    safe and to be safe, they feel as if they need weapons. These weapons are guns, the bad thing about guns is that they are usually blamed for all of the violence in the world. Guns are not the problem though, it is the people with the guns that are. They obtain them illegally and cause harm to the people around them. This was not the original purpose for guns, guns were used to protect what people want to protect. Banning guns would not reduce the crime rate in America, since criminals and…

    We all have our views on gun ownership, whether it is to ban assault rifles, to limit the size of the magazines a gun can hold, or to ban all guns in general. I do not think that we should ban the use of guns completely throughout the country, but I do think that we should aim to do more to reduce gun violence. According to pewresearch.org, there are 270 million to 310 million guns in the United States – close to one firearm for every man, woman and child. In addition, according to pbs.org,…

This is totally unacceptable and must be addressed and the best approach on the issue adopted to preserve life. This will be easily achieved by ensuring the guns are only in the hands of the law enforcers (Kovandzic 489). The statistics refutes the arguments presented by those who oppose strict gun control on the basis that they make our society more secure, because the facts show otherwise.…

    Limited Access: Guns in School Think back to the headlines and media from the following years; 1999, 2007, and 2012.

    says Paul Waldman of The Week. What injured and killed them, you may ask? Guns. Most of them accidental. My topic is gun control. I think that there should be procedures you must take before being able to get a gun. Way too many people die each year from gun related injuries - and nobody is doing anything about it! If terrorists were the ones who were killing 30,000 people a year, just imagine all the restrictions and gun laws we would have. Instead, we are just letting more and more people get…

    Do you believe Guns cause violence? Guns are the leading cause of death among young people in the united states, and are involved in about 460,000 crimes per year. Sandy hook, Pulse night club, or any other mass shooting would not happen if there were stricter gun laws. There needs to be a change and it must happen soon or more people are going to get hurt. I say this not to sound like some peace-making hippy, but because banning guns urgently needs to become an extreme possibility. The…
