“Gun control is not the answer”
is an article that focuses on how shooting incidents cannot be generalized, and
asserts that “ridding the country of guns is a hopeless -- and unconstitutional
mission.” The article explains how in order to stop violence in our country we
need to address the cause of the violence. Granderson believes that guns are a symptom of
a larger problem. The larger problem being “poverty, mental health and failing
schools.” Granderson’s main point is
that not only is the notion of ridding America of guns impossible and unconstitutional;
It would not address the problem of violence in our society.
In
my opinion, this article is worth reading because it takes a unique an
practical angle on why gun control is a bad idea in America. I think that even
people who strongly oppose gun rights could get something out of this article.
