I think that instead of banning guns, regulating who can and cannot buy guns will be more effective in preventing massacres such as Sandy Hook and Columbine. It's impossible to eliminate 100% of gun violence, but by requiring background checks and thorough psychological tests, surely we can lessen the number of armed psychos. Also, gun licenses should expire after a certain amount of time; many people buy lifetime carry cards and later develop disorders that can make them a danger to themselves and others. Half of America thinks we should ban all guns for everyone and the other half thinks anyone should be able to by a gun for self defense and sport. Surely we can agree on a compromise to keep our schools and streets as safe as possible without altering our rights.
