In the article "Do we have the courage to stop this" by Nicholas D. Kristof he points out to the readers that guns are not as regulated as other things in society. Such as people buying cars and drinking, it takes more to get that than to purchase a gun. Also that children and adults aren't safe with the rules that apply to us now.

The article includes quotes from health specialists, federal authorities, and the NRA. They believe that the plan he wants to go through with can reduce gun deaths by 1/3 which is equal to 10,000 deaths. Something that stood out to me is that more americans have died in gun homicides and suicides in six months than have died from terrorist attacks in the last 25 years. This shows that guns are a serious problem in America.

I think he presents many great points about guns and regulating them. I think his plan would work great and help prevent deaths in the U.S with guns. Before this I thought it would be very hard to stop the deaths but he changed my mind and I see it's possible with a few easy moves. This is serious and should be solve quickly without wasting any time.

This article made me ponder about many things. It made me wonder am I protected as well as I could be. I could find it out by asking people do they feel safe and if they think they could be protected better.
