When it comes to guns, I do not know anything because I was not raised around them or even near them. I can tell you that with the media and from what I have read from the newspapers, that the guns in the hands of unworthy persons are getting off hand.
The purpose for the invention of guns was to help make things easier during hunting of animals and also for the protection of people to prevent excess crime. The guns are only to be carried by the law officers. But, due to the development of the country and the introduction of technology, the purpose and the use of guns have deviated from its original purpose. Take for instance, many people in a particular neighborhood can carry guns in their pocket and just use them any time to kill or threaten people in any situation. These are the necessary information that one needs to look into and look for a better solution.
The legalization of guns in the America has a lot of benefits but as everything in this world, there are always advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, the disadvantages are the ones we most likely witness in our everyday life. In the media, newspaper or even on the Internet, different varieties of gun incidents tend to be the cause of the day. If it is not the murder of a victim, it is either the use of guns to threaten people into surrendering for a particular action that the offender has in mind: either rape or theft.
I am not trying to say that the use of guns in the America is bad but come to think of it what is really happening in this world we are living in when we talk of protecting our lives with the weapon that can serve as a means to successful protection. Nowadays, there are several news been heard about kids who shot classmate or schoolmate. The question is “Where do all these kids get all these guns in their possession?” Most of the guns are from home. Some students were brought up with guns. By then, they know were the guns are being kept, whether in the closet or in the shoe box. What are all these guns doing in the closet or in the bedroom dresser or under the pillow? This is the question, I believe, we should be asking ourselves. For the answer to this question I cannot say but everyone can answer to the question according to his or her own point of view.
As for me, I believe that Civilians tend to purchase guns for protection. This is the protection as regards to life and property. Although there are police officers or the law regulators who are supposed to be the carriers of these guns, it is not the same case in this new computer age. What do you think will happen when everyone is carrying a gun? I cannot even begin to imagine what the consequences will be. I shudder whenever I start to think about the damage that may tend to incur. Or what will happen when the guns fall into the hands of the wrong person? I will not go into answering that because I believe everyone knows the answer to the question: terrorism, nightmares and frequent death incidents.
You may begin to think that through out the paper, I have been writing about the dangers of guns and its disadvantages and you start to ask; Are there no good thing about guns? Certainly, there are a lot of very good benefits of having guns. One of them is that gun is used in sports. Take for instance, it is used to notify swimmers when to start swimming contest or even the athlete when to start their race. Also guns are used for hunting activities. The hunters have a particular gun type to use during hunting. Guns also are used to protect people during office work, as we all know. These and many more are the benefits we value guns.
Finally, I will like to say that indeed guns in the America have been a major problem that needs further study and more survey to see what people actually think about the use of guns.
