Gun Control Bills Analysis

The article “The Dirty Secret About The Four Senate Gun Control Bills” by John R. Lott points out that all the gun control laws aren’t helping anything. John starts off by talking about the Orlando massacre, and how the government was trying to help prevent that. Then he goes on to talk about the senate gun control laws trying to be passed for the purpose of stopping shootings such as the Orlando Massacre. But the fact is that the gun control bills, if passed before the Orlando Massacre, would have done nothing to prevent it. The bills just didn’t do anything to help prevent the massacre.

And then it remind me of the fact that the reason why the colonists revolted was because the government denied us of our rights, and the fact that it was becoming corrupt. We had an entire war based on the fact that we weren 't receiving our rights, and coerce unfair laws on us. And, in my opinion, that is what is happening today. In conclusion, the hardships we’re facing today seems very much alike events that took place in earlier
