Gun Control
Hoo boy. This has been a long time in coming.
See, I was raised by my grandfather, a strong gun-owning conservative. He taught me to shoot, he taught me to respect guns, and he taught me that every once in awhile a government might need to have itself overthrown by its own citizens, which was why the framers put safeguards like the 2nd Amendment into the Constitution. Throughout my years, the issue has plagued me. Are guns good? Is a well-armed population more apt towards protection or random violence? Do I favor gun control, or a personal right for a citizen to own a gun?
