The effect of guns

The opinion I will be writing about is gun violence and how it affects people, especially victims and families of the victims. I care for this issue because no one should ever lose their life to a gun or know anyone who lost their lives to gun violence. My opinion on guns is that they should be limited and not many people should have access to guns. Now others could say “how could others protect themselves and how could the police protect the people”. My answer to that is there are much better and non-lethal approaches for the matter. Gun violence leaves many families in sadness and in grief, these families also lose a lot of money paying for the grave and the funeral of the deceased.
