Gun Control Debate


After the shooting that occurred at a school in Newtown, Connecticut that killed 27 people, the citizens of the United States have been calling upon the government to implement stricter laws on ownership of guns. Vice President Joe Biden has been given the task of creating recommendations for President Obama on this important issue. Biden has discovered that many people strongly believe that background checks should be performed on everyone who tries to purchase a gun. After Biden’s meeting with the National Rifle Association, the group was disappointed that the conference did not focus as much on mental diseases and school safety as they had hoped.

  2. I agree that this is a very important issue, but it's hard to stop the shootings because i feel like there has always been ways to get guns and have them. so if it's a really bad person i think they would find a way to get the gun. it's sad, but true, something more needs to happen.
