A few summers ago, I was on the internet and the front door was open cus it was hot as hell. All of a sudden, a I hear a rather large bang. I thought it was a big firecracker because it was just after 4th of July. Then, I hear a women saying loudly over and over, "OMG, OMG." I got outside and listen, and I hear a little girl saying, "I'm sorry mommy." I thought that the girl shot someone in the house accidentally. Well, then I hear sirens and a ton of emergency vehicles are lining my street within minutes.
Luckily, the girl only shot herself in the hand, accidentally. But, it just goes to show how easily a child can operate a gun and it shows how STUPID it is to have guns these days.
Here's a few more examples of gun incidents in my own life. When I was about 10, my father and sister and I went to Subway for dinner. As we are waiting in line, a guy runs in and has a crazy look on his face and says, " someone is shooting at me." No more than a few seconds later, a car stops right in front of the Subway and lets out a few shots from a handgun. The front of the Subway is all glass and the 3 shots blast through the glass. We didn't even have time to duck or anything it all happened so fast. Thankfully, nobody was hit. Again, another case of an idiot having a gun and by pulling one finger could have possibly ended my life or my dads or my sisters or the workers at the Subway.
And lastly, when I was in middleschool, around holloween a kid from my school was hanging out with his cousin. His cousin is showing him his dad's shotgun and think it isn't loaded and aims the gun at the kid and pulls the trigger. Shoot him in the head and he dies. That's just great, isn't it?
Of course, there will always be a black market for guns. But, if they were banned, over time, maybe 10, maybe 20, maybe 50 years. There will be a decline in meaningless gun violence such as this. Of course that will never happen because the leaders of the nations around the world have all for the most part lost sight of what is really important.
