Humans invented guns for other humans of all races and genders to be able to protect themselves. A gun is a firearm which the shooter loads shells, if a shotgun, or cartridges, if a rifle or pistol, into.

Gun Control Every time we flip on the news we see a new story explaining a shooting in Chicago. Drive-by shootings are so common now in Chicago that we barely have time to explain one story without skipping to the next current one. To assume that we do not have a problem with guns in the Chicago/Illinois community is wrong.
