Our president (Barack Obama) of this country The United States of America has passed a law concerning gun control. Every person from now on purchases a gun must have legit gun license in order to own it. But was it really the smartest move?
“The US General Accounting Office (GAO) estimated that 100% of deaths per year in which a child under 6 years old shoots and kills him/herself or another child” (http://gun-control.procon.org/). According to this website it is very irresponsible to purchase a gun without a proper license and good credibility, otherwise a very irresponsible person could put his/her gun where a child could reach and accidently kill themself or put someone
else in danger.
Also, Obama passing this law was a pro because it prevents terrorist attacks, (such as ISIS). A terrorist from a different country is unable to kill multiple or harm others in any other way without a gun. If immigrants coming in from other country don’t even have citizenship in the U.S.A. then they most definately won’t be able to own a registered gun license to buy a gun.
Finally it is an advantage that Obama passed this law because according to http://www.newsmax.com/FastFeatures/gun-control-pros-and-cons/2014/09/28/id/597212/ “Gun control laws protect children and families: Moms Demand Action, a grassroots group founded in response to the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, believes guns in America are creating a public health crisis that is attacking children, citing statistics that show nearly eight American children are shot and killed every day. The group says stronger laws are the answer to protecting children.”
But all of this can be prevented with Gun Safety and Responsibility. -Lillian Reynolds
