Why People Should Be Armed

Do you think that the world would be safer if more people were armed? I think that it would be! Just imagine, if everyone in the world had a gun. Then no one would be easy to kill. Mobsters would not be able to just go around and murder people, or rob them. People would be able to fight back for once. This would allow citizens, for the first time in the world, to fight back against crime and poverty. The world would be so much safer, and people would sleep better at night, don't you want that?

1 reason that normal people should be armed is that it would discourage robbers. I think this because imagine if you were a burglar, and you knew that the people in the house had guns. If it were me, I would definately not rob houses or anything else. www.motherjones.com says “There are roughly 300 million guns in the United States—nearly enough for each citizen to own one. But those guns are concentrated in the hands of a minority of Americans. Nearly a third of adults owns a gun, according to a new study in the journal Injury Prevention. And gun ownership rates vary widely by state: Alaska tops the list with 62 percent of adults saying they own a firearm; Delaware is at the bottom with just 5 percent.” If more people were armed, it would likely lower robbery rates by at least 50% in most states. I think that this is a really big benefit to having people be armed. …show more content…
I know a lot of people would say that this would cause school shootings like a lot of other unfortunate events. But, imagine if in every classroom, there was a trained gunsman (teachers) and they had a gun on them at all times. I imagine that school shootings would be a lot harder to pull off, and if it did unfortunately happen, the fatalities would definitely be decreased before the shooter was killed or otherwise
