Gun Control

When President Obama visited Virginia at the Town Hall he brought up gun control. President Obama wants to take away the guns of law-abiding Americans. Obama also thinks that guns need to stay out of the hands of the people so they won't harm themselves or other people. He thinks that if average people don't have guns at all it would save families from heartbreak.

I chose this topic because I enjoy hunting. The government should not take away all guns. I believe that you don't need a machine gun at all unless you are in the army. A rifle is important for hunting because it kills accurately and quickly. This gun does not kill rapid fire style. The weapons used in the mass murderers, in the past few years have all been semi automatic. Those should be banned in my opinion. There are guns you could use to hunt and protect yourself, semi automatics are not included. I think they should make the laws more strict, but not band all guns.

This article relates to AP Government because this week we have talked about public opinion. Public opinion is the views of the public. This article relates to public opinion because this issue is highly talked about by the public.
