black people. There is evidence that there is more murder and crime in the black community than in the white so while it may seem racist it is not in the bigger
