Should the government legalize guns for all citizen?

just as everything disadvantage has an advantage, so does every advantage has a disadvantage, what I saw online yesterday Sunday almost broke me down, kind of painful, I never thought people still have the mind to do such evil.

Happy Monday guys, hope your Sunday went well and not stressed as mine, do have a wonderful day ahead, though people always say the only day that is stressful more than Monday is the day after Sunday, haha, take care guys.

Yesterday Sunday, there was an attack in a church in one of the states in my country, the gunmen who we believe to be unknown for now, though some people start pointing finger, the source didn't mention names, so I can't write what people think that cause it, the gun men went into the church with guns and explosives, they opened fire on the members while the service was going on, about more than 50 people died, some died in the church while some gave up the ghost in the hospital.

No place is safe in the country again, hardly a day goes by that we don't hear one or more bad news, especially killings and kidnapping, kidnapping has been the most popular crime in the country now, especially when traveling from state to state, one needs to save up money for ransom before traveling so when he or she gets kidnapped, the family will be able to pay up quick.

This reminds me of @Kushyzee article when he talked about citizens of united states having the right to firearms or perhaps guns, he also talked about a man that went into the church and wanted to start gunfire but unfortunately for him, he was gunned down before he could start gunfire because the members of the church have their guns too, this is called, trusting God but handling my battle.

If guns were also legalized in my country, won't it be better? Though they will be disadvantages and people will start misusing it, especially those that have some unfinished business to settle (quarrel) it might just end up with gunfire, and some innocent people might die in the process as well. Just like they say goes “When two elephants fight against each other, the grass will be the one to suffer”

There are so tribes that are free to carry guns and the police won't do anything about it, like the Fulani herdsmen, there were times when these guys were killed in the east and the government didn't take their guns from them, if these guys are still holding guns freely till today, don't you think everyone should at least have theirs at home for safe defense? Cause we can't trust the security agency to show up on time, most times they might not have fuel to move their vehicle, before they will arrive at the scene sometimes the robbers would have done what they came to do and leave.

As much as I don't want firearms to be legalized, I believe that people should have the right to protect themselves, cause the country is kind of getting worst every day, is anywhere safe? That's a deep question, if Americans that always preach one nation has legalized firearms to the citizen, what are we that are not even united as a nation, do you think we can survive like this for long? Do you think we will have one united nation in Nigeria?

My condolences go to the family of those people that lost their lives while praising God, a lot of people will be blaming God for what happened to the people and they might call the church fake because people were killed in it.

A Twitter username posted a picture of both her parents that was murdered in the church, so sad, like you just speak with someone and the next thing you hear is that they are no more, the wins these people brought to the citizen is so unbearable, where will the ones that lost their loved ones start from, what is now running through their mind as of now?

Another Twitter user wrote that, if they can legalize guns for safe defense, at least churches should have armed guards, that will be watching over the church when the service is going on, there was one time I went to the stay in an area close to the University of Benin, someone invited me to their church and I went to the church that Sunday, it's a very popular church in my country and the branch I went to is very big when I go there I saw some security men with heavy weapons, my first thought was that maybe government personnel is around and that's why they are security everywhere, now I realize that they are there to guild the place, not everything needs prayers, some needs physical battle.

I believe this coming election is the one opportunity we have to vote for someone that can make the country better, we all know the ones that are killing us in the country, let's do something different this time, I don't think there is any better candidate than Peter Obi, the media has nothing on him, for me, I believe he's more qualified than the rest.

One question I asked myself is, does Nigeria have missile defense? What if something was to happen and another country want to start a war against us, hope it's not what I think will be though.
