There has been a lot of debate out there about gun control laws and that they should be more strict to protect the people. Well this is what i think. I think gun control doesn't work because the people who commit crimes with guns are criminals, and criminals don't obey the law anyways, so why would they let a gun control law stop them from buying a fire-arm illegally? The only people who the laws restrict are normal law abiding citizens who has to go through a lot of tedious work just to get the gun to protect themselves from criminals who can easily obtain guns illegally. I believe that if everyone can obtain a concealed weapon for self protection, the crime rates would go down. Because criminals are cowards, they pick on the weak, if you have a gun, they run. Please tell me what you think.
Thanks for reading

This is just abuse with the modern technologies. The revenge of the nature. Unfortunatelly the modern people are far away of their spiritual development and they are more aware of their primitive instincts.So without any spiritual discipline and moral values even the most innocent toy can be a weapon.

i think you have the right idea about thwarting criminals by arming citizens with concealed weapons. however i definitely don't think that anyone and everyone should be issued the right to carry a concealed weapon.
i'm not sure where you live, but here in california, you can carry a concealed weapon if you have a permit to do so. but they're nearly impossible to get. you have to prove that your safety is in danger virtually every time you leave the house. people that transport large amounts of cash can get them i hear.
i think the solution is to relax those laws a little to help ordinary people obtain them. but not so much that people with a criminal record or a violent history in general also have access.

I hate how politicians really dont do much to help the problems people are having, they just say a lot of stuff to please us temporarily and get us to support them. and it annoys me how gullible people are these days, they hear something on television and they believe it instantly.
