Gun Violence

Crime in the United States of America has continuously rose due to the amounts of people carrying guns. The Pew Research Center found out that "more than a third of Americans say that they or someone in their household owns a gun." This is thirty seven percent of America. Also, there is an estimated "270 million to 310 million guns in America, which is close to one firearm for every man, woman and child." Owning guns has become an outrage in society. It has become a social norm in today's world. People not fit to own guns are the ones with guns in their hands. People on the no fly list are able to carry guns. This should stop as soon as possible. People do have the right to bare arms, but the amounts of people carrying arms needs to decrease. I believe this will help for the greater of our communities, schools, and families.
