Gun Control
Gun control is used all around the world but it is used the most in America. American citizens own about 270 million of the world’s 875 million firearms. The reason why Americans own so many guns is because the second amendment gives them the right to bear arms. But this amendment interprets is so unclear to certain people where they will use it to argue for lenient gun laws. Gun control is one of the big topics in American politics on whether or not to adjust the laws, and I agree with creating more gun laws to keep everyone safe. Silva 2

Gun laws is what’s keeping us safe as of right now without them then everyone throughout the nation will have guns and use them when they want. What most people don’t realize of how many people get hurt because of the use of these weapons. On a average more then 100,000 people are shot and either become injured or die. The use of guns should not be allowed to be used by mentally unstable people, or even young adults. It would be best if we didn’t have it all. By doing this everyone would be on equal grounds and wouldn’t have to worry about being mugged or robbed by criminals. By keeping guns out we can decrease crime rate and keep more people alive then having them killed. In some cases there has been school shootings, drive by, and even mass shootings in very populated areas.

In one of these cases there was a shooting done by a 16 year old Maxwell Morton who killed another teen who was his friend.

Morton sent a picture to other people on how they thought killing another person is okay and …show more content…
Executing this will show where there all at and be able to inform the people if criminals are living near them. As John F. Kennedy say’s “Change is the law of life”, its saying we time for us to change laws that will make it impossible for anyone with a mental illness, or if anyone who comes out of prison to purchase a weapon. Guns are killing machines and do not help society at all, the only thing that it does is bring pain to other families and ruin the life of they took. We need a law that will limit guns from being used from everyone so that way no problems would happen between anyone. This will help limit the riots or angry mobs from everywhere like for instance the Ferguson incident if the officer didn’t have a gun then that whole town wouldn’t have made such a big riot and caused so many problems with the military and police. This lasted for a really long time all because one man was scared and worried and shot a African American teen and after that he had the whole town against him and wanted revenge and some wanted to do the same to what he did to that teen. But luckily he was trailed and that prevented him from
