A gun is an inanimate object. It is incapable of inflicting harm on anyone or anything on its own. It is not inherently good or evil by itself. It takes on the traits of whatever person decides to use it.

Evil exists in our world. It always has and always will, but not in inanimate objects. It is human nature, however, to place the blame for evil acts on inanimate objects.

I own a pistol. I practice shooting it a few times a year and am a decent shot. It stays next to my bed, mainly because I believe in my right as a person to protect myself if need be.

With that being said, do I believe that an ordinary person should be able to walk into a store and buy an automatic rifle? Absolutely not.

Our country's gun control laws need to be looked at. There needs to be a standard, across-the-board set of regulations that are actually enforced.

But do I believe revised gun control laws will stop evil from happening? No.

Evil doesn't follow rules or regulations. It never has, and it never will.


If you're one of the people who believes all guns should be outlawed, good for you. I don't dispute your views and I'm certainly not attacking them. Please don't waste your time telling me how bad guns are in the comment section. Let's just agree to disagree.
