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.
