Research Essay: Why Guns Don T Kill People

Somewhere around 12,000 people die of homicide out of the 30,000 people that die each year from guns. The remaining 18,000 die from suicide. Car crashes are deadlier than guns, 43,000 people died in 2005 to car crashes (Medred). We would save more people if we took away cars, but that would also cause other problems. People argue about how guns kill people when in reality guns can’t kill anyone unless someone pulls the trigger. People are so focused on that guns are the killers when it’s really the rage of someone that is the killer. Guns aren’t capable of killing, guns are things, a big piece of metal, guns are inanimate objects (Medred). People should forget about the guns and work on disease control and cures for diseases. Disease kill
more than 28 times the amount of people that are killed using guns. Heart Disease alone kills more than 20 times the amount of people killed by using guns. People’s lifestyle is what kills a lot of people, so to help save lives people should eat healthier than they are now. The Government ought to put some kinda law about exercising every day for a certain amount of time to help with Heart Disease. People should also get flu shots and vaccines to help with flu and other disease people get. A little more than 60,000 people were killed by flu and pneumonia (Medred).
