Anyone for Gun Control?

                 After kids were murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary nearly 5 months ago a call to repeal gun laws in States have been called for. Recently a kid shot his brother with a rifle that is manufactured for the usage of kids, labeled "My First Rifle.". Mixed reactions have been seen. Some agree that it's time for a gun control law. Some say it isn't because of the right to bear arms the American Constitution guaranteed it's citizens. Let's see , Anyone for Gun Control?

                  There are a lot of benefits with a "Tighter Gun Owning Policy" of course, we can strip of all the lunatics out there to own a gun, the mentally imbalanced and of course kids to own a gun. Another thing at least because of the hassle to file a lot of paperwork , submit to such medical and psychological evaluation and many more some people would be too lazy to even bother buying and registering a gun, that is a good side. The jobs of the cops would be less dangerous with only legitimate people who are proved to be mentally stable and have been educated properly to use their guns would be out there in the streets, at least each traffic stop would be less and less tensed. And of course a good gun policy would ban High powered rifles, like AR-15's, M-4's and the like would be off of civilian hands and the gun markets, there can be exceptions of course for those who really need them like owners of big pawnshops and jewelry stores. The moment these rifles are out of the market the safer the people are. Those are the Pro's. But still we can't guarantee "Total eradication and control" of guns.

                     Let us not hide the fact that there is a huge black market out there where you could buy all of your equipment, and that puts the laws for gun control, how good or strict it may be, to a good compromise. Of course, it will be useless until there are those unlawful turds who will find a way to smuggle and peddle such guns illegally, so the law would be really useless, and it might increase the number of illegal weapons in circulation because you just give em a call they deliver your gun no paperwork just plain cold hard cash. It would undermine the law and will put more people's lives in jeopardy.

                      The bottom line? I really do not know, it's up to the lawmakers and the law itself to give us, teens and kids a safer community to live. But one tip, try eradicating or reducing the activity of black markets (seems impossible) before doing these laws. But hey, it's their job not mine. I just hope that whatever will their decision be, it is the good for all, both gun owners and citizens without guns alike. But imagine a world with less violence because the people who owns guns are more educated on how to use it safely and are proven to be mentally capable of owning one.
