Freedom Also Has Limits

Is freedom good? Many people will say yes. Since few decades ago, or maybe some centuries ago, people always find and demand the thing that called freedom. They argued that the freedom is one of the basic human rights that have to be fulfilled whatever the condition is. However, I do not think so. Nowadays, for example, many people tend to demand more that the freedom that they get, even they misuse the freedom that has been given to them. Furthermore, they do not want to be responsible of what they have done.

I think it is still fresh in our mind when we heard the sad news about Virginia Technology University Massacre. Because of he feel being bullied by his friends, a South Korean guy entered one of the university blocks, locked its doors, entered the classrooms, and shoot all the people in that block with guns that he bought few days before. His stupid act caused 32 people died. Most of the people who died are teenagers that still have long life to go and also bright future in front of them.

This example shows us how horrible the effects of freedom to own weapon. This article, which I refer to, explains that the government of Virginia State wanted to make gun control law. But why only know? Why only after the massacre happened? Why the government only starts to step forward after 32 people died.
I think people can not get all the freedom they want. There are some freedoms that are dangerous if they are still allowed. Refer to the article, the freedom to own weapon in American is the suitable example for this argument. Personally, I think this freedom is unnecessary. Maybe people want to have weapon for the protection for themselves, but have ever the government think that the people can purposely misuse the real function of gun and use it to kill the people they do not like. If the people still want to have gun, it means that the people does not believe the police, and it is the must for the government to increase the citizen's beliefs to the police.

In conclusion, I think freedom is important, everyone have to have their own freedom, but there are several freedoms that people do not need to get for the individual and also society's safety and security.

In addition, I think we, especially the students that sometimes become naughty and like to bully our friends, can take one precious lesson from the Virginia Tech Massacre. Sometimes maybe we like to bully our friends, and we think that act is interesting and entertaining, but we have to think that maybe that person does not like it. It will be better for us to care with our friends and not bully them seriously. If one day the person come to our classes with .44 mm magnum, so it means that we do not have to regret anymore, so think about it.
