Gun Violence



78 percent of homicides are used by guns. Most of the time they are hand guns. The ones that are doing the killing have had previous criminal records. And most the time the ones that have been shot and killed have also had a criminal back round.60 percent of homicides are also caused by guns. 9 out of 13 studies show that the victim used a gun in his or hers own death. In the last 30 years gun sales have gone up by 50 percent. Since 1970 the homicide and suicide rate has gone up and the number of guns being made have gone up too.Gun violence in school has grown to. Everyone remembers the Columbine shootings. Were three kids that had a number ofguns and for a whole day killed many people. Of 20,000 schools 20 percent have reported a on campus gun shooting. In the past years school shootings have increased and more kids are getting killed with guns. Most of the shootings are being done by those in gangs and those with a history off violence. If we know who( those with a history of violence) is doing the shooting why do we keep sailing and giving them the guns. The more guns being made the more the death rate by guns is going to increase as well. If we want the gun violence to stop why dont we just stop making them.

Good blog overall. Awesome links to support your blog. Puncuation and spelling is correct. Capilization is capitilized in the right places.

you make a very good point that guns have been involved in many deaths. And also have increased. But you got some grammar errors.

You have a good grasp on the topic that you are alking about. You also have plenty of facts about this aswell. I would have to say that I was suprised about the percentages of the number of people killed by a gun.
