There have been many gun control laws established throughout the U.S., but they vary from state to state. For example, in Colorado you can purchase any type of gun: handgun, machine gun, shotgun, rifle, automatic rifle, etc. at the age of 18, while in other places you would need a hunting license.1 I think this is unfair because when I?m at the age of 18 I would want to buy a gun, but I can?t because I?m living in California and another 18 year old could in Colorado.

Many people think teenagers with guns are very dangerous because they are small and immature and probably would run around killing people with a gun. I agree that teenagers are very curious about guns and think they are toys, but they don?t kill much people with guns. According to the study by the U.S. Department of Justice?s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, teenagers who get guns from their parents don?t commit gun crimes at all; while teenagers who get guns illegally do commit crimes about 21% of the time.4 Many of the teenagers are being killed each year by guns, but not by juveniles; 90% of children under the age 12 or under being murdered and 70% of the aged 12-17 are being killed by adults out of the 2000-3000 children gun victims each year.5 Teenagers are primarily killed by gun accidents and gun accidents are increasing, but more teenagers die from accidental drowning and burns than from gun deaths (Please see accident chart in the back G.1) As I said before teenagers that have guns don?t kill many people.

So teenagers having guns and bringing guns to school is not so bad. So it is not necessary to have gun control for children sense they don?t do any bad things with guns and all they uses guns for is protection and self-defense.

Even though guns cause many deaths, they also save many lives too. Guns saved about 3.9 million peoples lives each year by self-defense. Only guns in the hands of criminals are bad and guns in the hands of regular people are for protection. So I think that ev
