Kadeem Blackwood, a 15yr old boy who went by the name of Snipez was killed by gun violence. He most likely died because of where he lived, in Derby, a place where teenage gangs organize. One of Kadeems cousins said, "He was a boy that wouldn't cause any trouble, but would stand up for himself". He was shot in the chest most likely over territory between teenage gangs. The violence of the teenage gangs has escilated.
This story about a young boy dying shows us just what can happen when guns are in the wrong hands. These teenage gangs are probably the number one cause of death of kids from guns. This is a good example of how private owning of a firearm can lead to more violence. Though this is not true in every case, it holds true in most of the gun violence among kids and teenagers. This is one reason that I think they should have limits on who should or shouldn't have a firearm. Just so that those with a bad history of violence cannot get their hands on a gun, preventing things like what happened to Kadeem Blackwood.
