Would you have a gun in your own home, why or why not?

As soon as I saw the topic, I remembered that my first time of seeing a real gun at a store in the Eau Claire Mall. Yes, it was my first time to see a gun, even though without bullets. I was excited as well as frightened. Why that I behaved like a freak from the Mars? You know, in China, guns are forbidden publicly and privately, while, only the army and the police have the rights to use guns. Such policy is quoted from the Chinese Constitution.

And I know that gun plays a significant role in America. Many fields in America rely on gun industry. So, citizens here are, supposed to have guns for fun of hunting and also for their safeties.

While, as for me, even if I have the right to have a gun, I will not have one in my own home. The followings are my reasons. Guns are symbols of insecurity, although it is always thought of protective. Guns, same like the controversial new clear powers, are signs of distrust. Owning a gun at home, may smooth or light the psychological pressures, but it may also lead to the selflessly terror. So, as for me, who is a kind of timid people, even dare not holding the weapon which can lead to deadly harms. That’s so cruel. And also, if I visit my friend who has a gun under her pillow or in the drawer, I would definitely be scared. So, I want my home to be a safety land where there is no violence, no gun fires, and only it has is the interactive trust.

In conclusion, I would not keep a gun in my home as for my own concerns and others’ safety.
