Anyone can get hold of a gun it seems. Sometimes they get them from family members without that person even knowing. Even children can get hold of a gun. Take the Columbine shooting, for example. Those teens just asked someone to buy guns for them, and now 14 students including the two boys who brought the guns to school and a teacher are dead.
People often say that they keep a gun in their home for self-defense.
Many say it goes against the Constitution to take away guns. I think we should simply change the Constitution. It was written at a time when you couldn't call the police for protection. Now we can just make a phone call, and help is on the way. If we had no guns, then there would be no need to defend ourselves against criminals, since the criminals wouldn't have guns, either.
