Whenever something violent involving guns happens, the subject of "gun control" is brought up. But when someone defends him/herself using a firearm, gun control is never mentioned. Do you think that gun control can effect in any way the violence in the world? In what way?
I think gun control will only disarm good people who own guns for protection. A person who wishes to do harm to others by using fire weapons, will purchase the guns illegally if he cannot purchase them legally. There's such a wide underground market, that it won't make a difference. The difference would be in stories such as this one: http://abcnews.go.com/US/okla-woman-shoots-kills-intruder911-operators-shoot/story?id=15285605#.UBFf77Ty9BA Without a gun to protect herself, the story would be: 18 years old mother raped and killed, 3 month old baby kidnapped, suspects never found.
What do you think?
