Guns, and many more guns won't keep us all safe.

The thought of crime and violence is a sickening one, you can't help it but see and read about it in News and on the Television. Violence seems to be part of human evolution now, more evil and sinister ways in which violence and crimes breakout comes up every now and then. There is no new things under the Sun says the Scriptures, but humans kept devising new means of carrying out violence.

Xenophobia is currently running in South Africa, many lives have been lost, even part of the Government supports the killing of foreigners who lives and contributed to the GDP of that country. That's to tell you how far humans have gone, since when does been a stranger becomes a crime you could die for?

Your latest Gun and weapons may not save you when violence breaks out in all form, you could protect yourself with one shot or more but who's going to protect your loved ones wherever they are? Guns protect and also kills, just like it has occurred in so many wild mass shootings on civilians, many of these victims also own guns which could not save them in the end.

Peace is the antidote to perpetual violence and crime, you can't fight fire with fire, it escalates and become an explosion, a bigger fire!

Sort:  

Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Hammers and knives kill more people in America per year than guns. Banning hammers and knives won't help.

Criminals will own guns anyway, whether or not their prohibited, so having people armed defensively in schools and airplanes will keep violence down. It's just another tool that can be used for good or evil like a computer can be used for good or evil.

Murder is already illegal I don’t know how people forget that. Those who favor safety over freedom deserved neither. You’re right the government is corrupt and unfortunately they are humans just like me and you. If you can’t trust a citizen to own a weapon, you sure as hell cant trust the government to.

Very Apt, over here in my country, Government officials owns Arsenal of ammunitions, like a Military base and hands these weapons out to their political thugs to cause mayhems.

We have to keep preaching and talking peace.
