After a tragedy like this, we all feel the urge to do something. However, we must pause and be sure that we are doing the r
ight
thing. Banning guns is the easy way out, particularly for those in
power, to appear that we are doing something, but is it the right thing
to do? Constitutionality aside, won't we simply drive guns underground
and create a lucrative black market like liquor in the past, and drugs
in the present? Won't we end up denying three billion Americans the
proper tools to defend ourselves, and a fighting chance for stopping
crimes big and small in the future? Shouldn't we be looking at the core
issue instead, as in why has the modern American society produced such
sick individuals from time to time?
Honestly, I don't know the answer to these questions. If you think you do, good for you. I do want to challenge you to ponder over whether your solution will help fix the problem, just as I re-examine my belief in the fundamental right to keep and bear arms whenever they are misused.
