Gun Control

Gun Control



             
            The second amendment is part of the American constitution and protects citizens right to bear arms. 40% of American households  have guns about 1.500 children are harmed by guns and over 100,000 people are killed by guns every year. I feel that the second amendment may have been a necessary law back in the 17th century with Americans feared British rule. Now how ever we live in a different time and it is simply unnecessary.

            Those who would seek to protect the second amendment argue that guns make people safer with facts like "The United States is #1 in the world in gun ownership, and yet it is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people." Aaron B. Powell came up with a pretty good statement saying that  “GUNS ARE NOT THE ISSUE. WE ARE.” ―Aaron B. Powell, guns. Although I agree with him I still feel guns should be controlled.

            My opinion is that there are to many guns in America it is estimated that there are 270 to 310 million guns in the U.S. which is almost as much as the population of the U.S. itself.

             


             
I also find it startling that is some places they are sold in this fashion as if these things are not responsible for the countless deaths of our fellow man. In my opinion the only solution is to keep a tight lid on them to make sure only the most sane individuals have access to something so dangerous. So we can avoid things like this.

  1. Denis,

    You have a good skeleton of an article here - it starts off promising, but then you rush through the rest and provide the bare minimum before publishing. More time and effort are needed to secure a good grade on these assignments.

    In a nutshell: write more.

    You have some good facts here, in the beginning, but then they trail off as you go into your analysis.

    Try to write more. You should triple the length of this post to keep up with expectation and what other students are doing in this class. Spend more time on the assignment, so you can boost your grade.
