As
gun violence continue to rise in our country, protecting our citizens and
country is a high priority, but to some it’s not. A very few that say they love
this country rather protect a select few and not worry about their fellow American
citizens.

It’s
a known fact that the National Rifle Association has endorsed less regulations
and tougher gun laws in this country. If we are going to seek the change we
need to end gun violence, then we may need to change who represent us. Many politicians
are scared to even bring the debate up in regards to tough gun laws, because
they are scared of the National Rifle Association.
America
just take a look at what’s happening around you, and you will see that there
are to many guns on our streets. These guns have began to get in the hands of
individuals that is not worthy of having possession of a gun. But when we
experience and hear the sad news of a terrible act of violence, that is cause
by a gun; we began to feel it personal and ask ourselves why?
Sometime
tougher laws do help, it help protect those that try to do harm to you. However
it saddens me to hear Mitt Romney reject the fact that we need tougher gun laws
in America.
Mitt
Romney rejected the idea that tougher gun laws could have prevented the
deadly rampage in Aurora, Colo., saying in an interview Tuesday on NBC that a
legislative remedy would not thwart people who want to cause harm.
“Just
having a law saying someone can’t do a bad thing doesn’t always keep a person
from doing a bad thing,” the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt
Romney.
This
is not the type of individual we need leading this country to even think in a
sense as this. Mitt Romney basically said he doesn’t care, let the people do
what they want, when they want. I guess he don’t care about protecting the
lives of our citizens.
Authorities
have said that James Holmes, the Colorado shooting suspect, was able to
legally build an arsenal by ordering 6,000 rounds of ammunition on the
Internet. Mr. Romney said the goal should be to find the people who represent a
danger and prevent them from hurting others.
Well
Mitt Romney if there was tougher laws in place to prevent the purchase of such
weapons and material, then this day probably would have never happen to
America. We can avoid these types of acts and we can protect our American
citizens.
I wonder how much of an influence and contributions the National Rifle Association is sending to Mitt Romney campaign.
