Yes, I DO believe that most people don't deserve guns but what I DON'T believe is that we should blame the gun for all the gun violence that goes on. Rather we should blame the suspect for having had the audacity to go out and buy the gun in the first place. If there's one thing I learned from tragedies such as Sandy Hook, The Pulse, and the Nashville school shooting it's that banning guns is NOT the answer. Yes, gun restrictions are acceptable. But some gun bans are not. For example, you can't legally ban a police officer from carrying a Glock if that's what he wants to carry. And you can't ban a homeowner from protecting themselves with a Beretta. But you also cannot allow felons or the mentally ill to purchase a firearm in order to cause bodily harm or even death. If you allow this to happen, the blood will be on YOUR hands. (no pun intended). And before you get all triggered, (once again, no pun intended), hear me out. I don't WANT another tragedy to happen. I only want gun owners to keep their guns. And I also want legislation to keep them out of the hands of felons and the mentally ill. I don't even trust myself with a gun. But if we ARE gonna rightfully own our guns, we must know what to do with them and why. We can't just go around shooting people whenever we're pissed off or depressed. And we can't automatically assume that going to school with a loaded firearm in order to stop bullying will solve anything because it won't. And it doesn't. But what we can hope for is that we will finally have the right to bear arms in this country. And there's only one way you'll take away MY gun. And that's from my cold dead hands.
