25 years murder-free in 'Gun Town USA'

In this article the author argues about wether more guns or fewer can prevent tragedies like the Virginia attack. He mentions that a Georgia town witnessed a dramatic fall in crime and violence after mandating residents to own firearms. In that example, in the small town of Kennesaw, the government passed an ordinance requiring every head of house to own a gun. When this ordinance required, it increased the violence and accidents.

In my opinion, requiring every person to have a gun is not a good ordinance. I think it will increase the violence and the crime rate, because there are a number of people who will use it to do bad things, fore example, stealing or killing other people. So it is better when we prohibit all people from using guns. When we do that it will make controlling bad people easy. In order to make this ordinance successful, the government should make a strong law about guns, and give high punishment to the people who have guns.
