ES201 Gun Control 9/6/07

I think that the biggest problem in todays society are people that are getting ahold of guns that dont need them. I think that if a person has a history of a mental disease or phisological problems that they should be banned from buying guns. I do understand that we live in a country where we are free to do and buy what we want, however, by letting these people buy guns is putting us all at risk, because what if they forget to take their medicine or what if they go out of control?? I do not want to die or have one of my family members or friends die because someone goes crazy with a gun.

I also think that if a person has children it would be a wise decision to keep all guns locked away UNLOADED. Too many children get killed each year because parents leave loaded guns within arms reach. How can we have a future if our kids are running around with guns...

I also think that the process to get a gun is too easy, it needs to be harder, the government should have to approve people buying guns.

Too many innocent people are getting shot everyday and this could be stopped if people were more responsible with guns.
