do we have the corage to stop this
In “Do we have the courage to stop this?” Nicholas D.
Kristof talks about regulating guns after what happened in Connecticut. 5 to 14
years old Americans are 13 times likely to be murdered with guns. A firearm
takes a life every 20 minutes. Kristof explains how the United States won’t ban
guns, but they should reduce them. One of Kristof Facebook followers said, “It
is more difficult to adopt a pet than it is to buy a gun.” 10,000 lives would
be saved every year if people could reduce guns deaths by one-thirds. “We’ve
endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years,” President Obama
said on television. The last sentence
that Kristof said in his article was that, “Some of you are alive today because
of those auto safety regulations. And if we don’t treat guns in the same
serious way, some of you and some of your children will die because of failure.”
I agree to what he’s saying. People out in this world killing people and
themselves for stupid reasons. I think they should reduce guns but not only
that but I think cops should only have them. People sell illegal guns from
private place or buying them from guns stores but there under age. In my opinion
I think they should have something where people can give their guns away and
get money for doing it. Innocent lives are gone because someone decided they
want to shoot that person.

Do you think that hunting should be banned as well? Should no one but police and military people be allowed to own a gun? 90
