Gun control

In this blog we will be talking about gun control and gun violence. The blog will explain who's trying to stop the gun control acts and who are trying to enforce them, also what gun control would do to help the living environment of the people. We will also focus on how gun control will be bad for the environment. Gun control has been around for ages, in 1934 a strict gun act was set stating that strict registration requirements were to be taken when buying machine and long barreled gun.In 1968 the Gun Control Act was put into effect saying minors and those with a criminal record could not perches guns. Organizations try and in force these laws but it doesn't seem like their trying hard. Every time we turn on the news its always,theres been a shooting, people have died from a shooting. Some like the National Rifle Association are not helping the cause by disagreeing with these laws.If we could in force these laws life wouldn't be were it is today. Most deaths in the U.S. come from gun violence. Most being gang activity.We all remember the shooting of Columbine High school massacre were kids were murdered by there own class mates. They brought a number of rifles and hand guns to school and killed over 50 people. If we could have stoped the purchasing of these guns I might have never happened. We just need to start enforcing these laws and making adjustments for the future. If we don't take action now the problem will only get worse.
