The article I chose the read http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/g/gun_control/index.html
is explaining the different gun control laws passed by different presidents. Starting
with Kennedy and Martin Luther King in 1968 and ending with Obama in 2012. Gun
control is a touchy subject and brings a lot of mixed feeling to a lot of
people. In 1994 president Bill Clinton passed the first bill to ban certain
kinds of assault weapons and to require a background check before purchase. In 2008 the Supreme Court ruled that the bill
of rights include a guarantee of the people’s right to own a gun. I know this
is a touchy subject and different people have a different look on the
situation, but banning guns in my opinion will only cause more crime. I think a
better screening, not selling full auto weapons, and a stricter standard of
sale would be more beneficial than the total ban of weapons. Obama just stated
he will try to pass the ban as soon as possible and allow illegals into our
country, ha four more years of suffering.
