Within the past few years, the issue with guns has reached a devastating point. The United States had never recorded so many school shootings in such short amount of time before. Of course, the argument is about whether or not Americans should be allowed to bare arms. That is a common issue with our country these days. They ask “should it or should it not?” rather than asking “how can we make what we have better?”. Instead of getting rid of the right completely, they could perfect the law we have now to make it safer. I read Despite Parkland Shooting, Florida Trails Other States in Gun Control Efforts By Noreen Marcus to justify my response.
In the article I read, it talks about Florida not being able to pass the new laws for better gun control. Since it is the second Amendment, people want their rights to stay the same. These were mostly people from the southern states. Though, I believe the laws should only need to be adjusted. They should make it difficult to get a gun with proof of a background check on each individual attempting to purchase. These students who are attacking schools are mostly young in age. This means either the people selling did not make sure they were of age or their parents did not carefully look after the weapon. Therefore, the law should be adjusted to make sure guns do not fall into the wrong hands.
