Why Guns Should Be Banned in Australia
unPersuasive Writing task: Banning of guns in America
Ever since the tragic shootings at Sandy Hook elementary school, it has brought attention to the people around the world for the introduction of the banning of guns. In recent years, the firearm related deaths in America soared to over 30,000, but in Australia in the same year, we have only had 236 deaths resulted from firearms. This is a huge difference and the major reason why is because of the introduction of the gun laws which banned certain guns in Australia in 1996 where the deaths every year where cut in half in the years that followed.
Putting forth a gun law will not make any criminals follow the rules. For example, the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting occurred because Adam Lanza didn’t follow the gun laws because they are too flexible. They allow certain guns to be purchased which allowed his mother to purchase weapons which he took forcibly and went on a rampage at the school. The solution to reducing crime is to go to the source of the problem, guns. Not just introducing a gun law, no, this will not stop anyone, but instead banning guns all together.
Banning guns will greatly decrease the crime, homicide and suicide rates in America. If criminals don’t have the weaponry but the police forces do, the criminals will not stand a chance against them. This will lower the crime and murder rates because the police will be able to stop them and prevent them from injuring or killing anyone. This will ensure safety and peace is maintained in the city. The prohibition of guns will also decrease the amount of massacres in the US. Research has shown that out of the 62 massacres from 1982, 49 of those mass shootings were committed with weapons obtained legally from firearm stores. The banning of guns will have prevented those 49 mass shootings and saved hundreds of lives.
Research has found that there are around 89 firearms in every 100 people in America. A common argument against the banning of guns is
