Sandy Hook Elementary  

In the article "Do We  Have the Courage to Stop This" Nicholas Kristof talks about children that are most likely to be murdered with guns and others will die from public health. He also talks about how easy it is to get a hold of a gun these days and how he received a riffle from his father at the age of 12. Kristof thinks that people should be able to buy one gun once a month instead of 15 in one day.

Some think that in order to buy a gun the seller should do a background check on buyer to see if there is any violent history or mental problems. It says in the article that more american's die in gun homicides and suicides in six months than have died in the last 25 years in every terrorist attack and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Australia suffered 14 mass shootings and 5 massive ones in the U.S.

I think no one should own guns because someone would wind up being killed. Police Officers should own taser's only. This  would stop homicides. I also believe that people with mental problems and criminal history should not be able to own any type of weapon. But if we take away guns there will still be knives that can also lead to deaths. Today you have to be 18 to own a gun and 21 to drink which is totally backwards.

Why do parents take guns around their children? Taking guns around your children is just influencing them to pick one up and use it. Why do parents give their children guns at such a young age? If parents give their children at a young age they can be raising a soon to be criminal.
