guns



guns how good are they?
how much we need them and how much they really help us?

i am from India and i have never seen a gun in my 26years of life there! so do most of the Indians unless they are police, army or the paramilitary forces! very few people posses guns with a license which is rather hard to obtain! India is rather safe , you can walk around in the night though you should be scared for stray dogs! i used to go and hang around beach for a fruit shake or  some coffee at midnight!  of-course the crime is high in mumbai the newyork equivalent of India, but overall the crime resulting in death is very low. look we are 3 times the population of USA squeezed in 1/3rd its size... technically speaking we should be seeing more crime!

  But, change the scene  to newyork ...the busy manhattan streets becomes really dark after 7 and its not really advisable to be around in dark places where there are no people! of-course the crime targets mainly soft targets: women ( especially older women) , older people, and " The drunken people" but, it is the gun that gives big the advantage to the criminal!

   The free availability of guns gives the power to go and bargain with victim
" it is just a ring " 
why you  let your or the loved one's life go for it?
even  a broken man can go and load the gun and kill the entire people dining with her ex-lover and her and can have his evil satisfaction or the disgruntled disoriented student like the Virginia tech shooter  make the people listen to him for a very grievous price...
  whereas in India robbers rarely attack you for say 20 bucks or even say 100 bucks. They do not want to risk it so often. because for them robbing at the point of knife is not really cool , so they do not try for it unless they are very sure that they can overpower the victim. instead they  go for a big robbery over a home where the family is on vacation etc... they plan their robbery and meticulously implement it .... they are rather professional robbers... as a whole the crime is comparatively very low when compared to america for the main reason that civialians do not possess guns just like that!

  now a days we are reading in news about some robberies of the gas stations in highway....with guns...

bottom-line is that guns make the job of criminal easier while it would be a great risk for him to do with a knife!With knife they might not even succeed after all that risk...
 even if the Virginia tech university students possessed guns with them ... does it sound sensible that they would be having their guns loaded with them all the time? while they are listening to a lecture, they would be having guns loaded and on their desk ready to face any possible attack?

If everyone on the earth possess a gun and have it ready with them, we need not go to hell, we will see it right here!

Gun rights;

Gone were the days when the new settlers were in a state of constant fight ...now Americans are not in fight with anybody at-least at home! Compared to the 1700s there is very less necessity for individual to have arms and be ready for a fight!

so, if you still want to claim your right to bear firearms think about it.
because guns are not toys but, a powerful weapons which give us a chance to be god
" where we can write the destiny of our victims with a simple flick  of the trigger "
