Question

• What is your stance on gun rights?

• What is your stance on legalization of drugs?

Answer 1

1- Personally, i feel that there has to be a fierce gun control law. Guns must not be permitted at all. The private ownership of guns is to be completely prohibited.

This is because in the so called developed world and the twenty first century, there have been increasing instances of violent crimes.

Every year, there are incidences of killings of the people by a common citizen or a school child/ adolescent using parent's gun and shooting innocent people.

There have been case of suicides as well. I feel that the police are capable of protecting us and possessing guns creates more problems than sovling them.

United States is the country with the most number of guns in the world. According to various studies, it has been found that there are currently more than 115 guns per 100 people in the US.

The availability of the magazines with higher capacity leads the scenario into a mass murdering one. This has to be eradicated and it seems to be possible only through gun control.

2- I feel personally that drugs should not be legalised. This is because-

1- There has been an obvious/ natural tendency in human beings to use the mind altering substances and history conveys that it proved to be problematic. Hence we must not repeat the same mistakes.

2- Legalising drugs will communicate to the citizens that it is a fine behaviour and there's nothing wrong with it. But eventually it will lead to self harm or the harm to others around.

3- There are numerous disorders and health concerns related to drug use. Throat and lung cancer are the most significant of them and have already damaged life of thousands of people.

4- According to escalation theory, using one drug leads to temptation to use other and more drugs. This is indeed dangerous.

5- Work life of employees and the efficiency at work will definitely suffer as human beings have a tendency to consume drugs anytime when they get addicted.
