In some countries, the number of shootings increase because many people have guns at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Give specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
In recent decades, many statistics have revealed the increased
number
of fatal gun
shootings. Indeed, to my mind, this
is now convincing evidence that these incidents occur because of gun
possession at home by individuals. In this
essay, I shall examine how government laws and people’s violent mindset encourages this
action.
To begin
with, the laws allow the easier possession of guns enforced by the governments pave the way for the burgeoning number
of murders happen due to the shootings. This
is because, in a developed society
, it is not uncommon to hold guns to ensure the security of the individuals. For example
, in the US, Federal government’s laws allow individuals to possess firearms and this
widely stimulates anti-social elements to involve in anti-social activities. Such
laws clearly encourage people to kill others with the help of guns and result in soaring gun
shootings.
Secondly
, increased violent mind sets of individuals enable them to react harmfully in the society
that causes detrimental effects. This
is because violent related video games nowadays enable teenagers as well as adults to react dangerously and commit crimes mainly with weapons such
as guns that cause mass destruction of humankind. For example
, in Grand Theft Auto, a popular video game in the US, have destroyed the mindset of people who addicted to it to commit serious murders blindly with the absence of moral thinking ability. Therefore
, it is certainly the case that negative mind sets improve the number
of shootings.
In conclusion, I strongly agree with the notion that holding guns at home increase fatal gun
shootings. In the future, we will certainly see the society
with a large number
of shooting incidents if laws and peoples' mindsets are not modified for the welfare of the society
