Debate: U.S Gun control
Posted: 14 Jan 2013, 21:37
Now, I'm not sure if someone has already posted about this topic, but I don't really care
Anyways, let's get serious here, I know a lot of you have probably heard of all the gun control laws going around, banning the right to possess, sell, or manufacture firearms, ever since Columbine, Colorado, and the Connecticut shootings, gun control laws have been discussed severely. But I'm not here to inform you about these laws, only to see what you guys think of them, do you agree or disagree.
Now, I disagree, not only because I think killing and all that is horrible, but because the fact that how would people protect themselves if they were to see a home intruder, criminal, etc. etc. But also because much like the Prohibition era, gangs, criminals, etc. will always find ways to get firearms, and if they were to get a hold of them how would the public defend themselves? Now I'm sure some of you have heard the phrase: 'Guns are what kill people.' Don't believe that nonsense, it's the personnel carrying the weapon, not the weapon, plus it will always be the state of mind that the criminal is in to be willing to end someone's life. Never is it the weapon that kills, only the person.
Now before I close this off I just ask of one request, for those of you who disagree with my say in this, please don't treat me or anyone else different for their saying on this, plus, let's try and keep this discussion on the forum please. Thanks for reading this wall of text
