Guns also helps the country for defense, but if it is used for the wrong reasons, it seems sad.

No, my views on guns did not change. I did feel empathy for the characters who had to use guns, but I still do not believe in them.

The book provided amazing insights. It hasn't changed my opinions but has helped me develop a deeper understanding regarding guns. The world will never change but it's constantly evolving. The laws regarding the handling of guns should also evolve and ensure to do their best in getting guns on the right hands. The basic issue being violence... awareness and positivity should be something people should be talking about.

I never liked guns being in a household, especially when the owner has not undergone psychiatric evaluation and there are children in the house. In my opinion, whenever a person owns one, and he is not a responsible and mentally fit person, his hands itch to use it if there is an opportunity, even just to shoot a rodent.

I agree with you. The characters are the best way to ponder the advantages and the disadvantages.

Yeah, your point is so sad. I agree to that. My uncle kills himself by just a simple problem he can't manage.

My views did not change at all. If anything, they were reinforced. I am not against the second Amendment, but I do think there should be a certain level of gun control. Maybe be more strict on determining who should and should not be allowed to carry a gun.

You have the point. Gun must be in the right hands, specifically those who are physically fit to carry.

My views haven't changed. I'm anti-gun and always will be. Only the trained and disciplined should be allowed access to this device.

Yeah, only the disciplined person must carry a gun. If not , it might bring them to court like my cousin. He picked up my uncle's gun just to show to his friends. He was arrested in the check point because the country implemented gun banned.

However, I hadn’t considered the danger of armed senior citizens, especially when they realize that they are nearing the end of their lives. The most dangerous people can be the people who feel that they have nothing left to lose.
Yes, I agree that the most dangerous ones are those who are not afraid to die knowing they will die anyway.

Guns should only be used by those in authority. Sadly, so many people today can easily acquire guns.

My views on guns haven't changed at all. I still hope that only authorized people should have guns. All I know is that guns are not the answer, it only kills and destroy lives.

You are exactly correct! I guess terrorism had the most guns and weapons than those who have a good purpose of owning it.

This book did not change my views about gun control at all. I still think less guns mean more safety even though I admit that a gun can come in very handy for self defense!
