We Need More Gun Control Laws
More gun control is needed
More and more deaths and injuries are caused by guns every day.
Having more gun control laws can help reduce the amount of deaths per year. For example,"About 200 Americans go to emergency rooms with gun shot wounds."(David Frum,Daily Beast and CNN contributor).
More gun control leads to fewer suicides.
Between 2000 and 2010 61% of gun deaths were related to suicides. For example,"When gun ownership went down in the United States, overall suicide rates went down."(International Review of Law and Economics). That's a lot of people we can save because it is less likely someone will use a knife or other weapon to commit suicide.
Guns don't kill people, people kill people.That's why there should be more laws on gun.

Tragedy at Columbine High School
These kids brought their guns to the school guns cannot float and shoot who they want to shoot. The 13 people they killed were killed by the use of guns yes, but lets really stay focused on who carried these guns.
