Sacerdotus: Gun Control

Gun Control

In light of the recent school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut; law officials are now pushing for more "gun control." They hope to scale back the ability of people to purchase large guns.

The issue is a bit tricky. I can see the rationale in both sides.

For guns

The Constitution states we have the right to bear arms. It does not specify the size.
We have the right to bear arms because of our history as Americans. Colonists needed arms to defend themselves against the tyranny of the British armies during the revolution.
It is not fair for the government and law officials to have guns and the people remain unarmed.
Hunting is a sport and guns are needed.

Against Guns

Far too many people have died from guns.
The USA has the highest gun deaths of any nation.
Why do the people need guns if we have police and armies?
Guns in the hands of the wrong people can be extremely dangerous..

What do you think?

If you experience a home break in and are relying on only the police to defend you and your family, good luck!!!!
