Religious violence is hard to understand in some ways, and easy to understand in others. If a reader is reading objectively, and happens to peruse some of the earliest pages of the Bible and the Koran, respectively, he or she may be shocked at what resides there. Again, simply by reading objectively, the reader can discern the degree of favoritism patently shown in these books, which make many attempts to lionize one particular religion and vilify virtually all of the others. For instance, there are certain passages in Genesis in which God is speaking to Abraham and is promising him that he will deliver him land (Genesis 15). Why does God need land, the prudent reader might wonder? Why do his 'chosen people' need land, and if so, why are there other 'non-chosen' people living on it, then? The answer, unfortunately, appears to be to justify religious violence. There are examples in the Koran that are even more overt, and outright state that Muhammad and his followers must combat the infidels.
As to whether or not guns should be in the hands of United States citizens I certainly believe that they should. But there should not be a black market for them, and they should not be so easy to get. Most of all, they should not be in the hands of fools and crazy people. Anything can be used as a weapon, but guns are some of the most deadly weapons. I believe that the second amendment does support citizens having the right to keep and bear arms. However, I believe that such weapons should be heavily regulated. The same way that it is difficult to get money, material objects, homes, and other luxuries, I believe that guns should be that well regulated and difficult to get.
