Gun Control

Simply saying the words Sandy Hook Elementary School, out loud, is something that tends to evoke a lot of emotion from people. The tragic event that took place there, less than a month ago, is the source of recent heated discussion on gun control. Had, 20 year old Adam Lanza, not been able to get his hands on a gun, A lot of innocent lives could have been saved. Gun control issues have always been widely discussed but the events that took place in Newtown, Connecticut has surfaced many new opinions. I think greater restrictions need to be made. I don't think banning certain weapons is the answer to less violence. I think greater restrictions on people that are allowed to get their hands on a gun is the first step in protecting Americans. There needs to be tighter restrictions on gun sales. If guns aren't getting into the wrong hands then the chance of violent actions taking place are greatly reduced. I'm aware that this won't solve everything, but t's a step in the right direction.
