These figures show the number of deaths caused by people using guns.
A lot Americans believe that the U.SConstitution protects peoples right to own guns.    
Some people say that “Guns don't kill people, Americans with guns kill people” or  “cars and drunk drivers killed more people in the us than guns ever did.” Also, people say ”Nowadays, the number of crimes is increasing rapidly and society is getting more and more dangerousso we should be allowed to own guns personally to protect ourselves.”

The point is that it is easy enough to get a gun in the US. The difference between the United States and all the other country's is that other countries have never had the same accessibility or legalization of handguns, as the in the United States. Practically any idiot in the US can go into a gun shop, and buy a gun (of course, there are some rules and laws towards it, but don’t know the specifics).


I am from Korea and guns are illegal in Korea. However, police and soldiers(under military drills)  can own guns. Also, a few people who have a license by law can have air rifles. So the number of some people killed with guns is lower than the US. Because it is related with by police, soldiers and those who have guns legitimately. Of course, there are murders by people who own guns illegally.

I think that guns make it "easier" to kill people, thus people get killed more when guns are at hand, both accidentally and intentionally. Many people are shot by people who are under the influence of alcohol, their easy access to a gun while inebriated leads to the death of others. They are often not in their right minds. So we could also say alcohol use and abuse plus easy access to firearms leads to many senseless killings.

In conclusion, I am against owning guns.
