Gun control and gun violence are major issues in this country. With the number of shootings rising, especially school shootings; we start to question if it is the rare occasion or something common. Who is to blame for people being inappropriate with their guns, the people or the law that allows them to carry the gun? Many gun owners are responsible with their guns so why punish the few along with the many? Or is it better to not take the risk with anyone at all? Access to guns now is easier than ever before too. Would putting a ban on guns actually be able to control them, or would the gun ban be a complete fail like the prohibition?
I personally think that there are too many people that own guns in the United States. All these guns will just bring us all problems the violence will increase more people would get shot for dumb reasons. It doesn't matter how unsaved you feel you shouldn't have a gun in a church or in a bar. Maybe if you feel like is unsaved to go to the bar without a gun you shouldn't be out to the bar. For example the shooting that happened in Colorado which happened in July 20, 2012 there were 12 people that were killed and 38 injured. Having a gun wasn't a God given right therefore people shouldn't use that in their arguments because there wrong.
The solution to all this madness would be to ban guns from citizens that have any type of record or any mental illnesses. They should go through a long process to have the gun and the gun shouldn't be able to leave the house because if it does they would get arrested. Gun owners should also be required to take a gun training class to teach them gun control and gun safety. This would bring down the violence and probably make people feel safer that the waiter they just yelled at isn't going to shoot them or attempt to kill them.It would also make it easier for cops because there would be less shootings and less cops dying in action because of a gang shooting or other gun related situation. The more rules the government puts on guns the less violence there would be.
Hans,
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm so glad that you put in pictures... and good ones, too.
They help break up the text and visually organize the post.
I like your intro. You open up a lot of good questions.
But then, in your second paragraph, you jump right into your opinion. This paragraph should be dedicated to the pro-gun people. What are they saying? Who are their leaders? What facts are they using?
Also, this post is missing many facts. Use the articles that I provide (and the lecture) to pull out key statistics. Be specific about which states have lax gun laws. Be specific about everything. That is how you will convince readers.
Try to have at least 3 facts in each paragraph. Use statistics, prices, places, names, quotations from the articles, etc. The facts are what are going to prove that you know about this subject better than most.
