Gun Control Laws

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.”
