Less Firearms: Less Guns, Less Crime?
Less guns, Less crime? “‘If a preschool child hits another child with a rock, the solution is not for every child to have a rock!”’(NICHOLS) More gun control is needed with the advances of fire arms. Getting a gun is far too easy in America. A person can obtain a firearm the day they walk into a gun store and hands over the money. The absence of more gun control is helping these crimes occur more often, this is allowing citizens to obtain guns easily.
“Right now, State officials, local authorities, and school districts in all 50 States are considering our their own plans to protect their children in their schools”(LaPierre) ways the schools can prevent any issues with guns would be to arm the staff of the schools with a concealable firearm.
There are many homeless veterans in the United States who could easily protect the schools if they were given firearms and guarded the schools. Another possibility is to place more police officers on school grounds.
“Evidence suggests that violent behavior attributable to mental illness accounts for just 3 to 5 percent of all violence of in the US”(Hamzelou) There are many ways a mentally ill person can obtain a firearm without needing background check. At gun shows they should run names through a security database and not allow them in or have owners be able to identify them. The citizens that have been deemed mentally ill should have a way to be identified at gun shows. “...there are loopholes in the US law that allow people to buy guns without without background checks, for example at gun shows”(Hamzelou). There are many loopholes and ways to obtain firearms. Such as gun shows, police auctions, and buying them from other citizens.
In conclusion, citizens will always find ways around laws and the united states needs to be ready if anything happens. The best ways to do this is to arm people that know how to use firearms and protect our young and weaker. If we keep allowing schools to not be guarded more people will begin shooting up schools or trying to hurt our children of the country.
