Clinton And Gun Control

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C04E7D9173FF93AA35756C0A96F958260&scp=1&sq=Hillary+Clinton+AND+gun+control&st=nyt
Hillary is one who believes that there should be more gun control in our nation. Now there are kids out there that are 18 that are able to have guns (excluding hunting). Back before she was running for president she really wanted to change the gun control because she heard of stories from parents whose children had been killed or injured by gunshots. Having talked to these parents shows that she wants to change the gun control in the United States. She came up with proposals that would change the age to own a gun, the addiction of background checks for people who buy guns at shows, and never allowing juveniles who have violent crimes. Clinton is correct with adding gun control to try to prevent violence with guns.
There are people that are able to get guns illegally, but we cannot stop this because this is happening everywhere. If we never let criminals own a gun it will help cut the number of injuries with guns because usually when someone shoots someone, they will probably do it again. If Clinton can limit the people who have already injured someone, then violence will go down. At high school there were the kids that I imagined owning a gun later in their life. This number was small and if they every used the gun wrong and hurt someone, and got their gun taken, the number would go down for the future. It is sad when children get killed or injured by gunshots and it can affect them the rest of their life. The kids could always be scared and will not be able to live a normal life like they could before they got wounded. Clinton knows what needs to be done with gun control to make the nation safer and more enjoyable.
