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.

  1. 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
