Yes you don't have to use it. Just get rid of it. And say no to gun violence. Every person who stops using guns is a step in right direction. Thats one less gun thats going to be used to kill. Yes there are times when guns are required. But you can't make such a decision to shoot another person without thinking it through. Hell you could shoot your own family member just as easily, if its dark for example, and they are simply getting home late. It could be your own son coming to surprise you after a long trip, and getting home in middle of the night. ANd he has keys to the house. More often than not guns kill people, and many times its an accident. Why have such things on hand. Many times people go hunting and kill other people just going through the woods. It happens hundreds of times every year. Why have such weapons. You can be cautious your entire life and one day boom. You just killed your own son. And you can never get them back. Now for example, if you didn't have the gun, your son would still be alive. Why have such dangerous weapons around? Many people will shoot and ask questions later. Many have guns right in their car, and will use them when they get road rage. Or just to scare other people. This is 2015. We need to take our humanity to new level of peace. Owning a gun is just asking for trouble.
