Gun Control Persuasive Speech

I am writing to you to address the situation of gun control. Gun control laws should be invoked so that there would be fewer deaths with guns. They should be enacted so that there could be fewer shootings which would result in fewer deaths. They should also be invoked because legally owned are often kept in homes which could result in criminals being able to take guns from people’s homes. Although guns control laws would help with the cause they would also worsen the cause because they are very often used in self-defence. Those are some of the reasons that gun control laws should be enacted and also why they shouldn’t be created.

Guns can be used in shootings which result in many deaths. In the text on NBCNews.com it states “At least 14 people were killed and two suspects were dead Wednesday after two people on a mission that authorities described as "possibly terrorism" barged into a holiday party in a California conference room and unleashed a bloodbath.” This shows that guns are used to hurt or kill people. This means that if there aren’t gun control laws, many people can get hurt
In the text on Gallup.com it shows, “In 1960, 49 people out of 100 had guns and by now still about 41 out of 100 people own guns This shows that the numbers really haven’t changed in the past few decades, which is not good. This also shows that it is still very easy for criminals to get access to guns. In the text on Gallup.com, it states, “In 1960 2 people out of 100 want the gun control laws to be less strict whereas now 11 people out of 100.” This shows that the numbers have greatly increased since 1960. This shows that many people still want the gun laws to be less strict which is not good because it would allow access to guns for criminals to be easier. Gun control laws would keep people from keeping guns in their homes which would to less frequent stolen and used guns by
