Citizen Topic 2

           For this topic I want to talk about Guns. As a citizen that is living in Los Angeles, CA, I feel that gun laws here are really strict. Soon enough you will have to get a permit for just buying the bullets itself. It is really hard to get a gun, especially in the Los Angeles County. I believe that at this point, California is stripping away the gun rights from the law abiding citizens. Many people believe that taking away guns completely will drop gun violence. If anything it is only going higher. In Ireland when gun control passed, the gun violence increased a few years after this passed. Especially the case for Chicago, they have one of the strictest gun control in america and gun violence there is horrible. In March 1, 2017 Chicago had 766 homicides, more than Los Angeles and New York. If anything, the government is arming the thieves, gangs, and murders with gun than the law abiding citizens of america.
          For those that don't know, criminals don't follow laws, that's what they do. They feel that the laws are being passed doesn't apply to them. The only thing that will stop criminals from committing more harm to communities is citizens with guns. There is more citizens than there will ever be police men or any other authorized personal with a gun. The average response time for a cop to get to the scene is ten minutes. Anything can happen within those ten minutes. Now it only takes about two seconds to pull out a gun. This can apply to any citizen that is around in any danger such as runners, store owners, taxi drivers, teachers, and many others. Thing is that danger can happen at any time and when that happens, you need to be ready.
