I'm sure you've heard that phase often and it's true but there's
more to it. The gun lobbyists want you to believe that the more guns we have
the less problems there will be. The truth is guns don't solve problems people
solve problems.
So the link between both of these statements is 'People'. The
answer to all our problems is how people treat people on a daily basis. If we
treated each other with dignity, I'm sure the American public would feel
better walking around town without a gun strapped to their side.
The gun manufacturers and lobbyist would never agree with that
last statement because it affects their business. That's expected but is it
really the right approach? The violence around the word is out of control,
which I suspect most rational people would agree.
People of the world have many different beliefs and opinions,
which seems perfectly fine to me. We need to hear other opinions. New ideas
help our minds grow and expand. This will help society progress. Some people
are very passionate about their beliefs, which is great but debates can become
heated. Discussing opposing viewpoints is an important step in solving problems
but it works better without the influence of guns.
What would the current race for the presidency look like if the
candidates were packing sidearms? It's a scary thought. So instead of choosing
to open carry for protection why not choose an open mind for progress.

it's so nice blog so well written .thanks for this .
wow! this is so informative . I'm really like this post .
The assumption you make that pro gun advocates state that gun possession solve problems is misstated. No gun advocates I know have ever stated that guns solve any kind of problem. Gun owners possess weapons for various reasons such as protection, sporting events such as target shooting and hunting and just to exercise ones’ Second Amendment rights. These reasons don’t solve any problem, however, it has been shown that the passage of concealed carry laws has reduced street crimes such as robberies has decreased in those states at the initial passage of CC laws. The media does not publish these facts or acts of legal gun owners foiling these crime against persons. I personally don’t see the need for what people call “assault rifles” other than some gun owners like shooting them. I have owned assault weapons in the past and would not interfere with people responsibly owning and using them. I believe the key to reducing weapon violence is better mental health screenings and education of the public instead of knee jerk emotional reactions to tragedies like mass shootings and the passage of more regulations against weapons. As you say, everyone has his own opinions.
