Gun Control in America

   Over the last decade many shootings and gun violence has occurred in America. Many of the citizens are defending themselves by saying that it is their right to bear arms and be prepared for the worst. Over the years crime has grown in large amounts, proving that people need guns. But owning a gun has many consequences and they are also very easy to obtain. Being able to get a gun is relatively easy, a person would just go to a gun store and just have a background check that could take up from 5 minutes to 2 weeks. Further more, shooting at schools are becoming more and more frequent and, many innocent people have died or have been harmed. On the other hand people say that it is their right to own a gun because the police can't get there immdietaly and the person would need to be able to defend themselves during their vulnerable time. Also, owning a gun is an American tradition and so is hunting with guns. There are multiple solutions to decreasing the amount of gun violence in the U.S. A way to decrease the amount of gun violence could be to lower the amount of bullets that the handler could shoot in one round. Also, they could restrict the ages of who can hold a gun. The reason is, most school shooting are from young adults or teenagers. All in all, guns are very violent and cause much chaos; but people could use guns just for traditions or self protection. A solution to the chaos of gun violence would be to restrict the age of gun handling, as well as more thorough back ground, and shorter rounds.
