The Supreme court may say 'No' to guns!

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'?

Killer student mows down 8 in Finland!

It seems that the School Killings have started all over again. I had said this before and I shall say this again, it is high time that stronger gun control laws be brought into force. It is one thing to have guns to protect oneself but totally another thing to use them to shoot innocent people, just because you do not feel okay. Here in India as well as the other countries there is a very strict gun law which is duly enforced and it is pretty much unheard of for any teen to get their hands on any guns or ammunition of any kind, leave alone, to bring them to school.
We all have gone through that 'teen' years, with all sorts of hormones running through our body. It is at this stage that a human is most vulnerable and it is at this age that he or she can learn about life and mature into a responsible adult. To learn that Bullying was the cause for this person to run amok in this Finnish school, I have to ask did no one notice that he was being bullied? Why did the school counsellor not make an attempt to intervene? These are some of the questions that many a Finnish citizen would be asking themselves today.

These killings have only shown us how easy it is for underage adults/minors to obtain guns and ammunition of all sorts in countries where gun control is limited or pretty much non existent. Why should guns be so readily available in the market? I can never accept the argument that if guns cannot be sold over the counter legally then there is always the black market. It is high time that all guns were removed from the society as such, other than the police and the armed forces. That way, we would not be threatened by school kids 'going off their rocker' or by any robbers or murderers with guns. What is more, this way, tracing a gun that has been used in a crime would definitely be a whole lot easier! The American constitution may grant one the right to defend oneself, but it is that very right that is eroding the society of Modern America and this disease is spreading to other countries that do not have strict gun control laws like that of Finland. This crime has hit the Finnish people very hard as they are fighting to understand what happened and why it has happened? It will be some time before life gets back to normal in Finland but as far as schools go, Finnish education has changed and the feeling of safety in Finnish schools has gone forever!
