what if families did not have to bury a
loved one because of gun violence don’t
you think I would reveal more peaceful
my name is coumba D Allen I’m in the
fourth grade and I definitely want a
if you leave a gun out then the youth
can get the gun and hurt themselves or
someone else I have a friend whose
brother was shot accidentally at their
house what if that was me it makes me
feel scared that I could just as easily
be me
in 2010 4828 young people ages 10 to 24
where victims of a gun related homicide
each year we have to pay 16 billion
dollars for medical and work lost cost
just because of guns on an average day
91 Americans are killed with guns guns
can also be involved in a shooting crime
assault or a suicide attack
I don’t maybe successfully using
self-defense
even when they are not fired they’re
present the evidence shows that their
presence in a home makes a person feel
more vulnerable not less instead of
keeping owners safe from harm studies
show that the gun in the home place of
their owners and their families a
traitorous I want people to put away the
guns until they actually need so that a
lot of people won’t get killed we need
to determine whether or not we’re going
to stop them from getting shot gun if
you shoot somebody with a gun accident
or not you could go to jail for the rest
of your life
I don’t think we should have guns unless
there’s a present danger thank you very
attention thank you [Applause]
