Gun control is unnecessary, it will not solve the problem, people are the root of violence, not guns. What needs to be corrected is the unstable people with guns. Eliminating guns from society will not help what really needs to be helped---the people. If crazed people did not have access to guns to kill with, they may use more drastic measures to commit violence or crime. Banning guns will not solve the root of the problem. .
People that commit acts of violence with guns obviously have problems that need to be solved, if guns were not available to these people, their problems will still not be solved. What needs to be increased is counseling services, and anti-violence idea's in the schools and media, not gun laws. .
The recent tragedy in New York City, Washington D.C. and Pittsburgh is an example that mass crime can be committed without a gun. Four airplanes were used as mass fatal weapons to kill an innumerable amount of people. Should we ban airplanes? And box-cutters were used to hi-jack these airplanes, should we then ban box-cutters? As tragic as these examples are, they are excellent examples of showing that terrible acts of violence can clearly happen without the use of guns. .
Guns will not end violence. The right to bear arms is a right of an American and should not be taken away. Everyone has the right to protect himself or herself, if someone wishes to protect themselves with a gun it is their second amendment right, and it should not be infringed upon.
