A horrible shooting in California occurred,
and again, politicians dispute about a stricter, federal gun law. Gun laws,
regulate the sale and possession of a gun. But, in every state that law varies.
Some states conceal carry permits, and some others don’t. All dependent on
state-by-state basis. Especially Texas, is pretty facile on this topic. Texas,
one of forty four states has a provision in its state constitution that is similar
to the Second Amendment of the Constitution. And, this protects the right to
keep and bear arms.
Governor
Daniel P. Mallow, remarked this week in the New York Times, that he would sign
an executive order that would put people on federal terrorism watch list, if
they buy firearms in the state. Connecticut would be the first state with
restrictions like that. Does it make sense?
Probably, but it would not prevent a shooting
in schools. What the state needs to do in the future, is to be stricter on how
a person possesses and gets a gun. There has to be some kind of permit and
course for a person before and during the time, he or she owns a gun. In
Germany, where I am from, it is almost unable to possess a gun. You have to
obtain a long time permit to own a gun and furthermore, the laws are very
strict on guns in general.
I don’t
expect that from the United States, but after all these horrifying shootings
isn’t there a time for a federal change?
