Dear Editor and Chief,

My name is Lince Cook. I am in the 10^th grade and I go to Early College High School in Conway, SC

I’m writing to address the huge problem of gun laws in America

I believe that gun laws in America should be less strict because no matter how strict the laws, you can’t stop anybody from getting a gun. People can counter my argument, saying that since other countries have strict gun laws, they have less crime. This is true, but we have crime in America not because are gun laws aren’t strict enough, but because people feel like they have the freedom and the right to commit these crimes. Everybody should be able to own a gun, if they are taught the proper way to use a gun.

Guns have been an American tradition ever since, we were the thirteen colonies. If the government takes away are guns, then we have lost a tradition.

Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate your help and hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Lince Cook
