                                   Senate fails the people

                           Yesterday the Senate didn't pass the common-sense gun reform, which would require people would purchase guns undergo a background check. Twelve people went to the Senate who lost their love ones at the mass shooting Sandy Hook. They were hoping they would pass the law, as so was I, but that didn't happen. Which is so disappointing and unfair to America and the victims and their families. How can someone not pass the bill, especially to those young children, who lost their lives.  Those who voted against the gun reform didn't even had one reason for why they shouldn't pass it, but it was all about politics, the second amendment. I know it's our right as a people to bear arms, but it isn't a right for innocent people to die due to someone else stupidity or mental problems that bear arms. Enough is Enough! America as a nation needs to take a stand to make a gun reform. The reform would have better background checks, and background checks for those purchasing guns, ban assault weapons, and limit high capacity ammunition magazines. It would prevent a gun being in the wrong hands. 

Call your Senator to make a difference!!!

  2. I agree with you on the fact that we should have more background check before selling a harmful weapon to some crazy person. But i don't think we should ban gun because we are taking away peoples right for some crazy,psycho person who used gun for evil did. After all it's not the guns, its the people who kill.
