Hadiya Pendleton, a 15 year old student at King College Prep High in Chicago; was fatally shot on Tuesday morning when her and a group of friends took shelter during a storm. Police are calling this a senseless act of violence, and have offered a $40,000 reward to anyone who leads to the arrest of Hadiya's killer. Many have posted online tributes to allow no one to forget the bright, young girl lost to such a tragic, random act of violence.
The question arises, are guns really the problem in our world? Or is it the sick people who feed on violence and destruction. I feel that these people are the real cause of all this pain and suffering. These people who aren't mentally ill, yet act as if they cant tell what is good and evil in this world. They are truly evil on the inside, and no matter what anyone argues, they are evil at heart and should not be wandering freely in the world.
What are your feelings about all of the current violence in the news and media lately? Is it truly guns that cause the problem or the people who shouldn't have them that cause this? As they say, "guns don't kill people, people kill people."
While this is a tragedy I do agree that it is the people that are the source of the violence. Guns only give people a means to outsource these awful things. So guns aren't necessarily the problem, because truly these crimes could be committed with different weapons but whoever is holding the weapon is the one to blame.
