Lately in the news there has been a lot of events that involve innocent lives being taken away by a mentally unstable person with a gun. So our fantastic government's plan to fix this problem is "more guns, less regulations." Smart, right?(Noooo.) In the report the author states that our Second Amendment (the right to bear arms) basically requires regulations and what we have now is definitely not sufficient. Thankfully the New York requirement for a concealed hand gun license is no longer "proper cause". But then Illinois spoke out and said the ban for a concealed hand gun is unconstitutional.

I'm all for the whole concealed hand guns and all that, but we definitely need more laws to go with it. And finding out our government just wants to give out guns with fewer regulations just sounds like anarchy waiting to happen. So many people have been killed by a careless person with a gun, why give out more? I can understand if a teacher has a gun (as long as said teacher knows how to properly use it), but allowing someone inexperienced to handle it is going too far. Maybe owning a gun should come with the same regulations as owning a car: go through the proper training and testing to get a license.
