Gun control
"At about 11.15 a.m., a sound from outside: pop-pop-Bang...Klebold, 17 and Harris, 18, are heavily armed - an assault rifle, sawed off shotguns, handguns - shooting as they walk, ...gunshots echo. Students fall. One gets up to run and others follow...some students are slain at their desks, one with pencil still in hand. The gunmen play "peek-a-boo" with others, finding them covering under desks and opening fire...one assailant says: "Oh, my God. Look at this black kid's brain. Awesome, man! ". This is a segment of an article published by the Boulder News about the tragedy at Columbine High School. One of the most terrible disaster that happened in United States two years ago. I would like to say that this history is part of a horror film but unfortunately this is just part of our reality.Each day we watch the news, we read newspaper or magazines and we find many cases of homicides, unintentionally accidents, injuries or suicides produced by a firearm, fathers who kill their child, wives who kill their husbands, children who accidentally kill someone.

In 1992, there were 13,495 handgun murders in the United States, compared with 33 in Britain, 60 in Japan, and 128 in Canada (Hird & Reese 313). We note that crime rates are increasing because there is not a day in which the news mentions some gun shooting. How the statistics should show lower crime rates? Are we waiting another school shooting as Columbine high school to realize how important is gun control in today's society? Are we waiting that some member of our family be involved by shooted or injuried to support gun control? I hope don't. First of all, gun control was established because it will help us to be safer. Many people think that having a gun at home will help them to protect themselves in case on any assaul
