The Sandy Hook massacre in which Adam Lanza murdered 20 children and 6 adults. It was declared the second-worst shooting in American history and started a debate on gun control laws. President Obama has made gun control one the top priorities of the country.
Obama gave a speech afterwards which said "No single law, no set of laws can eliminate evil from the world or prevent every senseless act of violence in our society.
Gun control has been an issue that dates back to 1791 which allowed military to wield guns. Then in 2008 The Second Amendment stated that any individual is allowed to bear arms.
In 1968, after the deaths of Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kelly a gun control law was issued that prevented guns from being mail-ordered. Then in 1994 a law was passed that made everyone who bought a gun was to have complete background check and banned 18 semiautomatic rifles including the infamous AR-15.
Over the years the AR-15 has become a prevalent weapon among Americans. It was used by Adam in the Sandy Hook tragedy and in the Aurora, Colorado shooting (which killed 12 people and wounded 50).
But the N.R.A (National Rifle Association) say if guns are taken away then it will be harder for citizens to defend themselves. Scott Ostrosky, a gun range owner, said "A gun didn't kill all those children. A disturbed man killed all those children."
Ladd Everitt a member of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence said " We've allowed this kind of carnage to happen through our inaction".
In conclusion gun control has become a serious issue with killings of the past few years. I agree that the government haven't been on top of gun control like they should have but their not all to blame. Their are people out there that are amiable and have a clean record, but secretly is a murderous psychopath. I think the government should question people personally instead of relying on computer records. Also people should be limited to two guns because the more guns, the more problems. Finally to those people who think guns are bad, yes a gun take multiple lives, but can save even more lives so stop COMPLAINING.

ReplyDeleteYou need to get out of the habit of trying to paraphrase and pass off the work as your own. If you use 3 or more words in a row, you must put in quotation marks.
Aim to summarize, not paraphrase. Make certain you do both parts 3 and 4 of the blog post format. Do you, for instance, believe that the new security measures are Parkway are necessary?
