Why Guns Are Not Safe

Decent Essays
I believe that guns are unsafe and that the are causing danger to all people. Unless they are used the proper way.

Guns? Yes or No?

Do think that everyone should be able to have a gun or that guns are safe. I think that not everyone should be able to have a gun. I also think that guns are not safe for police,kids, and the citizens of the world.
My first reason the safety for the police. You hear on the News about Police getting shot and killed. Its sad to think of there family wanting them to come home safe but they don't. If it wasn't so easy to get a gun then it would happen as much and less police would get shot. 48 police have died this year so far this year. It is already 9 more than 2014. According Officer Down Memorial Page “K9 Helo was shot and killed while attempting an apprehension following a vehicle pursuit in Palmer, Alaska.” Even police dogs are getting shot and killed. I think that guns are not safe for police or police dogs.
2nd guns are not safe for kids. I kids get ahold of the guns that their parents might own the could critically hurt themselves or another person.I think that if Parents don't have guns or they keep them locked away that could be better but I also think that if a an older child finds the key and opens it to show his friends or

If anyone can get a gun or any one can we can all get hurt. For example I was at Walmart last week and saw a man and his wife looking in the gun case. There was no one there to see what he was doing. I went around the ile and saw him open one of the cases again no one was there. Right next to it was a pack of bullets but luckily the man was nice and put it back. To be standing there was scary. He could have loaded that gun and left that store so easily because no one was there. Anyone could just walk up grab the gun and be gone. They could come to your house and hurt you! To think that any person could easily get one of those

    Every year 62 children under the age of 14 will be shot and killed in the U.S. because loaded weapons will be placed in easily accessible places. There are stories of one tragedy after another that are entirely avoidable. A two year old who found the pistol in his mother’s purse and shot himself in the head or the three year old who managed to shoot another three year old with a rifle. Can we accept the risk of an event like this happening with our own children, because that is a risk that comes with owning a gun. Now the author would argue that with proper gun training and good safety measures in place situations like these can be avoided.…

    More than 10,000 people die every year from gun homicide, and most are from around 15-24 year olds. About 8,512 people have died last year from gun violence. I believe that individuals should not be allowed to have the right to bear arms because in most cases, it does not actually help people, children have easier access to dangerous guns, and having a gun makes the owner living there statistically more dangerous. First of all, many people argue guns are needed for protection purposes, but there are rarely any cases of citizens using guns. According to Carimah Townes, a Criminal Justice Reporter for ThinkProgress,“Between 2007 and 2011, 29,618,300 people experienced a violent crime, but only 235,700 — 0.8 percent — of victims used or threatened…

    GUN CONTROL Do you think we should have more gun control? My answer is yes, the world is full of idiots that have no common sense. With all the shootings and mass chaos happening in our society, we need to regulate our gun laws.

    While I do not believe we should completely get rid of guns, I think there should be tight restrictions on who is able to own a gun. I believe only game hunters and our military should have the right to own guns and they should only be able to get them if they pass things such as a mental stability test. I know people want to be able to defend themselves…

    On an average day in the United States 93 americans are killed by gun violence. There are also 1000’s of cases that involve a child being injured or killed by a stray bullet every year. Does this mean that guns are dangerous or does it mean we are using guns for the wrong intention? There are many reasons people use guns but like everything else some people use it for good and some for evil.

    Why Should Guns Be Banned

    In America, there is a growing perception that guns are: they are harmful, they kill, and they commit crimes, and so most guns should be banned. But, how can a gun kill or commit crimes; it is not a living thing, it is a tool. With the use of guns, America has grown to be a strong and independent country throughout history. The push to ban guns will only keep guns away from law abiding citizens since criminals, by nature, do not follow laws and respect the gun free zones. The banning of guns in America should end.…

    That is why I think there should be more gun control laws. If we would have always had more gun control laws, lots of these major acts of violence would not have happened, which were somewhat of a domino effect. I think it is too easy for criminals and the mentally ill to get their hands on a firearm. There is a class you take and a very shallow background check, and then you have a very powerful weapon in your hands. That weapon could easily be handed to a violent criminal.…

    The only one to blame is the person mishandling it. The only reason someone would get hurt with a gun is because they failed to keep it in a safe spot or they were playing with it. A gun isn’t going to shoot anybody by itself. If everyone took the necessary precautions no one would get hurt. In a way, owning a gun is like owning a car, if you mess around and aren’t careful it 's possible you could get…
