More Regulations Against Guns

  In the article "Do we have the courage to stop this?" by Nichcolas D. Kristof he speaks of the school shooting in Connecticut and brings up the point " Why cant we regulate guns as seriously as we do cars?" as stated by Kristof. The article brings up the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and how they have so many rules and regulations against ladders. Though they don't really pay attention to the limitation of rules and regulations on firearms. Ladders do kill about 300 Americans a year. Though guns can kill up to 30,000 Americans a year.
  Kristof includes quotes from facebookers, the president and including from himself. One quote that stood out to me though was from one on of his facebook followers that said "It is more difficult to adopt a pet than it is to buy a gun." This shows that there is some really access to guns out there and that the facebooker was trying to get the point across that its so difficult to do everything else in America except being able to buy a gun.
  I think the situation in Connecticut was absolutely horrible and I agree with everyone that is saying that we need to have more regulations on guns. There could be multiple reasons that we do not have rules against guns but all I know is one thing. Guns are killers. I wish the government, president, and everyone else who makes rules in America that guns are killers and that they are so easy to access. Violence with guns need to stop so there needs to be more rules against them to stop all the gun violence from happening.
  This article makes me think that the government and other people who handle rules and regulations are quite stubborn when it comes to the well being of others. Isn't that their job though? To focus on the well being of others? By not making as many rules and regulations as they have against cars, they are not seeing clearly what is going on in the nation they live in. I hope that in the very near future they will make more rules and regulations against guns and they will stop turning a blind eye to the things that are dangerous and really matter.
