  Passage 1 of 2
Next Passage >>
     Many innocent people die from gun-shot wounds. Gun-control laws should be stricter. There should be more requirements for getting a gun. For example, people should be over a certain age. In addition, they should have no criminal record. They should also have to pass a gun-safety class. If someone commits a crime with an unlicensed gun, then that person should get jail time for the crime. He should also get jail time for the illegal possession of the gun. He should also never be allowed to get a gun license. Guns are dangerous. There should be stricter gun-control laws to prevent crime. By having stricter gun-control laws, society will benefit later on.
