Witty Profiles
The 2nd Amendment has as of recently become a huge issue, and the debate is whether or not to ban guns. Instead of writing a long essay, I'm going to make a few statements.
A: Bad people will always find a way to get guns, whether or not they are banned. It's called the Black Market.
B: The media covers mass shootings like this so much, it's no wonder to me that these shootings keep occurring. They want fame.
C: If guns are put in the hands of law-abiding citizens, who have taken safety courses on how to handle these situations, then crimes such as the recent shooting could be stopped much more quickly. Fact: In Switzerland, 1 out of two citizens has a gun, and they have the lowest crime rate in the world.
The Constitution is still a live document that permits these very
real rights that we as Americans can live by. If that right is
stripped from us, then the rest of the Constitution could be
vulnerable; furthermore, being deemed a dead document.
Do you understand what will come of that?

omg yes!!!!!!!! finally someone who understands these simple facts and isn't blinded by the fact that it was children this time. yes i understand the shooting is tragic and i'm praying for their families and everyone else effected. however if you look at how many shootings have occured recntly none of them have gotten as much gun hate as this one has. another fact is that these guns were obtained by a mentally unstable person who toture his own mother to get her to unlock the safe where she securely kept them.

Still, I'm beligan, and we have a ban on all weapons. The only ones allowed to carry a gun are those with special permits due to their jobs (cops etc.) We haven't had a shooting in over 20 years... Not because people don't have guns (we even have an illegal rifle) but because it's impossible to get ammo. You can say that it's indeed not the gun, yet the man behind it that is the murderer, but if the man doesn't have a gun or ammo, he couldn't have done it in the first place.
Just my opinion though...
