I love how everyone in the US believes that everyone should have a gun because it's their right to. Well, obviously that right is being squeezed too much and failing to have the control it should. At this point, I have no clue of what happened or how it happened, I just know a lot of kids died as well as the folks of the murder.
I've lived in Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, United Sates and Costa Rica. Until now the only place I've experienced this fanatic shootouts is the US. Actually, you know how it works in latin america? IT's like you wake up, get to college/work and something and you know what people say to you... "Dude, did you see that new shooting in the US?". Everyone having a gun as they please definitely doesn't work. If there were less guns distributed there would be less shootings. If you end up making it harder it will be harder for people to get them, only those who are really ****ed up in the head will do anything to get them just to go kill someone else.
It's a really complicated subject, but yes, I completely believe the less guns the country has the less likely people are to use them against others. Doesn't matter how pro or not you're with a gun, just the fact that you have one could ALWAYS end up in the possiblity of you being shot, specially if it's someone prepared to kill you. Do you think because you have a gun in your house and someone decides to shoot you or go kill you he'll just go up the door and shoot you, you'll probably not even notice, so no, I don't think it's the solution for you to carry a gun at home.
That's just my two cents, even though I'll see an influx of pro-gun comments after this. I can still in my head decide that I don't need a gun at my house and never will, I've shot, hunted and everything you want, I still don't need a gun.
And yes, marijuana should be legalized, it's way more healthier than tabacco or alcohol and actually has a lot of medicinal value, prohibition is just made to make the rich richer and flood corruption, gun trafficking and ****ing up all latin america to feed the necessity of drugs in america, while the UN is the one oposing which was founded by the US. Hypocrisy at it's best. We got all the cartles and killings due to trafficking while the US enjoys putting in jail their harmless marijuana smokers instead of going for real crime as it's easier and business make tons of money out of jail. It's ridiculous.
