Argumentative Essay: Do Guns Kill People

Do guns kill people or do people kill people? Child soldiers is a very heart-wrenching topic.

These children are brainwashed and drugged into thinking that this act is the correct thing to do, when clearly it is not. Like any other murderer they should be prosecuted.

In conclusion I feel as though child soldiers should be prosecuted. There is no reason why these children shouldn’t be prosecuted. They created a crime. Guns don’t kill people, people kill people. Anyone who disagrees with that is saying that a gun has a mind of it’s own when it doesn’t but the person behind the gun has a mind of their own. Prosecution is the appropriate approach to this issue. I hope that my letter changed your opinion or made you look at this issue differently.
