Hi everyone! What is my opinion about guns after watching the movie? Honestly it is hard to say. If I would have to decide either people should carry guns or not I would probably be against it. I live in a country where guns are not allowed. There is no way to buy a gun. And I don't feel like my rights or freedom are taken away from me. I feel safe in my country. The gun violence is not a big problem in Poland. Of course there are gang members, especially drug dealers who illegally own a gun but that crime activity doesn't really affect people. The situation in the U.S is completely different. Although I live in Chicago and I am aware that the city has very high gun violence rate I feel quite safe here. I know what parts of Chicago are dangerous so I avoid to go there.
I would never own a gun. You can say it is for protection. Well, if somebody want to rob me, take what you want. I don't care about things or money. If I were attacked on the street I wouldn't probably have a time to pull a gun. Besides there is so many accidents, while cleaning guns, kids may play with it, or somebody can steal it from you. All those massacres that happened in high schools or movie theater were made by people who had easy access to guns. The truth is, because the guns are allowed in the U.S. more people use them for the wrong reason. On the other hand I understand the fact that it is for protection. There are plenty of people who protected themselves and family members from robbery. Besides rights to own a gun is very deep in American culture and it would be very hard to change it.
Yes, you're right about so many points. I was shocked to learn that it's 22 times more likely that a gun will be used on a family member.
