Gun Violence

I believe that the rules on gun control can be revised without violating the Second Ammendment

Dear Future President,

I would like to bring to your attention the issue of gun violence. I believe that action should be taken regarding gun violence. I also believe that action can be taken without violating the second amendment. I believe that if the issue was investigated further, we as a country could come up with a solution that works for everybody.

Every day, 306 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, unintentional shootings, and police interventions. Every day, 90 people are killed from gun violence, 31 are murdered, and 56 kill themselves. I believe that it is unnecessary that all these people are dying from gun violence. As we all know, the issue of gun control is bound to create huge controversy whenever it is mentioned. We need to come together as a country and find a solution that helps prevent gun deaths while simultaneously preserving the second amendment.

A solution that I would personally recommend is more intensive background checks. An easy way to solve the problem of gun violence is to get guns out of the hands of people who should not have them, and get them into that hands of the people that should. Although, even if we somehow manage to accomplish this, it will give birth to another problem, people who should not have guns will still find a way to obtain them illegally and a black market will form. The solution to this is allowing for citizens who have the proper documents to carry concealed weapons. If more citizens carry firearms for personal protection it would make criminals think twice before going out and shooting people, as this would dramatically increase the likelihood of the criminals getting shot themselves.

In conclusion, taking these actions will reduce the death toll drastically when it comes to gun violence. This is a very important step that needs to be taken for the greater good of the United States of America. Gun control is a very sensitive issue that requires a delicate touch, but it is possible to find a logical solution that works for all Americans.

Make America Great Again!

Sincerely,

 Parker
