Role of guns in America

Guns in America has pros and cons. Having a gun to protect yourself and your family is good to have because you never what somebody could wake up one day and try to do. a small hand gun would be appropriate but not a machine gun or other guns that are over the top, that most people wish to have, but that is not necessary. In that case having guns is a pro, but when it comes to cons, there a few such as, children or teen getting a hold to them, people just showing off there gun for fun or worse, to use them in unnecessary ways. Some people with guns use them to scare others and to be seen with it. Some people do not use it in the right way, which is bad because that is the way most Americans use their guns. Like stated before the role of guns can be positives, but the way people are and how they abuse the privilege sort of make the role of having a gun a negative thing, when it really shouldn't have to be.
