409 Words2 Pages
We the people should stand up against gun violence. Life is a natural right. Killing is against the law, so why is it we give the "proper authorities" the right to kill those they feel threatened by? Why is it that it 's ok to kill someone if they did something against the rules? Killing them won 't change anything! It will only get rid of them, and now when same situation occurs again you will do the same thing? It will be a cycle of death. The amount of people killed by the police is way to high. I don 't think it is right for those who enforce the law to break the law. It is devastating the amount of death that goes on because of a simple solution that can be solved by just talking.
