Mayors come together to stop illegal gun use
Gun violence has been a daily headline for newspapers and newsrooms for to long. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino stated that mayors of approximately 100 cities have come together to put an end to illegal gun use. Everyday I look at the newspaper or CNN is on the T.V. there is always a story about murder that involved guns. This needs to stop because to many innocent lives are being lost. If there were more stick penalties for owning or selling an illegal gun many lives could be saved every year.

This issue has been in many headlines throughout the years because the government cannot decide on the punishment of being caught selling or owning illegal guns but they cannot come to a consensus of how to punish them. I believe, even if they do striken the punishment, there are still going to be many who buy and sell illegal guns. With a possible small decrease in this market, I don't think the death rate is going to decrease; there are still many deaths with legal guns.
