The Cause of Crime

In todays society we have seen the value of life diminish. In abortion as well as in gun violence. Many politicians have said in order to rid our society of gun violence we should impose laws to make it harder for criminals to purchase guns. The only problem I see in this is that criminals do not obey the law that is why they are criminals. Instead what these laws do is they eat away at the right for the law abiding citizens to purchase firearms to protect themselves and their families. Now the answer to the violence we have all seen take place concerning murders is that we should teach our children the value of human life. Teach them that they may also teach their children so that they will have a brighter  future. Also as we teach our children we must deal with the criminals that are so violent that they must be imprisoned for the rest of their lives by imposing stricter punishments. No more should these rapists and murderers be aloud to live at the expense of the tax payer money. If a human is so depraved and dangerous that he must be put in prison for life why not sentence him to hang and so release our society of these heinous people. Gun control is not the answer. Look at all the countries that have imposed gun control, yes the gun violence has plummeted but the murderers use knives instead. Should these countries impose knife control not at all for the criminal will use a screw driver as many have. Instead allow the law abiding citizens to arm themselves and protect themselves. In the countries that due arm their citizens with firearms such as Switzerland their crime rate is the lowest in the world. In conclusion let us not remove our rights to defend our selves but instead arm our selves against those who mean us harm to us and our families, and let us teach our children values and the value of life so that our future remains bright.

  1. I was agreeing with you until the part about hanging criminals. Yes, I think we should enforce stricter punishments to subdue criminals, but if we kill them, then we are stooping to their level. We would become the criminals in society. I totally agree with you when you said that we should teach children about the value of human life. I think that is the core issue. Children are not taught to value life. When they reach a mature age, they will believe anything that any one tells them. A local criminal could tell them that killing is ok and that is how the cycle starts. We need to focus on the children and teach them how not to become criminals.
