 1-   Do you think people need guns?
Yes, I think we need guns to protect ourselves because today, a lot of people are crazy and kill you without reason, like terrorists for example. I am not saying that we need guns to do anything, but for protection.

5-   Is it easy or difficult to get a gun in your country?
In my country it is easy to get a gun because in 2017 we can see that guns trafficking increases. if you know some gangsters, you can call them and they can sell you what you want.

8-   Do you think violent movies encourage the use of guns?
Surely not! It's not because  you see a movie with Hitler that you kill all Jews! It's stupid!

11-Guns don’t kill people, people do. What do you think of this?
Sure, people kill but they wouldn't if they didn't have guns, but sellers don't care who they sell their weapons to, they just want to make money.

15-Would you have a gun if you had the choice?
If I had the choice, I would have a gun to protect myself and my family, if necessary]]> 2017-04-13 21:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/Essele/i14d3s8fucfu/wish/166330665 Yannice M. Essele https://padlet.com/Essele/i14d3s8fucfu/wish/166332491
 1-   Do you think people need guns?
According to me, people don't need guns because guns are made to kill people, but they also can be useful for self-defence.

5-   Is it easy or difficult to get a gun in your country?
In my country, we're not allowed to get a gun because they are forbidden. Whereas, in the USA, people can easily get guns.]]> 2017-04-13 21:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Essele/i14d3s8fucfu/wish/166332491
