FREE ESSAY ON HANDGUNS

HANDGUNS

All handguns must be banned because they are the cause (s) of many deaths amongst the
people of the world today. Gun violence result in fifty percent of today's tragedies.
Handguns causes too many deaths, the government need to make gun less accessible, and the
law/law enforcement need to really enforce the laws they make.
First, and foremost many handguns have claimed the lives of too many people. This is a
very serious issue we must tackle globally not just in the United States. The same
problem is killing our past, present, and future. Gun violence has claimed the lives of
so many Americans that we are the leading country in crimes committed by guns. These guns
are claiming the lives of people ranging from babies to adults to even the elderly.
Handguns are just causing too many deaths.
Second, if handguns or guns in general weren't that accessible and it wasn't that easy to
get a hold of one most of this senseless violence would not occur. I believe that if the
proper laws go in effect we would have fewer criminals. In addition to those laws we need
to be sure proper authorities enforce them.
The lawmakers of today make laws and they don't think about the decisions they make from
both perspectives. They may say it's all right to own a handgun but they may have
different intentions than the user has on how and why they need one. The owner may need
one for their protection but the lawmaker may think it's for hunting or something other
than it causing violence. To ensure these guns are not being used for violence the law
needs to make a set of rules and regulations on the conditions of guns. How to use
them/abuse them need to be the number one law. It should state guns are not intended to
be used for violence of no kind. The law need to enforce the laws they make to ensure
proper safety it would eliminate half of the gun violence.
On a personal note I lost a cousin to gun violence. I really can't say at first I blamed
the gun but I blamed the person. When I thought about it I has to ask certain questions
like... how did this guy get the gun any how? He was a convicted felon and he had no
business with a gun.
Finally, I truly believe that all handguns should be banned because people are misusing
these weapons and killing off our youth and basically our people. The laws have to get
tougher. I'm making this point especially for the inner cities across America. It's sad
when a fourteen year old boy can get access to a dangerous firearm it's just senseless. I
can't say that banning these guns will stop all violence but I estimate it will eliminate
fifty-five percent of all this senseless violence. The handguns of the world today are
killing too many people.
