Guns.

The only thing that comes along with it is 'Blood Bath'.

As a person who only like playing FPS games (First Player Shooter) like Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead 2, guns are a muse to me. I would get ecstatic whenever I get to have a hand on a good gun, normally the assault rifle, AK-47 or a sniper rifle. Why? Because it feeds my soul whenever I get to kill enough. That satisfactory feeling when you could feel when you kill someone with that good gun in hand. How is that not possible to enjoy? Headshots? Using melee weapons to kill people? HOW IS THAT NOW FUN?!

Then again, this is after all video games based. This should never be implemented into reality. Coming from a country that has a ban with ownership of guns, I know how dangerous a gun is. One shot at the right place, and that person is dead. Logically saying, there is no way a video game could be made if there is not realism in it. Of course, there has to be a reality to it, to provide people with a virtual made-believe feeling. But we all know that this kind of things are inhumane in reality.

Initially when I heard of the news about the mass shooting in America, I was oblivious about it. Part of me felt like, 'it's not my country, it's nothing to do with me'. Then recently I have been on YouTube, and I came across videos about debates regarding gun bans in America. I felt a relieve that they are finally implementing it, or at least a thought of implementing it. What shocks me most, was the intense debate that was going on, because of this thought.

As a person who plays shooting games and enjoying it, I agree that guns should not be in the hands on citizens. If it's the reason : 'we people need to protect ourselves from the harm of other people', I would say that you need not worry if you have your trust with your government that you have elected. Why would you need guns when you know you have policemen around, and that they are supposed to give you protection when needed. And if everyone has no guns, why do we need to be afraid of other people?

Aren't we all humans? Aren't we all the same? We all watch movies about psychopaths who owns guns and would go around killing in whatever way they could, often slowly and in a very gruesome way too. Yet, I don't understand why do we still need to have the need for guns. When guns fall into the wrong hands, there is no telling what a person can do with it. EXAMPLE, mass shooting in a few places in America. How can you feel safe knowing that someone has that item that could threaten to end your life in any given second?

Imagine if everyone is scared, and everyone has guns, and everyone starts doubting each other.. would this end up as the game similar to Hunger Games? Except with GUNS? Where it only takes one perfect shot to end one's life? Why can't we leave the guns to the proper authorities to handle them? Why America, Why?

During that debate, they kept bringing up statistics and examples of other troubled countries into discussion. One that I caught was that women in India were signing petition to have rights to own guns against violent men. Then in Mexico, criminal rates are in high statistical results even though they have a ban in owning guns. What I would say that, it's the government who is failing to provide protection for its people. It's your own country, for heaven's sake. Who else could you look for protection other than your own government?

If I ever had the chance to have a gun in my hand, I really wouldn't be surprised if I would end up in jail just because I shot someone in the head just because I feel threatened, or simply because I feel like it and then give a statement and say I FELT THREATENED, and I get freed.

With that said, I am going back to my virtual world and shoot some people.
