Guns Should Be Banned In The United States

Today in the U.S there are a lot of violence and it has risen significantly, this would decrease if guns are banned. According to BBC (2016), 60% of murders were caused by firearms. If guns are banned the level of crime in the U.S will decrease unquestionably. and there will be less violence and a reduction in deaths. Another, reason why guns should be banned is because then there will be a decrease in the amount of shootings. It would be easier for the police since they don't have to worry about guns. Can one believe that 13,286 people were killed because of guns. This is extremely horrific for the citizens of the U.S. Why would someone want to live in a country where there are so much gun violence. Every person want to live somewhere

that is safe and if guns are not banned then no one would want to live in the U.S. Less people will immigrant to the U.S. According to Jacobson (2012) the U.S takes in 1 million immigrants each year which is more than any other nation. If this violence continues then this will drop dramatically and this could affect the economy of the U.S. All of this means that guns should be banned because it will affect the U.S in the long run into the future. This will reduce the amount of violence and would benefit the citizens that live in the US in many ways such as; feeling less fear and more safe. Therefore, the U.S needs to find a way to secure their country.

In the U.S many people live in fear of being a victim of gun violence.

It has been proven that many U.S citizens are scared of becoming a victim of gun violence. They are scared of losing loved ones for no reason but to the violence of people with guns. If guns are banned there will be a definite decrease in fear of Americans. According to Newport, 2017 4 out of 10 people in the U.S fear of being a victim of gun violence. As one can think, this is no easy thing to think about. As one, think of the people in the U.S how they will feel about this. How about if you were a mom and letting your son go to the park or walk to school by themselves. All of these factors why parents don’t let their sons/ daughters is because of fear. Who wants to be a victim of a violence related crime involving guns. Recently in Toronto on Monday April 22, 2018 there was a van attack. Also information released by CNN saids that 10 people died in this van rampage attack on a sidewalk. Allegedly when he was face to face with an officer he had something in his and, but later the police confirmed that it was only a cell phone. Look at this event. People in Toronto must have felt feared after some guy kills 10 people by driving a rented truck into bunch of innocent pedestrians . In the U.S it’s the same thing. This event that happened in Toronto was not preventable. Anyone could just drive a car and kill random people if he wanted to. A kid could just go and buy a gun. This is why many people are

feared in the U.S because for them guns are not controllable. So if guns are banned people will feel less feared and the U.S will be more safe.

The U.S currently isn’t the safest place right now but is all due to one factor and that is guns which promotes violence, as well as fear.

The U.S is the 5th safest country in the world out of 160 countries according to safearound.com. But why is the U.S not the same as Canada which is ranked 8th out of 160 countries. The main reason is that it’s not safe It is all due to guns but the government doesn’t take any actions this will continue and the U.S will continue to drop to the bottom of the list out of all the countries since their is so much violence. People are always pushing towards the government that they need help since they can’t do anything. People can’t change the rules of their own country they live in they can only ask by protesting or writing a letter. If the government take action it would help the people and the government itself. According to

CBS News (2016), Americans are ten more times likely to be killed by guns than people in other developed countries. But this proofs that even though they are the 51th safest country in the world they still need to improve on their gun control. Can one think that in the U.S there is enough guns of every man, woman and child according to BBC (2016). Why would someone want to have a mass productions of guns for everyone. It would make the whole country uncontrollable. The government need to realize that if they let this happen in the future the U.S is going to become a

disaster.

Many citizens think that guns should not be banned because they think that it would be a good tool to use as self defense. People think this is a great idea to use guns. In addition, it’s just causes more problems. In 2016 there were 495 incidents of accidental firearms deaths in the U.S (www.aftermath.com). This shows that just having guns just has a greater impact of deaths by firearms each year in the U.S. Letting people have their own guns is not going to workout, why would someone want to die just because someone else killed you for thinking you were a intruder or robber. How would a family feel if their loved one got killed because of other person who had a possession of a gun? It would be devastating, and when the police come and take the suspect to court, he could be free if the rule that he used the gun for self defense appropriately. Secondly, some believe that banning guns won’t do anything as for safety. Many think that robbers and other thieves will use knives or any other weapons to kill people. Many people think this is true but it is actually false. If guns are banned there will be a reduce in crime. According to BBC 40% of murders were caused by other weapons but not guns. This itself shows that it false that banning guns will not benefit the crime level of the U.S. If guns were to be banned it would benefit everyone starting with the citizens to the police and finally the government. It would save the government a lot of money rather than spending money on your police to control gun violence. In addition, some may think that people will still somehow acquire guns even though they get banned. But is is false. In Japan the level of crime is very low. The deaths caused by firearms are really slim. It’s really tough to acquire a gun there anyways. This even proves that banning guns can have a benefit of the safety of the U.S. Even though one may believe that banning guns won’t do anything in the long run, it would benefit the U.S and make it a stronger, safer and more friendly place for the citizens.

It has been clearly proven that countries that ban guns have a decrease in violence, safety level increased and the number of people feeling feel fear has decreased. Even though there is a debate that the effectiveness of this ban will lack the safety for the citizens of the U.S. Safety is not about can be completely safe or not. It’s about living in a place that is safe enough for one to live in. In the U.S we need to consider how to decrease the violence and make the citizens feel less fear as well as making it a safer place by banning guns which will make the U.S more secure as for safety.
