英語範文：持槍的優缺點討論作文

Nowadays, prevention of increasing criminal rates could be a thorny problem. There has been a controversial issue regarding whether police need be armed, one accepted statement is that it leads to the rise of the level of violence. Personally, I disagree with this view.

Police being armed might be an effective method that deters criminals and hence decrease the criminal rates. First, this increases the possibilities that some offenders give up the criminal minds if crime costs have risen significantly, which implies that potential offenders might consider the possible consequence to be death. In addition, elderly people could be injured accidentally by in the street. Nevertheless, this type of crimes is gradually disappearing because of the deterrent of police carrying guns.

On the other hand, with the increasing number of police with guns, it will increase the level of violence. Because for many criminal groups, being armed is a basic condition against the threat from police, while this action results in crimes to innocent citizens easily. Additionally, some police might abuse their authority subjectively. Police is likely to lose the control of emotions when confronting criminals, this may increase the rate of unnecessary death. Therefore, adopting an alternative way to deter potential criminals (such as anesthetic rifle) may be better for police enforcement.

In conclusion, although carring guns to some extent deters criminals and prevents the citizens. This will lead to inappropriate guns uses resulting from an excess of guns or even more innocent people who may gey injured when police pursue criminals.
