GUN VIOLENCEBrought to you by: Asia Brown

January 4,2011

PROJECT QUESTIONAre guns easier to in a bad situation? I chose this question because in most crimes, a fire arm is involved.

MY RESEARCHI did research on this topic. The first article I read that there were several people were killed. 150 students were all killed by firearms.

MY RESEARCH In the second article stated that the United States has a higher rate of fatalities caused by a firearm than most other places.

WHAT DOES MY QUESTION HAVE TO DO WITH

BALTIMORE?As stated before, in many of the crimes in Baltimore, a fire arm is mostly involved. For example, if you were to hear of a robbery on television, you’re likely to hear a gun was involved.

DID I DO THAT?I did many thing to conduct my survey. First, I thought of a common problem in Baltimore city. Then I thought of something that many people are effected by. Lastly I decided to do research on my idea. So this gave me a start to a new beginning to my experiment , a survey.

Conclusion There are many things I can conclude about my data. One

thing I can conclude is that many people took the survey seriously. Another thing I can conclude is that a lot of the people that did the surveys have a community where a gun seems necessary to have a gun. It doesn’t seem safe around the community. It also seems that man of the people live in the same community.

Would I change anything about it?

I wouldn’t change it at all. I would keep it the same way it is now. I got every piece of evidence I needed for this project.

Are there any more questions?

If I could ask any more questions, I would ask questions like:

Do you feel that you need a gun? Would you move away from your

environment?
