Gunsssss

I’m going to start off by saying that I don’t like guns and I don’t think it’s a good idea for anyone to be able to carry a weapon around just because they feel they have the right to. Other than those who need guns such as police officers and those who fight for this country I feel that for safety reasons people don’t need to carry them. I know that the second amendment states we have the right to bear arms, but if people were pulling guns on people when things got out of control the murder rate would rise. I realize that if someone wants a gun then they are going to get one and use it how they want, but it’s nice to know that it’s not allowed for average people on the street to be packing heat. Guns are hobbies for some and for those that hunt it’s a lifestyle. I have come across a lot of people in my life that know way to much about guns and how they work and it’s so easy to use one. I feel like having guns in a house is a scary thing especially if there are children involved. I know that people put them away but kids get curious and want to know how things work. In order to get a gun in Illinois you have to have a FOID card and go through a process to get a gun which makes me feel better. I also know that they do check up on people who carry guns in Illinois however in other states such as Montana your allowed to just have a gun with you wherever you go. I would feel uneasy if the law ever got passed here in Illinois and I hope that it doesn’t come to that. I know it’s a very controversial topic and many people have different opinions on it.
