Gun Violence Persuasive Speech

I'd like to solve the problem of so many people being killed due to gun violence. There shouldn't be as much access to the various amounts of weapons that there are. Publicly selling these weapons, cause people to want more. “The more you get, the more you want,” is something I've heard many times in my life. Hearing that over and over I started to see it in action in things like this. Although gun stores require background checks, they don't have crazy checks.

It takes a boy to make a baby, but it takes a man to create one and it takes a girl to get a man, but it takes a woman to keep him. Weapons aren't the answer as we saw with Martin Luther King
