Tougher Gun Control

In this article, Senator Schumer is calling for harsher gun control laws in the U.S. Written by Margaret Lau, the author argues first explains the statistics of gun-related deaths in the United States every day, 34, as well as many other statistics envolving gun-control. The Author then goes on to argue that the type of ever-haul that the Senator is going for here is much too large in the timescale that he is discussing, requiring gun shops much stress. This might be true, but I personally believe that harsher gun laws would be a blessing and a curse, I believe that the uproar over such things would be hell to bear but it needs to be done. More and more weapons are finding their way into the hands of criminals and there needs to be an end put to it. With harsher gun laws, it will become more difficult for the "bad guys" to gain access to them. If you aren't a criminal and you want to but a Glock 9mm to shoot at the range every now and then, no problem. Go right ahead. But as for the pick pockets and robbers, lets up the background checks first.
