16、s the right to own a gun.If anyone goes to extremes in his/her views about the society,a gun violence is more likely to occur.Second,drug taking is widespread in this society.According to an official survey,many American adults admit they have once touched some kind of drug.Gun violence usually has

22、auses for the problem.In the first place,we must ruthlessly crack down on the crimes of drug trafficking,leaving no room for any kind of drug in our society.And meanwhile another chance should be offered to the addicts to stop taking drugs.In the second,we should set up some organizations,such as so

23、cial welfare services,to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.And best of all,people should be educated to see money in its true colors and make money in a legal and moral way.返回返回Main ideaDevicesMain idea of the text and devices for developing itMain idea of each part and devices for develo
