Guns have the sole intention to kill people. Rather than this guns aren't used for anything else. While committing a murder with a knife or a bat is considered a misconduct, guns where only designed to kill. Knives and bats were developed for other causes rather than killing. But guns aren't used in any other way. In addition guns are even more lethal than knives because one can accidentally kill someone due to uncontrollable firing. This especially applies to assault rifles and submachine guns that fire multiple rounds per pulling the trigger. Where as with a knife only one person can be targeted. Another point for the gun ban is that people with criminal intentions can easily get access to guns and weapons. America has seen this during the past 20 years the gang violence the frequent gun-related homicides and the brutal massacres such as columbine, Virginia Tech and now New Town Connecticut. By giving these people (or any people at all) access to these weapons multiple people can be killed in just a matter of seconds and most importantly guns can be acquired legally. But for what cause? What could you possibly need a gun for? For hunting but only with a license and any deliberate murder would be considered a misconduct because hunting rifles where intended to kill animals and that is a legitimate cause for killing. But since cannibalism is extremely scarce people say they need guns for protection. But from what? There's the police there's the FBI that protect but just normal residents why do they need guns. Every single time people have a conflict they don't try to peacefully solve the problem. A lot of them would just go crazy, grab their gun and start shooting at the other person they were having their conflict with. If they wouldn't have guns they might think two more times before reverting to the gun. People always think violence is the answer I can assure you it isn't and those that think violence isn't caused by guns but by people they should know that guns foster this violence and even intensify it on a catastrophic scale. The worst part of all is that because of the gun sales and the simplicity of acquiring a weapon, criminal organizations are heavily benefiting from this as well. The Sinaloa cartel and various street gangs can simply order people to purchase weapons for them. If the opportunity weren't there it would be much more difficult for criminal organizations to acquire them. However criminal organizations can still smuggle weapons and get assault weapons but the ban on weapons could lower the murder rate and hinder organizations from bulking up with annihilating firepower. We should act fast and realize that we are protecting ourselves from the same thing that is supposed to protect us. Guns are wrong and we need to find an alternative method. The constant killing has got to stop!
