Gun Control Pros

Injuries from firearms send an estimated 7,000 kids to the ER every year, and an additional 3,000 children die from gunshot wounds before they can get to a hospital, according to a new study published in the journal Pediatrics. While these statistics are shocking, gun control needs to be promoted. In 2011, 10.3 in every 100,000 people in the U.S. were victims of gun-related deaths (Dosomething.org). Gun control has become a dangerous activity in the United States because of many injuries over the years, some intentional and some on accident. It has made the government question if only police officers should be able to own guns because of how unsafe it has become. Many attacks to the public in general involved guns and some people believe it

However, the first ad, in which a gun is pointing directly at you, is ultimately more persuasive, since it’s more realistic. Kids can get hurt when around guns which is an actual outcome. If you forget to lock the trigger on a gun and you can accidentally shoot someone, or if you’re in the woods and think a child is a deer or a different type of animal you are trying to hunt you could accidentally shoot them.
