Gun control is a serious issue throughout the nation. Some people feel that guns should be taken away because they are harmful and cause more negative that positive situations. Guns have killed thousands of people for various reasons, but this is not the guns fault. People are the ones killing and pulling the trigger. Knifes and other weapons kill just as much as guns do but no one notices that. If guns are taken away then people are left defenseless. If someone really wanted a gun after guns were taken away, it is certain they will get one and hurt the people without. Not everyone should have to suffer because a few people use guns not in the way they were intended to be used. Gun control has been a debate for a long time now and everyone has an opinion but no one knows the answer. It's not the guns killing, its the people. Taking away guns is pointless and would do more harm that good.
