With the shooting at Virginia Tech still fresh in our minds I thought this would be as good a time as any to debate the issue of gun control. Gun laws vary widely from country to country so this centres on the need for tightening gun laws in principle. Many people die every year from gunshot wounds, many who arguably would not have died if a gun had not been available. Removal of guns would certainly curb a lot of the impulsive murders that we see, but what about the threat to civil liberties? What balance should there be to protect citizens from both themselves and from oppressive government? Is the liberal availability of guns overall a positive or a negative and what are the consequences of each side of the issue? Should guns be banned? Is there any reason to NOT ban them? Some would say it is a their right to have a gun? Should we change the law to not allow citizens guns if they want? Should certain types be banned?
