Gun Control

On the subject of gun control I think that everyone should have the right to bear arms, but there should be closer tabs on who owns a gun. With a stronger enforcement towards gun control will help reduce gun violence. I also think that if you have been convicted of a felon before, and you are caught with a firearm, you should be arrested. That’s not being safe that’s just being dumb. I think its ok for certain people to own guns if they are protecting themselves or their family. It is also ok for people to own guns who go hunting, because that’s how some people provide food for their family during the winter. Going beyond my opinion on gun control, are my feelings about specific gun situations. For example, if I was to walk into a store and I were to see someone with a pistol in a holster on there side, it would probably make me really uncomfortable because I wouldn’t know what there intentions were. I don’t think that guns should be the blame for school shootings because guns don’t kill people, people kill people. The reason on why the media blames these guns for school shootings is because no one is willing to take responsibility for their actions, so they have to blame the object. The gun doesn’t pull the trigger itself, it’s the choice of the owner whether they want to pull it or not. There have been many situations where the parents didn’t realize that their children were having different types of problems because they pay little attention to their kids lives. Therefore the gun is not responsible for the kids actions, it’s the lack of responsibility from there parents.
