GUN CONTROL

What both candidates are doing to prevent gun shootings

Why is it an issue?

Gun Control is a big issue because many people that own guns sometimes do not register. In some cases if a gun is registered or not, people that own these guns use them for an inappropriate purpose.

Gangs and small groups can go to any place with these guns and throw away innocent lives.

Because elections are very close, we have to know what these candidates are doing to prevent severe cases of murder and crime.

The president wants to step up background checks for those who want to purchase guns. He looks to seek a national consensus on combating violence. President Obama suggests a new debate on gun control.....
