Bear Arms

Do we still need the right to bear arms? The answer is no. People insist on the right to carry a gun, but for what? Protection? If no one has a gun, what are you protecting yourself from? A bear? No. Even hunting has become extremely restricted as many animals have become endangered. What is the need to hunt, if you could simply go to your neighborhood Jewel? People say that we don't have a gun problem, but what about the gang violence in Chicago, and the recent epidemic of mass shootings. On Saturday night, I was going clubbing with my friends. On the way to the club, we decided that we wanted McDonald's shamrock shakes. On the way in to the golden arches we got cat called by some black teenagers in a car with a sunroof. We ordered our meals at sat down, and a strange stocky Asian man approached us.  He had a very strange and removed sounding voice as he told us before we arrived that he almost had an altercation with the kids before we had arrived. The man clearly had something off about him. He said that the kids flipped him of and made threats toward him. He made a motion like he was loading a gun and he told us he would have pooped them in the ass if he had his gun. He stood there proud as if we should be applauding him. We had no idea how to reason, so we sat in silence as he eyed. He then said he wish he shot the kids. This is when I felt the need to say that he should not be shooting anyone and shouldn't have a gun. These are teenagers that are just goofing around, and would you feel safe having your kid on the street with a crazy man with the license to carry which he conveniently whipped out of his wallet to display o my friends and I. This churned my stomach to know that anyone as obviously mentally unstable as him could carry a gun. Later that night, a crazy guy hyped up on cocaine was being chased around the parking garage and the police subdued him with a taser as a last result. They did not shoot him, and I believe that no one should have the right to carry a gun besides a police officer and a solider at war.
