One day while I was eating dinner with my home stay family, my home stay mother said to me about Virginia Tec shooting. The accident is that one man who immigrated in to Canada approximately 10years ago shot in Virginia Tec University. Unfortunately He, who was a Korean, was very negative and passive. At that time, I was very shameful. I couldn’t believe that. It was a tragic result. About 30 people were killed and he that committed murder was also killed himself by gun. The major of victims were students and the others were professors. There is one a point of sameness. They have no relation with him who killed people. It was very pity. We can’t imagine that kind of accident about abusing guns in Korea because we can’t own a gun. Before I came to Canada, I had occasionally heard some news about abusing guns. Most of news took place in the USA. Do you know why, because they can possess guns.
Frankly speaking I didn’t know there are some countries where citizens can own guns until I came here. I searched a book because I wondered why they can own guns in legal. Many years ago, The USA warred against England to become independent. When the USA was colonized, they had to defend each province themselves. Citizens who possessed guns organized irregular troops. The convention has being continued so a right to own a gun was established in the constitution. This is a old traditional in the USA so changing the law is very hard. In deed, I doubt it is a necessary to possess guns in the USA. Of course I know there are both strength and weakness. If a burglar broke into our houses, we could fight over the burglar and protect our family and property from the dangerous situation by using a gun. I have a right to depend form burglaries. If I used a gun against a burglar, it could be a useful weapon. However problem is misuse. Some people are very rational and reasonable but some people aren’t illogical and irrational. For instance Using guns for robbery or being used guns by some one who is a mental patient have made some problems. It caused lots of accidents that some people were died by misusing guns. The accidents make us think over again about having a gun. I heard buying a gun could be very easy in the USA. If I were the citizen of the USA, I could buy a gun very easily. What a crazy! I can’t imagine. How to buy a gun which is a very dangerous weapon without complex process? Of course there are some crimes but they are no relation to guns. I heard that if I were on some road in Brazil, I could the report of a gun. What a awful!
For me, Weakness about having guns is much more important than strength. Government of the USA is considering about banning the guns but the company that make guns lobbies against a bill. So it is postponing until now. Industry of guns is very huge so company which makes guns can affect for making a law very strongly. I believe owe of guns in privacy should be banned as soon as possible. What a ridiculous! Innocent citizens have a right to be protected from abusing guns.
