Growing up in a hometown where gun violence is the cause of most deaths in my city is disappointing. I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. Honestly, I believe that we have the right to bear arms but to a certain extent. In my hometown innocent people are not losing their lives because the person being the trigger does not feel safe, they are losing their lives because these guns are being put in the wrong hands. From gang bangers, to drug dealers, etc. A mother should not have to lose her child because they are caught in a middle of a gang war on their way home from school. It's disappointing that I can sit here and write about this right now.
Two weeks ago it was a headline on the news that Chicago went a whole 24hrs without anybody getting shot. Everyone from my hometown were sharing it on their social medias as if it was a celebration. Really it was an indication on how bad gun violence really if out there.We need to put the gun down and keep the peace , Chicago is depending on it.
it rally is a sad thing, gun violence should not be so normalized that when there isn't any gun violence happen its a cause for celebration. Guns in this modern world don't really mix well and something needs to be done asap. Guns should be very limited and should also be used as a last resort when it comes down to cops as well
