Gun Control

I recently read Stephen King's essay, "Guns," I believe it was very well written, considering it was somewhat opinionated. I agree with everything that King had an opinion about; and I have to say, he is pretty comical. I laughed thoughout a lot of comments mentioned in the essay. 

I think some gun restrictions should be made. There are some scary people out in this world that should not own guns. I know it's a free country and all, but that doesn't mean everyone is sane. Some restrictions need to be made because of those that do not know how to control themselves. 

I am all for owning guns, no doubt about it. I just shot my first gun not too long ago and I loved it. Not saying that I would like shooting it at people or animals (I felt bad enough for the tree that I destroyed). I believe we should be allowed to own guns, mainly because it is our right, but also to protect ourselves. If someone were to come up with a way to hide a gun from robbers or their children or grandchildren, but be able to get it out quickly in event of a stranger in their house, that man would be a genius. 

Obviously gun control could benefit, looking at what happened in Australia back before gun restrictions and the number of death decreased dramatically after the restrictions were set. Many would be furious about it, but I believe they would come to terms with it; they would have to. If it's for their safety, why would they be mad about it? But I guess you do have those certain people that would fight it to the death. You're not going to make everyone happy, but when can you? Would you prefer happy people or dead people? Consider that.

Censorship is becoming a very large controversy in our current era. I think a lot of people are just looking for arguments. I'm not one to argue people, I would rather just let the other person win than make myself upset over an argument. Censoring things will make one side of the argument happy, but will make another side upset. 

I don't think censoring books or television helps anything. Kids are going to find out about foul language, abuse, sex, etc. So censoring what children see is not going to affect their future. Even on television, when they bleep out a curse word, you still have a pretty good idea of what that person had said. 

Censorship is pretty stupid, in my opinion. If you can't handle certain things people may say to you, then you won't be able to survive in the real world. The kids in this upcoming generation are going to be so censored because the world is becoming so sensitive. The more sensitive we become, the more censored we become, and I do not believe in censoring.
