Guns Regulation

In Do We Have The Courage To Stop This? Nicholas D. Kristoff explores the problem of gun regulation talks about how the people are regulating other non important laws, instead of focusing on the big idea about guns.

This article includes some interesting facts. There was some facts that I think was more interesting and important such as children  at the ages of 5 to 14 in America are 13 times as likely to be murdered with guns, etc. There was also a fact that I found interesting which was guns kill 30,000 Americans a year.  I feel that guns are too easy to get to now and days and I feel that they need to come up with a new law for the guns policy because too many people are losing their lives to immaturity.


I feel that people that killed others for no reasons don't sometimes be in their right minds , but still that don't means that its okay for them to do what they do. I also feel that those that kills others should not have assess to guns in any type of way but it will be more easier if the law really changed. At least those that do have guns should not put it in a place that they know someone else could get to easier. I still believe that guns should not be allowed because their are innocents that have been killed by it.


I do believe that this article reminded me of the recent shooting that just happened  in Colorado. There were two guys that killed innocent children and adults  just because they were supposling not in their right mind I called that being irresponsible but mostly foolish. These two incidents make me realize that life is really short.


From what I read from this article and what I been thinking already before reading this article is that its not too safe living in this innocent world of ours. I feel that people is going to be scared now to leave their house because they might be afraid that they might get shot. I feel that we live in a free bullets society because their are bullets flying everywhere and that just terrifies me every time I think about it.


This article left me with some unanswered questions such as when are the laws going to change about this gun issues? Why are the government not taking this gun issues serious? Why are people so heartless now on days? Why don't people think before doing things especially bad things? I just hope that my questions can be answer in the  future.

  1. You ask some good questions at the end. Perhaps the article does not do a very good job of explaining why many oppose gun regulations. 95
