In a case that will have a very large impact on the American society at large, the Supreme court is to decide whether D.C can ban handguns. American has one of the largest number of gun fatalities every single year and in my opinion it is because the guns are so easily available that teenagers can walk in to a gun shop with fake id and purchase guns and ammunition's.
It is one thing to say that the right to bear arms is enshrined in the constitution but when that very right allows young teenagers to blow off steam by shooting other innocent students and teachers to death, questions on its necessity are raised, Do we need this law at all? The right to bear arms is all fine but what about the innocent students who have lost their lives because of this asinine law? What can you tell the moms of the shot school children, that it is okay to use guns and shoot others? how will you feel if your child was shot and all because the government failed to ban guns? These are the questions that we should ask ourselves and amongst the most important of them all is this one,' do we need guns'?
