having a gun when you are do not 100% control over your mind when you have alcohol in your system can make you do the wrong choices which can harm many people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh_pfO92qB4

Another reason why dogs can be useful to protect yourself and people that surround you. A dog catches guilty man carrying a gun at a local airport. If the dog did not catch this man, there could have been a shooting that could have killed douzens of people. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/08/rambo-police-dog-catches-gunman n3563218.html

"A 20-year-old man was shot at 7:54 a.m. Saturday in the 3000 block of West Lexington Street in the Lawndale neighborhood on the West Side, according to Officer Stacey Cooper, a spokeswoman for the Chicago Police Department. The 20-year-old was walking when an occupant of a white Honda exited the vehicle and fired several rounds, hitting the man in both legs, Cooper said. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in fair condition, she said."

This is an example of how a gun can kill innocent people.

A gun is not the only weapon you can use to defend yourself or others around you. You can take some self defense classes to protect yourself. You can take martial arts to take the criminal down.

"More American homes have guns than dogs." It is honestly shocking that more people have guns rather than having a pet. You can purchase a dog that can protect your family by training the dog to do so. In a high stress situation you might accidentally shoot someone and you won't be able to take that bullet back. But with a trained dog you can order it to attack a criminal that may cause harm to your family until the attackers immobilized and then call the dog back so that you don't have to kill the criminal with a gun. http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/cirp-gun-safety

Parents should not have a gun around their children. If they choose to do so then the gun should be concealed and should not leave the toddler with a gun unsupervised. A toddler was grocery shopping with his mother and decided to reach down his mother's purse finding a gun. The toddler pulled the trigger and killed his mother. Kids are kids and should not have a weapon this powerful that can take a life away around them.

Some parents in America think it is right to let their kid/kids be able to use a gun to shoot. I disagree because if the kid was practicing his/her shooting skills and does not see someone pass by, the kid might shoot the innocent person.

You say that having the right to carry a gun around can stop crimes but most times carrying a gun is the reason those crimes start.

Today we are going to talk about the second amendment and how it is not beneficial to our community and people around us. On the news everyday you hear court cases of how having a gun that is within your reach can be harmful. Some injure and kill innocent people everyday. Children as young as 2 years old have killed family members which is not acceptable. The second amendment is the right to bear arms which means that we have the right to have a weapon in our house or on our person if we choose to. There are a lot of regulations but even though there are these regulations are there many people do not follow them. We think that even with these regulations guns should be banned. A survey showed that parents guns were not locked up a home even though regulation states that the gun has to be locked up and unloaded.

We need to start helping starving and homeless people that actually need help. We could spend our money on that instead of spending it on space exploration. We have to make the world a better place before exploring outside of it!
