Gun control


Gun violence increased dramatically.More and more people began to aquire and carry guns,leading to a sharp increase in gun death and injuries.

Law makes illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to have a handgun.Despite that,some get from their friends,borrow,buy or steal them.

People sometimes carry guns because they are afraid or because they want to intimidate others,but everyone must remember thet carrying a gun will not make us safer.

Guns escalate conflicts and increase the chances that we will be seriously harmed.If we carry a gun,we are twice as likely to become the victim of gun violence.We also run the risk that the gun may be turned on us or that an innocent person will be hurt.We may do something in a moment of fear or anger that we will regret for the rest of our life.

We can protect ourselves from gun violence.If we know someone is carrying gun illegally,we must report about it.Policy must not allowed to keep a gun to a high-risk person.Also,where must be extremely difficult to obtain a gun.If obtaining a gun legally is very difficult,the price of legal guns goes way up,and availability goes way down.And it is much more difficult for criminals to obtain guns.Stiffer sentences for gun crimes.Gun education.Perhaphs gun purchasers should be required to take lessons in gun safety.

Gun violence is a big broblem nowdays.It is very sad,but it is our reality.
