Healthcare. Job creation.
Drilling. Debt. These are some of
the topics you probably have read about during the 2012 election campaigns. Adding
to the mix, for the first time in a long time, is gun control. After the events that occurred in Colorado, President
Obama has made it clear that he believes that to stop another tragedy like that
one, new gun laws should be made. He wants to ban certain guns from public use
and conduct better background checks. I agree that better background checks
could help the problem a little bit, but I also agree with his opponent. If
someone wants a gun that badly and can’t get one legally they will find a way
to get a gun illegally, any gun they really want really. The problem is either
way you look at it guns are getting in the wrong hands. It’s our right to own a
gun; guns can save lives and take them. I believe leaving guns in the hands of
the police and soldiers has the possibility of preventing premature death. If
it was up to the people who can own guns, who would you say has the right to
have and use a gun?
Well according the 2nd Amendment everyone has the right to own one if they want. But I said this before, what is a semi-automatic going to do when all you possibly need for protection is a LOT smaller. Yeah , true they will go out and get one illegally but it won't be as easy. I think the whole point is to make it more difficult for the people. That's what I feel Obama is trying to do. He's not saying you can't own a gun , he's just saying you can't own a CERTAIN type of gun. Steps I feel should have been taken at the start of his administration.
