One shooting in a planned parenthood center. There were 2 known deaths by the time that the murderer was found, and a few more injured. Obama stated that "If we truly care about this — if we’re going to offer up our thoughts and prayers again, for God knows how many times, with a truly clean conscience — then we have to do something about the easy accessibility of weapons of war on our streets to people who have no business wielding them. Period. Enough is enough.”
It is true, the gun that the shooter was using the kill people was a legal firearm. So we either make firearms MORE accessible, or we cut down on them. All of Europe has cut down on accessibility of firearms, and they have the lowest crime rate in the world. (with an exception of Scotland.)
Should we say "we need to get more guns", even though the people doing the mass shootings, and school shootings (like the one in Connecticut), were from people with background checks?
You need to clear your brain from your biases, from your childhood, and political things taught to you by your parents. You need to look at the success of the countries that put up gun control laws, such as Iceland, Sweden, Finland, new Zealand, Norway, Germany, and many more, who have had very few crimes. So obviously due to the lack of accessibility to get a gun. Can't you see? Giving more people guns will double the threat. Humans are not animals that are emotionally stable and will never do something bad, if they happen to be having a good day when they go to get their background checks.
Guns are not a good thing, they will not solve the problem, if someone has a gun it will not lower crime. What this country need is to eliminate the problem by getting rid of these guns. The same guns's that the NRA has in mind for the common man to access, are the guns that the NRA are letting these Psychopaths have at the same time.
People are not emotionally stable to have a gun with them everyday, all day. People have temptations. Many people have bosses that they don't like, that they might want to get rid of. Please just do your best to look at where the gun comes from, and how they accessed it, which is almost always legally.
Thank you for your question!
