There has been another spark in the gun control debates in light of the recent events that occurred in Las Vegas. We found an article that discusses the changes of gun control and how it has evolved over time, maybe for the worse.
Dating back to the 1930’s, fully automatic weapons were banned or had extremely strict regulations in regards to obtaining them. Franklin D. Roosevelt wanted to
keep these dangerous weapons under federal control. As time went on, gun laws have changed and now vary throughout states. There are different requirements to obtain and carry a gun in each state that diminishes the efforts of former presidents to keep guns federally controlled.
It can be argued that as a country, we cannot agree on sensible gun regulations, but what will change it? The article questions if anything will spark change for gun laws. There have been multiple mass shootings throughout the past couple of years, ranging from Sandy Hook to Orlando, to current day Las Vegas. When will it be enough for government to realize, enough is enough?
