Gun Control misc10
"Stick 'em up." These are three of the most feared words known to us today. Innocent people, males and females, the elderly, our nation's youth, all of these people must currently live in fear. Walking down the street, taking a Sunday drive, going to the supermarket, the bank, or a gas station have all become dangerous tasks. One item has made all of these normal, routine things dangerous. That item is, a gun. Many people have lost their lives because of guns. Others have been crippled because of guns. Many great leaders and politicians have lost their lives due to guns and gun violence. This great land of America, the land of the free, has been turned into the land of the feared. No other nation has been able to conquer these United States of America. Guns have done something which to the world, pretty much seemed impossible, they have taken over America! The police do not solely control citizens because of their title, but rather because of what each and every one of them has strapped to the side of their hip. The FBI, Police, SWAT Team, and other law enforcement agencies wouldn't be so feared if it weren't for guns. Yet, that's just

On April 20th, 1999 America came to a stand still while watching a tragedy unfold in the small town of Littleton Colorado, where twelve people lost their lives to gun violence. The list of tragedies due to gun violence goes on and on. Most teenagers have at least some knowledge as to the dangers of guns, but little kids see it on T. Feared, instead of respected, which isn't right. The child won't have to go further than the television set to figure out how to use it. Yet, it takes the loss of lives of America's youth and hundreds of other innocent bystanders to finally make us realize how dangerous guns are. Then a month later a sixth grader gets a gun and goes to school and shoots the teacher that suspended him. This was an extreme measure that was taken, which the leaders of Switzerland thought would help the citizens protect themselves.
