Earlier this week, the Senate voted to end the fillibuster on gun control laws and decided to act. In efforts to gain support, President Obama traveled throughout the country giving speeches in hopes to gain public opinion of gun laws. But has this really helped? After all the campaigning, the Senate agreed on a background check plan that was proposed, but has a lot of wiggle room in it. I mean, I guess it's progress, but at least make the proposition effective in the cause it's aiming to help, stopping guns. A weak law will help, but not as much as Americans have been looking for. As Obama said, "This is not about politics." I firmly agree with this statement. No matter what political party or ideals you associate yourself with, stricter gun laws is about keeping all of us safe. And honestly, gun laws cannot make the gun situation worse. Things can only get better with increased difficulty in purchasing guns. Change needs to be made in our society, and that cannot be disputed. Hopefully some positive changes will start to go into effect in the near future with the outcome of a safer society for all of us.
