In all of these cases, people were shot or killed because of fear

Guns are made for killing/hurting someone or something. So if you don't plan on killing or hurting someone..what do you need a gun for????

I just noticed that this forum is mostly conservatives lol
It's not actually. I'm not conservative, and I wouldn't claim that my view on the second amendment is a conservative one anymore than universal mind would claim his religious views are liberal. I'm making a rational argument. I think it's terrible what happened to Travon Martin and my honest opinion on gun control is that we need more legislation targeting the police than the people. I believe cops should be fined for removing their guns from their holsters without probable cause, for example.

But making guns illegal won't make them go away. I like the idea of background checks, but I don't think any other limitations should be put in place, and I'm not afraid to say New York was being fucking retarded when they passed that law to ban concealed weapons from schools after Sandy Hook. A concealed weapon can prevent those tragedies. The NRA is being equally retarded by calling for armed guards in schools. The last thing schools need are more cops, and the last way to prevent violence is by removing concealed weapons. It just baffles me to think that only cops should get guns and one should be stationed at every school when all you need is a pistol locked away in the principle's car, or even their office.
