Argument For The Prevention Of Gun Violence In Chicago

After finishing final exams, Hadiya was hanging out with her friends in a park when she, was shot to death in the 4400 block of South Oakland Avenue in Chicago. There are many other homicides like Hadiya, who have become the victims of gun violence. These innocent deaths in Chicago fuel the debate about gun laws and their use. Gun laws in Chicago are strict than any other city in the U.S but still are not able to stop fatal shots. Chicago, is still found in the flood of gun violence. It is really a controversial topic in the city. Some people use guns for self-protection. They think that use of guns is the best solution against gun violence itself.

Additionally, where there are many students in one class, a teacher’s attention just diverts to maintaining class discipline instead of coaching the students.

As in an interview, Andre Hamlin describes a guy from a gang that when, there was nothing to do from school, there was no sports activity, he and his friends use to think what should they do and then end up by thinking, let’s break-into some house.
