For Reference:
There has been a large tug-of-war around the concept of gun
control in the United States. A lot of people desire stricter parameters for
those who are purchasing weapons and the NRA does not want to change a thing,
and in fact wants to reverse some things. Recently in Georgia, some new gun
control laws went into play and instead of taking safety into mind, they went
ahead and did away with a lot of important restrictions. Some of these new
allowances include being able to take guns into bars without the owner's
consent. The most important change is different than a new gun carry law
however, it is the fact that gun owners are no longer required to receive finger
prints for their license renewals. Not only is there no longer finger-printing
but databases on license holder are no longer legal. Personally, I'm all for
guns. I believe in the idea of self-defense and being able to defend myself,
property, or family from any possible threats. But at the same note, I believe
in restrictions on who can own guns and how easy they are to obtain. The last
thing I need while I go to sleep at night is thinking about all the lunatics
out there who can easily buy a gun. It is a paradoxical thing that I require a
gun to protect myself from other people with that same gun. But I digress, I
believe gun restrictions are necessary, we need more of them, and we need the
NRA to stop strong arming the representatives we expect represent us. The NRA
is almost beyond gun rights in their zealous war against restrictions and
control on guns.
I agree with Tran is saying about gun control. I don’t think that gun control should be taken lightly I believe that we need more supervision on guns not less like the NRA is doing in Georgia. I think that it is a bad idea to remove some of these restrictions such as not fingerprinting the gun owners. If we can’t match the gun to its owner then we have no idea who committed a crime. When the NRA says that we won’t finger print people it gives them more of a reason to commit a crime because they know it won’t be traced back to them. So I believe that Han Tran is right in saying that we should be more cautious with our gun regulations.
