People who have access to firearms make killing easy, impersonal, and efficient which increases the lethality of crime. If gun laws are stricter, crime will decrease and many people will be safer. By letting guns  be legally purchased, we are increasing the amount of mass shootings like the Ft. Lauderdale incidents that occur every year. We are putting more people’s life at risk and you’re also putting yourself at risk by owning Firearms. We should think about the innocent people who are dying everyday.

Currently it is very easy to acquire a gun. “This makes it attainable for people with substandard records to acquire and use them.” ( http://www.raintreewriting.com).
