Commentary on "Gun Control" by Aadil Khatri

On November 27th, 2014, Aadil Khatri posted an article, Gun Control about how gun control needs to be enforced and that there is a big gun issue in America. Although I respect the idea that there is various cases where people who own guns have gone crazy and murdered people in cold blood, I disagree with the idea that this problem of crime is solely based on guns. If we get rid of guns, there will always be other weapons people can use to murder and hurt people. Taking away guns won't solve the problem, because there are plenty of crazy people that would find ANY WAY to hurt other people, (knives, automobiles, etc). You can take the gun away from the crazies, but not the crazy away from the crazies! In fact, drinking before you are 21 is illegal, recreational drugs are illegal, but people STILL find ways to do those things. All that taking guns away from people would do is disable a lot of people from protecting themselves. And not to mention the fact that in todays society, we can't even trust the police that are suppose to ultimately protect us and keep us safe. Background checks are necessary, but taking away the citizens right to bear arms is not.
