The idea of gun control and regulation is becoming more and more popular throughout the U.S. Guns are the most heated topic of debate in the United States of America today.
Regulation of guns is the main action that needs to be taken in order to save lives. Gun control is an attempt to stop the rise of violence by strengthening laws on the ownership of firearms. Persons in the group against gun control believe that gun control is wrong, and that it is a violation of constitutional rights. However there are several big anti-gun control groups, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), and the Gun Owners of America (GOA) which are trying to change something.
There are over 200 million registered guns in U.S and we can just imagine what number of unregistered guns belongs to people who buy it not for self-defence, but in order to execute a crime.
We all know recent accident in Virginia TECH University. Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 students. Who should be responsible for this tragedy? In my opinion biggest part of responsibility should take doctors. They knew what this person have psychological problems, but didn‘t start necessary actions. He even could buy two guns legally!!! Doctors and social workers could help him and in same time could help to avoid this massacre! Seung-Hui Cho felt lonely, outcast, what is why he started to hate all surrounding world. Maybe if he had several conversations with social worker his attitude would be changed easily. This tragedy didn‘t happen suddenly. Seung-Hui Cho was sending signals, few students were complaining that Seung-Hui Cho started to be aggressive and even brutal. According to these facts it is to understand that somebody haven‘t done his job properly. Social worker could talk with his family members, students who know him a little bit closer.
All word is shocked of that tragedy and everybody grieves for dead students. However, the most awful thing in this story is that Seung-Hui Cho encouraged and inspired other maniacs in all over the world to do something like he did. He seeded fear in U.S and especially in it‘s schools and universities...
