Controversial issues: Gun laws in America

Blog one: Guns Kill!

I think guns in America should be banned, not 100% but most of them. I think Mr Obama should be putting more restrictions down on who and what type of guns the people of America are allowed. There have been multiple shootings and people are dying yet guns are still allowed to dangerous people. 
10 people were killed in a shooting at a community college in Oregon and it won't be the last time that it will happen. Australia has banned guns, they gathered up and destroyed guns. Literally. Obama has praised Australia for their act towards guns. Can you believe that? I certainly can't. He is allowing guns to rule the country; saying things need to be done to change the impact guns are having but not acting on it. 

I have heard people say that allowing more people to have guns would be better and if it happens again then they can protect themselves. However, how is having more guns going to be more helpful to stop guns? If more firearms are allowed the the risk is going to be higher and people will be in more danger. Not everyone knows how to handle a gun. There are people who are hired to protect those who can not protect themselves. People are not guns, we do not need to rely on bullets to protect ourselves or others. They are just making fights that wouldn't be happening if they were not here. Is keeping them really helping anyone? 

Think logically people. 

How is the general public meant to be relied on if police can't even use their guns properly? The police! Even those who are trained to use guns (E.g. police) can't always handle it. There have been many police shootings where they have killed an innocent person. Many cases have been recorded where police are using the guns when they are not needed or they are shooting people when the other person was no real harm. How are they helping? Truly.

Personally i have never used a gun and i wish to never have nor need one as i hope that those who are meant to protect and serve the county do their job. I hope that all my followers take on my points and if you do own a gun go careful and use it respectfully. No one should have to go through what those family's are going through because guns are not being properly.

Blog two: Saving ourselves

I disagree. I don't think the guns are the main reason. I think it's more to do with the people who are getting a hold of the guns. I think you are kind of right about needing restrictions but only about who is getting a hold of the gun. Guns allow people to feel secure. They can protect themselves within their houses. I feel more secure when i have a gun. It doesn't have to be on me just near me. A gun in the house gives me ease. I know that i can't physically defend myself. They allow those who are physically weaker to protect themselves from others. The police are not there all the time. We should be able to look after ourselves like adults do and are expected to do.

If guns were illegal it is really going to stop people from getting one? If someone really wanted or needed a gun im sure they would be able to find somewhere to get it. I think it would be better if they were legal. If they were legal then people would be able to protect themselves and records could be kept for those who buy guns. Put restrictions on who buys the gun. Have background checks for each and every person and make them sign contracts, limit them. If they get more than two guns or big ones when they aren't need then keep an eye on what they do. Don't get rid of them because few people are making bad decisions with them. If they are suspicious you could tag them, maybe even remove their guns. Take more precautions. These mass shootings should not be happening as often as they do. Or they shouldn't be happening at all.

If the only way to protect the country while keeping guns is to put in more restrictions the they should do it. A massive part of the US is about guns. People have gun shows! They do competitions! It's like a sport to some people.

 Places that have stricter gun laws actually have higher crime rates, so, who says more gun laws will stop gun violence? The NRA president said “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun”.  Even the NRA President agrees that people need guns! We need guns to protect ourselves! To give us security! 

Thank you for reading. Maybe you agree with some of the points or maybe you don't. If you have a gun then good for you but don't take advantage of the power that it holds.
