Last week I came across this article called Gun Control Laws-10 Better Ways the Government can Reduce Violence, this caught my eye
because of all the talk swirling around the nation about gun control and what
can be done about it. Everyone has their own opinions about the laws surrounding
the problem but this specific article made more sense to me than anything else
I’ve heard about actually “solving” the problem. The author of the article John
Ashman had a lot of validate points in his article and backed them up with a few
facts surrounding gun ownership and violence. He stated something that really hit
home for me by stating that there are things that can be done right now to
reduce violence instead of debating about who is right or wrong about the guns
laws. Ashman says, that while he is aware that guns can be dangerous, let’s try
taking a different approach and have more consequences for repeat offenders and
have some preventive measures in place. He ends by saying if the government is
going to take our Second Amendment away because it will save lives then they
need to be “able to demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that it simply isn't
necessary.”
