One third of households own one, yearly 35,000 people, approximately 87 per day, are killed by firearms. Gun attacks are five times more likely to result in death than knife attacks. In three years, gun deaths may become the leading cause of non-natural death in the U.S. exceeding auto accidents. We'll solve this problem, and end gun deaths by abolishing private gun ownership. I think that Congress should ban the private use of handguns.
Handguns kill thousands of people each year, with homicides, incidental shootings and robberies.
For instance, there were about 1,400 incidental shootings alone in 1990. But the fact is people are still dying from the misuse of these fatal weapons. First, the Second Amendment of the Constitution does not guarantee the right to own a gun. It no where says that you can possess a gun for target shooting or anything else, you don't need to use it unless the country or state is being challenged. Gun control has worked in other states and countries.
