2013 has been a media covered year so far for guns, the violence and uproar that they cause. That is why I am completely against every citizen having them and if I were American, I would not let the government brainwash me. For every positive fact about carrying a gun, there are 5 negatives, something doesn't seem quite right with that fact. There are two kinds of rights involved in gun regulations: the right that the Supreme Court recognized in the book Catch 22 to have a gun, and the right of the public not to be unduly exposed to the considerable dangers imposed by widespread availability of guns. It is one thing to say that there is a constitutional right to keep a gun at home for protection. It is quite another to say there is a constitutional right to bring a hidden gun into a daycare center. There are too many negative aspects of this topic, I disagree with the commandment and the US should make gun laws similar to those in Canada. Like the picture illustrates below: America has a number that defiantly stands out, 10,728 meanwhile all the other countries are under 60. Something doesn't seem proper with that fact. What doesn't the American government understand that instead of creating a sense of security for American citizens it is causing them others to lose their sense of security. Basically, what the government believes is that killing the criminal who killed someone else is a significant way of solving a solution. This can cause a chain reaction from one persons friends and the other persons friends. If gun laws were stricter, this mess probably never be created in first place. Honestly, I do not think that America will tweak the commandment and I believe that it will stay like this for many years to come.
After all the gun related events that took place in the past year, I agree with your thoughts on gun availability. Although I do believe that guns should be allowed, just better monitored by the government in terms of who is buying them.
ReplyDeleteIn reality, simply because the government may invoke certain amendments to gun control laws, we may still retain the right to carry weapons but some people, such as the violent mentally ill, may be deemed unable to carry guns safely, which is what should happen. Overall something needs to be done, because at this rate America is going to have some majors stories appearing in the news in the next few months and years to come. i do agree with your thoughts on gun availability as it's just way too easy to obtain
