Issue 2013: Gun Control


by Lindsay Egan
For the New Year, I think we need to address the big elephant in the room: Gun control. Everyone has an opinion on it. After all of the shootings in the past year, and one earlier this month, how can we make light of what is happening? I doubt trying to change the Constitution will happen, but proposing new, stricter limits on gun ownership could definitely help. Having the right to bear arms is an important asset to many Americans, but we need to be more careful on who we give those guns to. I also think we should work on bringing our nation closer together and being less divided.

  1. In my opinion criminals are still going to have acess to guns so making gun laws stricter will only make it harder for regular people to get guns, which creates more of a problem in my opinion.

  2. I agree on Jason's part but I think you have a good point here Lindsay. I don't really think we can know the kinda of person we are supplying guns to that piece is just inevitable. I think there are some way were we can just abolish the fact that simple assault rifles are being sold to people who probably in their defense don't need them.
