Blog #2 President Obama and Gun Control


           According to USA Today on February 4th President Obama went to Minneapolis to talk about gun laws. Minneapolis is one place in the United States with the most murder rate that involves guns. The President wants to have a ban on assault rifle and have a limit on ammunition clips. The NRA does not want to have a background check every time someone buys a gun because they said it would so little to stop criminal from getting those guns. Minneapolis Police said that every time they recover a gun at a crime scene they traced it back to an owner. The problem was that the gun was either lost or it was given to someone else. So a gun could have been transfer about fifteen times before it reaches the police. This article is worth reading because it tells us what the Nation is thinking about gun laws. As you can see for the pass couple months guns has been on the top list of news so I think it is worth reading.
