My Opinion |
For the most part, I agree with my non-fiction author Gabrielle Giffords. It is true that guns are not pulling their own triggers but something must be done to stop the shootings that have been appearing in the news.
I believe that if we make guns harder to obtain, increase the laws in that specific way, than we can reduce the crimes by guns. |
