Although, we talked about this matter earlier on in the semester I just saw this video that I thought was interesting on how different the views on guns are within four friends of the same age. I would think that that because our current generation is so advanced and progressive as far as our views I would think there would be more of a solid opinion on guns and their use. Instead gun control is still a very controversial subject not just between older and younger people but actually within each generation there is debate on the matter. I think individuals beliefs on guns and their uses really sprout from one's background and up bringing. This makes sense because today guns are used for many different ways. Whether guns are being used for, violence, protection, or just as a hobby everyone has a different opinion towards them based on their own personal experiences how guns have been used.
In the video it shows the debate between four your adult males. One of the opinions discussed was how they are anti gun and have been avoided and stood clear of them. Then there is the view how it is not guns they are worried about but the hands the gun is held in which is worrying and bothersome. The last opinion was pro guns as he was raised as an eagle scout where guns have made a huge impact in his life. It is argued that guns are shown as masculine and why that is while they compare it to James Bond. This video contrasts the difference beliefs individuals hold on the purpose of guns. Some believe their only purpose is to kill people when they are really being treated like"adult toys" and not taken seriously.

I thought it was interesting that the four guy friends all had an opinion on gun control that was significantly different. When we were talking about gun control in class there were also a lot of different opinions shared by the students.
