Mashek, john. "NRA Gun Control Fright Protects Criminals, and Congress Must." U.S. News and world report 31 March. 2009,


The article was about the “Obama administration is unwilling to confront the Nation Rifle Association.” How we need stricter gun laws. That it needs to be better background searches. It talked about “ crazed gunman” killing people in towns. That “the second amendment does not protect armed killers or unlawful sellers of guns that cause harm to fellow citizens”.


When reading this article I feel bad that people stole other peoples life. However not everyone who has a gun goes around killing people. Most people who own guns know how to handle them to some point. I think most people know not to point a gun at some one unless you have the intent to shoot them common knowledge. I didn’t find this article helpful in proving that gun control is not the right answer to our problem.
