In Canada the deaths by gun crimes is a lot less than Americas. Canada’s death by gun crimes is 165 where as America’s is 11,127. The Reason why Canadians live in such peace is because of the media it doesn’t show people getting killed every day on the news like America does. The Canadians feel so safe that they even leave their doors open. So what explanation is their maybe Canada don’t have as much guns but Canada have 20million guns in their homes but the death rate is still far less compared to America’s
Charlton Heston used the excuse that: “American history was so bloody and brutal, that’s why we are like this today”, that’s not correct because Germany’s history was much more brutal (Hitler’s Reign), UK’s history was also more brutal (War with Germany), but yet their death rate is far less than Americas. It’s true that American history was bloody but that’s not the reason why Americans are like this Today.
America relies on recognised actors like Charlton Heston (“the president of The Nation Rifle association”). The national fire association think he cares for America and wants what’s best for them. Charlton Heston did not care when Michael Moore told him about Kayla’s death, he simply just looked at Michael Moore and when Michael Moore asked him to apologise to the parents of Kayla he just got up and walked off not wanting to hear anymore about Kayla. This just shows why Charlton Heston is not a caring man but if he was to imagine that was his daughter he wouldn’t use the same response as he used in the interview with Michael Moore.
Americans are used to guns and its part of their upbringing, there’s advertisement on TV about guns, there’s comedians making jokes about guns, there’s shops and supermarket selling bullets (K-Mart), you can buy bullets even in a barber while having a haircut as Michael Moore showed, it’s even an American leisure to have guns and to go out and shoot about. There was a bank advertisement on a newspaper that claimed if you make an account you would get a free gun from the bank, Also you do not need no proof that you are mentally disabled you could just tell them and they would agree. Therefore someone could just make an account once they have claimed their gun simply point it at the bank owner and ROB THE BANK!!
A lot of Americans put the blame on others rather than admitting the fact that they are the ones influencing gun crime and the government still hasn’t resolved this problem as we see in the news On a Regular basis Gun Crime in America At Large. Some Americans blame Marilyn Manson for violence because of his Disturbing Lyrics “when the American president is throwing bombs overseas, now who would make a bigger impact on Americans George bush or a rock n roll singer?” Americans also blame a lot of the gun crimes on black people, a lot of people just accused black people when a gun crime happened this causes racism and also Americans blamed violent video games, movies etc for the reason of so many shootings throughout the history of America’s Gun Era.
The American Media also spread false information via TV, radio, newspaper, internet etc, they show a lot of fighting, killing, people getting raped, people getting robbed to breed fear so more people feel to urge to buy a gun to protect themselves. They show black people getting involved in crimes in movies to put the idea in people’s heads that black people are the bad guys, they kill and get involved in crimes and want the viewers to believe that.
In my Conclusion I think that guns should not be allowed. I think they don’t make people feel safer but in fact it makes people more scared and wanting to use it more. As Torn Mauser said “something is wrong in this country when a child can grab a gun so easily and shoot a bullet into the middle of a child’s face, as my son experienced” and he also said “it has no useful purpose”. They should ban guns in America as it’s not right for a teenager to carry a gun and walk on the streets.
