So, after the school shooting at Virginia Tech, the problem of gun control in America presents itself again.
Should gun control in America (or anywhere else in the world, or even the whole world) be tightened? Or even completely banned? But then some would say that would be unconstitutional. Maybe gun control should even be looser? Discuss it. |

Well, I live in the country. We have guns. I'm not mentally instable, so it's not like I'm going to go get a gun and go shoot someone. You need a license to hunt. Someone could easily take a hunting gun and go kill someone. In Weston a boy took a gun to school and killed his principle; he got the gun from his own home. I don't think someone should be able to just stroll into a pawn shop and buy a glock. Around here, you have to go through a bigger proccess than just throwing some change on the counter in exchange for a gun and ammunition. I deffinately think they should do a background check and make sure that you have some knowledge about guns, for your own safety.
Then again, this is coming from someone who has a gun in their signature, haha. |

That's true, someone could use a hunting gun for something other than hunting... but there's no way we could take guns away from hunters. So I guess we're always going to have some problems.  Maybe a person should have to have a special license to own/operate a gun? Like have to take a gun saftey course or something? But then again, that probably wouldnt do much.

Really? I figured machine guns would be, but I wasnt sure about other guns. |
