Editorial on guns:

On the 16th April, a student in the University of Virginia, killed 33 people and than killed himself. Later, the news said that that guy was mentally disturbed and used drugs. I believe that, in America mostly, there are too many guns that are sold everyday. I think that the people that buy guns should be controlled and checked and they must say why they need they want a gun.
But this isn't just an America's issue, all the world has this problem of too many guns are sold illegally to thousand of people everyday. In the world there are like 13 billions of people and there are also 12 billions of guns. How many people can you guess can be killed with one gun?
A lot of problems, I guess, are because the media just invite the youth to get or buy a gun. For example the films "Lord of War" or "Dear Wendy".
Guns are only a form of destructionand they are violent for uncivilized people. To use violence is just a childish form of reaction. I believe that guns are and became very technological even if it's not a good thing.
Nowadays, guns are in unhealthy, useless way and people just don't even try to stop this. But again, I believe that the media is conditioning our way of living.
