Gun control and the banning of guns often come up as a hotly debated issues in political circles.
Some politicians are determined to ban virtually all guns.
Here's a story that lends good argument as to why Americans must remain armed:
On Oct. 18, 1991, George Jo Hennard drove his truck through a window in Luby's Cafeteria in Kileen, Texas, and then opened fire on a lunch crowd of over 100 people, killing 23 and injuring 20 more.
Hennard then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. The incident was one of the deadliest shootings in U.S. history.
