Weblog Assignment #2

I visited www.CNN.com/US/9901/02/murder.rate/ this site tell about the US murder rate. The title of the article is overall the US murder rate down, but youth gun killings up. Young people still kill, while firearm killings and gun killings. Percentage continues to increse. Gun killings by young people 18 to 24 increased from about 5,000 in 1980 to more than 7,500 in 1977. The report also found that from 1976 to 1997, 85 percent of white murder victims were killed by whites and 94 percent of black victims were killed by blacks.




My opinion

This is a big problem because youth gun killers when they think of the gun, it is not dangerous, it is just our toy. They need more relasionship about gun and it has be clear education. So I think the gun has to be allowed for policeofficers and a dangerous job. Gun is necessary, but if use gun to much and abuse maybe the world will be crazy. It is true.
