Guns In America

Ever sense the Thursday before break the topic of ‘gun laws’ has been churning in my mind.  There is undoubtedly no easy solution, but there is definitely a solution.  Well doing some research I learned that; “Children ages 5 to 14 in America are 13 times as likely to be murdered with guns as children in other industrialized countries”.  There is a clear problem, guns have too much potential and are killing too many people. Based on this fact one could draw a conclusion that gun regulations are too lax in America.  It is easier to purchase a gun in America than adopt a pet. A gun, a machine that is made for killing, is on the market for all Americans and is easy for us to get a hold of.  We were originally given these gun rights in the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.  It protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms. But this was established in 1791, which is over two hundred years ago, so how could it possibly be relevant today? Times have changed immensely and therefore the laws should be revised to support the current world.  If guns are doing more harm than good in America today then we should start revising the regulations instead of abiding by a law made more than two hundred years ago.  What do you think should we revise the laws and make gaining access to guns more difficult of should we continue to abide by the Bill of Rights?
