What should we do now?

Do We Have the Courage to Stop This? By Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times

The main idea of this article is that Nicholas D. Kristof of The New York Times think something should be done about the regulation on guns because too many people are dying because of guns every year and  Kristof has had enough.

Details or evidence I have from the article is when Kristof says, "American schoolchildren are protected by building codes that govern staiways and windows. School buses must meet safety standards, and the bus drivers have to pass tests. Cafeteria food is regulated for safety. The only things we seem careless about are the things most likely to kill." Another peice of evidence that I have aquired from the article is when Kristof makes another statement saying, "The Occupation Safety and Health Administration has five pages of regulations about ladders, while federal authorities shrug at serious limitations on firearms. Ladders kill around 300 Americans a year, and guns 30,000." I chose these 2 peices of evidence from the article because these are 2 major facts that really stood out to me as i was reading.

In my opinion I agree with Kristof because I think guns purchases, and actual uses killing the innocent is just rediculous. I also agree with Kristof because this gun debate has been going on for literally years and even today nothing has been done to help with the gun issue and then cops and people with the power to do something about it are always complaining about having so many criminals on the streets.

This article has helped me to think more heavily of the subject because when I first heard about this huge debate I didn't know nothing was being done to support gun control  but now that I know there's nothing happening I'm just wondering "Why? Why is nothing being done about this?" Which is probably being asked by some of you right now.
