One of the main polemic debates in the United States nowadays is wheter firearms should be forbidden or not. There have been many cases of shootings all over the country throughout the years. There was a school shooting recently that made people rethink about this topic. Many students died in it.

People in the United States can legally buy guns. The defensors of this say that being able to purchase firearms provides people with protection and security. On the other hand, people against this practice say that it's a lot more easier for criminals and mentally unstable persons to commit crimes if there isn't any control of this weapons.
I personally think that firearms should be illegal. There have been too many accidents and shootings. Each time something like this happens, people start debating about it again. It's true that the criminals will get firearms anyways but that doesn't change the fact that crime rates would decrease. The only problem I think there would be is that, in the transition of forbidding guns, there wouldn't be a control of the people who have this kind of weapons.
It's obvious that a country without guns would be much safer. Criminals and terrorist wouldn't be able to buy weapons so easily. Another reason is that animals would be less hunted down, specially those in danger of extinction. The only people who should have guns is the authorities. They're the ones to keep society safe because not everybody is right when they decide to "take justice".
In conclusion, I think that guns should be banned in the United States because it's costing too many lives and they're not really necessary. The prohibition would make the country safer.
