U.S. Handgun Law

Mar 19, 2008

I don’t usually go off topic, but I wanted to voice my opinion about the “individual right to bear arms” that is currently being debated in the Supreme Court this week.

I believe that all guns should be banned. Period! They’re the reason we have murders and why this country is a bit messed up. Yes, I said it. I learned how to shot a gun when I was young but that doesn’t mean I think everyone should have the right to own one. It doesn’t make any sense and I’m really sad to see people fighting to keep the law the way it currently is for the mere sake of protecting what we’ve always believed to be our given right as a citizen. Well, the wording of the constitution has always been interpreted incorrectly. What they are really fighting for is the continued murder of police officers and citizens around our country each day.

Everyone has their opinion. Do I think that banning guns will ever happen? Nope, and that’s just really too bad – we’d be doing everyone in this country a great service by getting rid of them completely.

I’d be very curious to know what your opinions are, especially those of you living outside the U.S.
