Gun ownership do cause crimes instead of preventing them from occurring. It can lead to homicides. Examples may be children accidentally playing with the weapon and pulling the trigger or shooting the wrong person at times of danger. Despite the shooting may have been an accident, the person who owns the gun is at fault for having it in the first place. If it was not in the possession of a person in the first place, nothing would have happened. Gun ownership may show fear like it did in Kennesaw, Georgia, where the safety of the area was ranked high in the United States, but gun ownership may lead of more dangers. There was an article about having guns in schools for the safety of children. I do not think it will lead to safety of students, but more of a curious wonder among the students that may lead to chaos like getting possession of it and using it dangerously for fun.
I cannot imagine a town where gun ownership is mandatory by law, but I have read news articles stating that there are some towns that have this law. Personally, I think it is in a positive affect because of the environment of the law being enforced. Kennesaw, Georgia relatively has 33,000 people living in the area that already has the law in place and there is a town with 140 people living in western Maine considering the law to be in place. Due to the small population of the community, crimes happen less compared to big cities since there are a lot of people. (http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2013/01/are-big-cities-more-dangerous-small-ones) It is interesting that a law like this is forced in some areas, but I am not for it.
I really liked the way that you handled the topic so well, but there was a few grammatical errors that could be fixed up to make the response a little bit better. I also like how you portrayed the argument from the result in different scenarios.
