Notebook Week 2 - 5j

Gun Control has been an issue for as long as there have been guns in the world. With a firearm, anyone can inflict terrible injury and death upon anyone. Heros, villains, male, female, white, black it does not matter. Anyone can purchase a gun. So with all of this, what are the options to avoiding another 17-month-old baby from being shot in the face? With mass shootings appearing more often in the news some precaution has been suggested; arming teachers, have a stricter background check and ban assault weapons are some ideas purposed to Congress. However, each solution has its issues.
