Blog #7: Comment on "Guns and Politics in the United States"

          I agree with the Bill's blog "Guns and Politics in the United States" about Guns would be harmful to citizen than being good to them. As in the United States, it is being estimated that 270 million to 310 million U.S. civilians own firearms, and that 37% to 42% of the households in the country have at least one gun. I also agree with the Bill talking about it is easy to kill anyone with the gun as it takes no time in pulling a trigger instead of going through the effort of holding a knife to stab someone when the victims can still defend themselves, when the person is too angry to have a conscious mind.
         As if we talk about country like India, according to INDIAN ARMS ACT 1959, pepper spray is legal and any weapon/knife blade larger than 5 inch is considered sword and is illegal. Weapons like automatic firearms, semi-automatic weapons can only be owned by policy and military. While weapons like guns, civilians should have license and it is not easy to get such license. But, in the United States, people agree with the idea of keeping guns with them as they can defend themselves when they confront a violent person. I agree with the Bill's listed alternatives like a pepper spray, a police baton, or a Taser instead of owning a gun. It's not easy to remove guns as our constitution allows for gun ownership but, we can definitely slow the usage of it. At last, Bill truly states "The best way to stay away from danger is use common sense."
