Gun Proliferation and Violence
It is so dangerous in the area where I live. I cannot play outside at night because there are shootings. When I go to my room, I hear gunshots. We need to do something to get rid of gangs because they are the ones mostly involved. They need to go to school or work so they don’t hang out and cause trouble.
