Issue 2013: Gun Control


by Malcolm Kelsey

As we move into the New Year it is necessary as a nation that we look in the mirror and see what we can do about gun control.  Obviously, the devastation that happened a few weeks ago in Newton, Connecticut was absolutely horrible.  But can we really only blame the actions of the young man who took the lives of many children and adults for what occurred?  Of course, to an extent we can blame him, but also as a nation I believe we are at fault.  It is clear that we need to check the current system of weapon distribution in our country, so as an advisor to the president I would bring forth the question, do people really need assault rifles in their homes?  This is especially frightening if there is easy access for children and young adults to use these weapons in potentially tragic ways.  Ultimately, no one should be able to have access to simple assault rifles, as it has caused way too many problems.
