Gun Violence Prevention
Gun violence is random shooting, not related to war, or hunting. I think gun violence is very bad, because if you have no reason the shoot, you shouldn’t. In our assembly Obama talked about having to have a licences and a background check to own a gun, but even if you own one it does not mean you will use your gun for good. You can still just shoot randomly. I think if there were not guns in this world, even for police, it would be a lot safer. Even if there still are other weapons, with a gun, you can shoot from far away. And if the target does not have a gun, then you don’t have a big risk of getting shot. With a bow and arrow you can shoot and get shot, but you can’t hide one. A gun however, you can hide, and just bring it out when you want.
My mom, dad, and I were talking about the NRA and the 2nd amendment. The Second Amendment is “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The NRA stands for National Rifle Association. The NRA is a association that backs up the 2nd amendment. It keeps the rule that you have the right to bear arms. My whole family thinks that nobody should really need a gun. Our world is not safe with guns, and they are not good.
