Why should people have ownership of a gun? Isn’t it obvious that guns are dangerous! Anyone can shoot anyone and cover it up as “Self-defence”. Guns kill people. In the wrong hands a gun is deadly. Having guns just creates an atmosphere of fear. It grows a culture for a need for protection, power, fear and violence. You do more damage to yourself and the world by having guns. Why would you continue to allow guns if it’s the biggest killer to American citizens per year? Why allow guns when the death toll is rising?

When will people wake up and see that guns are the worst kind of defence? When will people see that nothing good comes out of keeping a gun? When will they realise they MUST be BANNED! Do people not care about all the innocents that have died by the hand of guns and their crazy yielders? If people only want and keep guns because they are scared of being attacked why don’t they just learn self-defence instead? People like to keep guns because it makes them feel safer and more powerful, if you hurt them they can kill you. Now how is that in anyway ok? That just spreads the message of its okay to kill people as long as it was in “self-defence” how is that defence? It is violence plain, clear and simple. Guns are a weapon not a defence. People come up with excuses like they are “protecting their property” but how is that a good justification for yielding a lethal weapon. You shouldn’t have to kill and individual in defence of it. How many people who own guns actually know how to use them properly and safely? How many people took a gun safety class before they bought them? How many people have used guns before? How many people even have a license? How many people know how to maintain a gun? To take bullets out?...
