The Second Amendment of the Constitution is the right to bear arms, but this right has increasingly become a hazard to the people of the United States. Congress must reform our nation’s gun regulations to ensure that magazines carrying multiple rounds of ammunition and semi automatic rifles are out of the hands of people who intend to do harm. In 1994 Congress passed a 10 year ban on assault weapons. In 1994 Congress passed a 10 year ban on assault weapons. Assault weapons are those that are capable of firing multiple rounds of ammunition quickly. Eighteen semi-automatic guns and some versions of the AR-15 rifle were covered under this ban. The bill expired in 2004 because there were not enough votes in Congress to renew the ban. The AR-15 rifle was used in the Newton Connecticut shooting. This weapon has also been chosen in several other recent mass shootings, like the Aurora movie theater shooting that killed 12 people. Two people were killed in a Portland Oregon shopping mall in December 2012 when a gun man used an AR-15 rifle. Americans cannot continue to remain silent about gun violence issues we are facing. The gun advocates in America will never stop fighting for gun control and the Americans that are pro-guns and Second Amendment rights will never stop fighting as well. Hope is not lost for the gun control advocates unless these people do fall silent.
