Its Time to Ban Handguns

They should be banned. I don't like the idea that anyone can have a gun and use it at any time. It is so unsafe that I'm surprised more people aren't dead yet. Having a gun to go hunting with is okay or to just have to practice shooting is not that bad. Having a handgun that can be hidden and used at any moment is very dangerous. People that have them, the normal ones anyway, can "sometimes get drunk and shoot other good guys in a rage, or blow their own heads off". This happens way too much. Parents that have guns are the worst because their children can get their hands on a gun at any moment and kill themselves. It can happen to anyone.

They need to start making more laws against handguns. The National Rifle Association really needs to buckle down and stop expecting things to turn out a certain way, "like they always do". The murder rate would surely go down if less people owned guns. Less presidents would be assassinated, less banks robbed, and less innocent bystanders killed during a random shooting.

Hmm, yes you had some very good things to say, and I find myself agreeing with you one hundred percent.
You see the problem with the idea of putting guns in the hands of your average joe is simple one, ironic even. And its just that that, we put them there. Why just think about it, lets give everyone guns so they defend themselves from the guns that were giving to everyone, yea, that makes alot of sense.
Ultimately we can no longer feed this this fire, we must end it hear, stomp it out before it consumes us alive. And even though it may be heard, to kill the child we gave birth to, It must be done, and soon, because were running out of time.
