When I went to high school there was a teacher who kept a gun at the school. Personally I feel that guns are like cars, They have a great purpose but improperly used you can kill somebody.
The argument that gun control lowers violant crimes is BS. Do you relize how easy it is to build an ak47 using stamped parts. Your just going to create a black market for guns.
If it was not guns it would be some other tool to cause harm to the other person.
