Who decided that EVERYONE in our nation needs guns? I want to know exactly what the idea behind the making of this amendment. Ever since our founding fathers made it legal in the 2nd Amendment for citizens to "bear arms," it has made our country a much more dangerous place to live in.
What good comes from guns? The answer is absolutely nothing. Some critics may say it is for "protection" from burglars, muggers, etc. But if guns weren't sold to citizens in the first place, we wouldn't need to defend ourselves with them. Mase or a baseball bat work perfectly fine as a defense against an attacker. I personally will never buy a gun.
With guns, crimes such as robberies and rapes increase drastically. You are completely helpless if someone points a gun in your face. A gun symbolizes fear, aggression, and death. Why would we want that in our nation? Why would we want that around our familes? There is nothing scarier than the thought of death. Death can come very fast and very abrubtly just from one pull of the trigger. It can ruin lives physically and emotionally.
Anyone can get a hold of a gun in America. What happens if someone with an anger management problem gets their hands on a gun? Would you want that person around you carrying a gun, knowing that they could overreact and snap if even the slightest thing upsets them?
The United Kingdom has absolutely no firearms. Not even their law enforcement carries a gun. As a result, their crime rate is dramatically lower than ours. If it's working for them, why not us? Why don't we eliminate guns completely?
The very existance of guns makes each and every person more cautious. People make sure they lock their doors to their houses and cars. Barely anyone walks around at night in fear of an attacker. We can stop living in fear with the elimination of guns.

ReplyDeletei feel like guns were more for personal perfection. When things go to shit wouldn't you want a gun to protect yourself? Human nature exploited the potential of guns. you really can't blame it on the gun...it ultimately enables crime to happen but it is the person who performs it. Guns may make it easier but it is the person who thinks it up and they will do it one way or another. Ultimately guns can protect a person from attack. The twisted people in this world make guns seem like a hazard when they are not. i dnooo
