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 years, the world has become a very uncanny place. Increases in the rate of shootings would be a great sample of
this
and many analysts say climbing percentages are because of personal armament. I fully agree with that because it had become very easy to own a gun nowadays. After WW1 and WW2
people
have been scared of almost everything that can show harm to their relatives or beloved ones. Still in the 2020s wars can happen between countries.
For instance
, Armenia and Azerbaijan or Russia and Ukraine had been fighting in the
last
few years.
Due to
that, many
people
claim that they should be free about buying guns for protecting themselves and their families in case of emergencies.
However
, statistics show that many
people
are using weapons for evil purposes.
For example
, robbery or individual revenge.
Furthermore
, high rates of pupils who buy weapons usually are not trained. They do not know how to use a gun and they are not aware of how dangerous they are. What would happen if someone who is innocent has been shooted? Yet, these are not the only reasons. Another cause for an increase in the ratio of shootings is the aggressive public environment. Citizens are feeling more stressed and nervous nowadays.
This
means it is possible that a person can even get shot by a taxi driver for taking change from them.
To conclude
, I do not think that individual arming is an indispensable part of self-defence. For that reason, gun ownership permissions should be given to
people
after a high-secured procedure.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
