I am doing a persuasive speech on gun control, and I need a transition from main point 1 "People with guns who have unstable feelings or tempers can lead to violent consequences very easily." to "Guns Pose such a significant risk to children."

IF EVERY ONE WAS TAUGHT HOW TO USE A GUN JUST LIKE WE ARE ALL TAUGHT TO SWIM A GUN WOULD BE "NO BIG DEAL"
I GREW UP WITH GUNS BEHIND HALF THE DOORS IN THE HOUSE AND WE NEVER BOTHERED THEM AS CHILDREN....UNLESS WE NEEDED THEM FOR A SKUNK, RABID ANIMAL, RATTLE SNAKE ETC
WE DID NOT SHOOT OTHERS OR OURSELVES....
PEOPLE MAY BE UNSTABLE BUT IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO HARM SOME ONE THEY COULD GRAB A KNIFE OR ICE PICK...ARE WE GOING TO REGISTER THOSE ALSO....

Maybe you can discuss the dangers of having a gun in the home, or someone having a gun in the neighborhood.
Not only can a gun be misused during emotional outbursts, or by unstable individuals, but the mere presence of a gun (knowing or seeing that there is a gun nearby) can stimulate greater fear and aggressiveness among "normal" people.
As such having parents, relatives, or neighbors who own and carry guns exposes children to greater risks of injury.

Think about violent behavior of OTHER human beings!
