==It should be illegal for people to carry guns, if they are not in the Law Enforcement. Recently I've read an article about the [|Trayvon Martin case], about Zimmerman (who is not a cop), had a gun and shot an innocent boy. Because of this, I believe that it should be illegal to carry guns if you are not a cop. I also believe that if people carry guns, then there will be a higher crime rate. Also people that carry guns illegally commit more crimes and more robbery. Another reason that I am against guns if you are not a cop, is because if people carry guns illegally, then there will be a higher gang violence.== ==The first reason why I am against carrying guns if you are not a cop, is because if people carry guns and they are not the police, there will be crime rate.[| In 2005, 11,346 people] were killed by firearm violence. Also about 950 Hispanic youth and 600 white people died from gun homicide. So this means almost about 1550 people die each year from gun violence.== ==The second reason why I am against guns if you are not in the Law Enforcement, is because people that carry guns are likely to use them to commit more crime and more murder. Guns are used to kill more than 80 people. Also people use it illegally more than 3,000 times. There was an event where a congress woman, [|Gabrielle Giffords], was shot in her head by a man who wasn't a cop. Other people who was involved in the incident was nine year old Christina- Taylor Green, who was killed, and a federal judge.==

==Lastly, I think that it should be illegal for people to carry guns if they are not cops because if people carry guns, then there will be a higher gang violence. In October 2009, two policemen were killed by gang members. Twelve people were killed that day. Two people were civilians and the other ten were gang members.==

==Some may say that people need to protect themselves while out on the street at night. I disagree because however people can carry other weapons with them while out at night. But, while[| people are using guns to protect themselves], people are getting hurt more and things turn out more deadly.==

==Another statement that a person may say is that people use guns not only for protection, but to go hunting. [|65% to 55%] use guns to go hunting and not for protection. But, these guns can also be used to do illegal things and not just hunting.==
