Should Guns Be Banned In The US?

14 Dec

Today has been a sad day, not only for the parents and families of the 27 victims massacred at Sandy Hook School in Connecticut, America but for the entire world.

The world was informed earlier on today that 20 young children that attended the school were brutally shot with a gun used by a teacher’s son.

According to the Washington Post, the killer has been identified as Adam Lanza, only 20 years of age.

The laws on guns in the United States have long been debated and we are now forced to re-question whether laws should be tightened like in Britain, where the possession of a firearm is a serious offence leading to a prison sentence.

Let us all pray for those involved in the day’s horrific events, that they will be granted peace and forgiveness.
