Amendment Gun control
Ever since the
birth of America , people have used guns to defend themselves. A the beginning
of the settlement of the country, settlers from Europe had to defend themselves
against the indians. They arrived in places where only the Indians lived.
The Plain Indians
were warriors and there were massacres.
Settlers had to
protect themselves, they carried guns and used them.
They developed a
waggon syndrom. According to this syndrom, people people felt the need to
organize in a circle and to shoot if they felt threatened by the Indians.
Later, after 9/11,
the attack on the Twin Towers, people felt threatened, they were afraid of
everything. So they started to carry guns, more than before. In Colorado today,
people are allowed to bear arms in a holster in the street. This is quite
recent then.
