My Topic
For project three, my topic was why gun control is necessary for safety. Guns are responsible for a large amount of deaths that occur each year, and the lack of gun control laws only increases the gun death rate. Some states within America have very strong gun control laws, and lower death rates than the other states due to the increased safety brought by these gun restrictions. However, there are still states with very weak gun control laws and very high death rates. Creating gun laws such as requiring licensing, permits, and restricting the sales of firearms and ammunition would largely decrease the amount of gun deaths and injuries by making it more difficult for dangerous people to use guns.
Art: For art, I analyzed why guns are unsafe in a home with children and how gun control laws could make homes safer. Many people in America own guns and keep them loaded and out in the open where children have easy access to them. This results in children dying from gun incidents, all because the firearms weren't kept in a safe place. In my product, I showed the reasoning behind why guns are unsafe and why gun control laws would help reduce gun deaths. Guns are not safe for children as they are unaware of how to use guns safely. Gun control laws prohibiting firearms from being accessible in any way to children would help prevent the consequences of young children getting their hands on guns like unintentional shootings, suicides, and more. If there were more laws stating that firearms must be kept away and unloaded in homes, the chance of children accidentally harming themselves or others with guns would be taken away.
History: For my history product, I analyzed why gun control is necessary for safety in America. Many deaths in America are caused by guns whether it be suicide by gun or homicide by gun. For my final product, I wrote a magazine article on gun control. I showed reasoning within this product by writing about how and why gun control laws would make America safer. Gun control isn't taking away all guns; instead, it is laws made and enforced to restrict gun and ammunition sales to make it harder for the wrong people to get their hands on guns and use them in harmful ways. In order to prevent gun violence from being such a large cause of death, gun control laws restricting sales on guns and ammunition, requiring background checks, and requiring permits for gun ownership. These would all help lower the rates of gun suicides, gun homicides, and school shootings by preventing dangerous people from getting guns to use them in harmful ways.
English: For the English portion of my project, I analyzed the reasoning behind why stricter gun laws would make America safer. Gun control laws vary from state to state in America, causing some states to be more prone to gun violence than others. It has been proven that the states with less gun laws have more gun violence and gun deaths than the states with stricter gun laws. Creating laws that require background checks before purchasing firearms, permits for carrying firearms, and restricting the sales of guns and ammunition would make it harder for dangerous people to purchase guns and use them in dangerous ways, making America safer from gun violence and gun deaths. Within my product, I showed the reasoning behind why stricter gun laws are necessary in America within the interview questions and answers that I came up with within the magazine article that I wrote.
