Satirical Solution Outline

Part 1: The Problem

A. The problem in our community is clearly gun violence. America is definitely a top nation

when it comes with guns and lethal weapons. It is one of the few countries which people

always have the right to carry a gun. Gun violence is a huge cause of deaths in the United

States with around 37, 000 kills each year, and more than coming from injuries. There has

been a collection of mass shootings, horrific suicides, and bloody homicides over the last 40

years of American history.

Part 2: Who the Problem Affects

A. Gun violence can affect anyone at any time. Whether you are the victim or someone related

to the victim this kind of brutal violence is going to affect you. However, the main target

audience affected by this issue are the victims and their friends and family.

B. Individuals who are affected by gun violence may encounter pressure, gloom, tension, and

post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The impacts of this damage stretch out to the

survivors as well as to witnesses, neighbors, and each one of the individuals who love them.

C. These people have lost loved ones. Mothers losing their children, friends losing their

comrades, Partners losing the love of their life, and neighbors losing…. well…their

neighbors. Not only that but many lose their lives to mindless murder from the bullets and

shells dispensed by powerful firearms. Many are lost too soon and in such an unfair manner.
Part 3: The Satirical Solution

A. Obviously, the best solution is to replace all guns with buckets of rocks. I mean every single

gun (including the cops and military).

B. The way to implement this method is very simple. Create a petition get many supporters to

sign off on it. With this petition signed by many bring it to a local government and be

prepared for any questions and how to improve the idea. Also, make sure to have some

supporters in case you need to testify. Then, replace every gun no matter who owns it with

buckets of rocks.

C. This solution will never cause issues such as school shootings, massacres, and police

brutality. However, it comes at a price. See if no one can own a gun in the community and

instead must have buckets of rock to protect, it can cause vandalism and even torture.

Furthermore, with the right protection police will have a hard time dealing with criminals and

can get out numbered and outsmarted.

Part 4: The Real Solution

A. If you want the boring solution then just makes guns harder to get which is by having the

government raise the price on it and the buyer needs to have a license which only seven

states require a buyer to have. If you can make a gun cost as much as a car then clearly

purchases on a gun can go down. Moreover, for the authorities and veterans make them carry

rubber bullets when the situation is not sensitive. Finally, have an anti-theft device on these

weapons such as a feature that will keep the safety on until someone turns off the safety on

their phone, which sounds like the use of Bluetooth.

B. The steps to implement this method are the same as my satirical solution, however, it is way

more understandable and has a higher chance of getting passed. The government can also add
 extra details to this proposition such as age restriction, limitations on attachments, and even

create subscription-typed contracts with the buyer. Beyond this, officials will have to carry

rubber pallets and less lead ammunition. The government would also have to install

Bluetooth features and a GPS tracker that will affect the safety on these weapons which if

broken the gun cannot fire and tracks the gun if stolen. This is not as hard as people think due

to how much technology has involved. Not only that, but there should be a person at each

gun store giving the history of the type of gun. This a reference to the PSA video created by

the PreventGunViolence YouTube channel. The video is titled “Guns with History.” The

solution is just gun control with more strict laws.

C. This solution should decrease rates on murder, suicides, and homicides and create a safer

environment. The increase in price on firearms should make it harder for civilians to attain

one. Furthermore, the idea of having someone go back and remind you of the worst things

that have happened with a gun can make people rethink their decisions. The rubber bullets

will make dire situations much safer and relieve everyone from losing something precious to

them. And overall, just make owing a gun much safer and less likely to be used in the wrong

scenario.
