Gun control is a law concerning firearms. A year

was. It seemed lots of people were fighting it so
it must have been bad. I want to show people it is
bad. That is what my essay is about. The

fighting crime by registering guns so that the
police would know if a gun was involved in a
crime, whose gun it was. The downside to this is,
what criminals are going to regi...

better chance of defending him or herself from a
weapon other than firearms. I was born in Tokyo,
