Gun Laws

How is it that people cannot seem to agree on gun laws?

So my main issue on this post is gun laws. Why is it that people cannot seem to agree on gun laws, we all know

that guns are bad and are capable to killing anything and anyone, but I guess you could say that all depends on

 the person holding the gun. Guns should be used for professional use for people that are the police or in the

 military. So why? Okay, so one of the amendments of course is the "Right to bear arms." I feel that when this

 was written as a part of the Constitution times were different. Nowadays people seem to be getting crazier and

 crazier (not to say that there weren't crazy people in the Constitution days, there were). People are overusing the

 main purpose of guns. Yes they are meant to kill, but for defending purposes when in danger, or in other cases

 when you live in the wild and need to put food on the table. More and more people are dying because of guns.

 For example, the cartoon above show that there isn't really an answer as to how many people are dying because 

of guns. It seems that something is being finally done just a bit here in my state of Colorado, Yahoo News 

states, "Colorado's governor will sign three gun control bills into law on Wednesday, including one banning 

ammunition magazines with more than 15 rounds in a state that has experienced two of the deadliest mass 

shootings in U.S. history." This is a step. I believe that gun usage needs to be controlled. These mass killings 

cannot be continued. Only pistols should be the only guns that could be used as a self defense gun, besides that 

I think all other guns should be gone and out of the hands of EVERYONE! (of course except police, military, etc.)

Also, there should be enforced background checks and mental evaluation and history.

The government needs to find a solution to this problem. Guns are only hurting this country!
