The U.S. government should out law guns for use by ordinary citizens. The government should give everyone one year to turn in their weapons to the nearest police precent. The government can then take all the guns and melt them down and use the metal for homeless shelters or something else that Americans can benefit from. If a crime involving a gun is committed after the year citizens were supposed to submit their guns, heavy jail sentences of no less than two years should be given. With banning of guns crime will decrease. The death rate will also decrease. Even though guns would be banned, like any illegal thing in America the gun would still be available. But if guns are illegal there would be limited access to them, so the prices of firearms would increase so only a small percentage of the

Ordinary citizens should not own guns. Citizens have as much rights to carrying guns as they do explosives or other weapons of mass destruction. Both are used to kill. Both were invented to help human beings, but both were used in the wrong way, causing more harm than good. In 1993 guns killed more Americans than the Korean War. That proves that in war when guns are supposed to be used to protect a nation, less people die in war than when ordinary citizens own guns. Why are theses weapons of mass destruction allowed in homes? Why did the government out law bombs, grenades and mines and other weapons? Yet an angry person can easily go out get a gun and kill as many people as his or her ammunition will allow them to. 15 thousand people are killed a year by other people with guns in America. Guns are owned by half of American households. When defective consumer products such as baby strollers, car air bags, or defective tires kill humans the government recalls the product. If 13 children a day died from bad meat in school cafeterias or toxic air from a sewage plant , the proper authorities would step in trace the problem and stop it immediately. Yet 13 children die every day in the U.S. from gun violence. Gun homicide is the fourth leading cause of death for young people 10-14 years of age. The rate of children under the age of 14 to die by a gun in America is nearly 23 times higher in the U.S. than 25 other industrialized nations combined. The solution is clear out law guns.

When the second amendment was made, which states that Americans have the right to own firearms, it was for men in the militia to protect their colony against an attack from the British. When the second amendment was created they also needed firearms to hunt for food. In the present day it is not necessary for ordinary citizens to own firearms. There is easy access to food , so guns are not necessary for hunting. Americans do not need firearms for protecti
