We are living the most peaceful times in human history, yet there are people killed by the dozens every day. Guns and weapons are meant to "protect" but are used as means to "eradicate". Why do we need guns? What do you think?
You must have been living in another world to have said we are living in the most peaceful time in human history. With people not even feeling safe in their homes and on the streets. The subject of discussion as to whether to have access to guns is only applicable to the advanced countries unlike other countries where is not even an option.
The purpose of guns in this society is to protect ourselves from danger especially to humans that have bad intent to other people. This could help us save our lives. But we can't avoid that there are people who breaks the law and abuse the use of guns.
