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. |

i didnt really read that many of the above posts. kind of skimmed
I think there should be two way to prevent this kind of incident. For gun control, i think with so many angry kids especially in america there should a limit for one gun per year and a very tough process to get your hands on a gun. Why would a regular person need a silent gun or an automatic (dont know too much about guns) ? a hand gun would be fine for protection. But for those who enjoy shooting as a hobby and like to hunt, there should be restricted rules in keeping their guns at home. like a vault or something that is required to be purchased in order to keep a gun/shotgun. Psychological prevention. For Cho Seung Hui, he wasnt crazy as many people were saying. There is a difference, he was either Psychotic or a Psychopath. Psychotic is when they are truly crazy and dont have a grasp of the real world. Psychopaths know reality and just have a desire that is aggressive, perverted, criminal, or amoral behavior without empathy or remorse. He was just a very angry person, if he had atleast one bestfriend he would of been fine. We could of prevented something in some ways but he was a regular person with insane motives. Its like saying we could of prevented him from thinking. |

Why would a regular person need a BMW, Mercedes, Ferrari, etc? A toyota would be fine to get from point a to point b. Why would a regular person need cigarettes? Why would a regular person need beer? Why would a regular person need anything? The best part is, none of that is protected under the constitution, yet guns are more heavily regulated. |
