Guns; we are all affected by them. They affect us both indirectly and directly. We see how the media portrays them to the American public. Everyone has their opinions on guns. Guns are to keep people safe, or guns are the reason people are dying. There is a common argument people make that says, “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”

This weapon affects us all, whether through war or civil problems. They will blame the instrument; the instrument would not work without someone operating it. War strives on technology. The better the guns are, the easier the victory is. People want to blame the object other than the person.

Guns are instruments of people. People will use objects for their own intentions; a gun can be a way to carry out those intentions. The bad stigma that people have from guns come from other individuals, not the gun. People start wars for their own reasons. Ask the person holding the gun why he’s holding it.

Hate seems to have bred guns. If everyone were good to one another, there would be no need for guns other than for food. Guns would have a whole different meaning if the human condition were geared towards helping and loving each other.
