What We Wrote
      Because many innocent people die from gun-shot wounds, gun control laws should be stricter. For example, there should be requirements for getting a gun, such as being over a certain age, having no criminal record, and passing a gun-safety class. If someone commits a crime with an unlicensed gun, then that person should get jail time for the crime and for the illegal possession of the gun. He should also never be allowed to get a gun license. Guns are dangerous, so there should be stricter gun-control laws to prevent crime. By having stricter gun-control laws, society will benefit later on.
