For guns to be outlawed the government needs to take a stand to pass laws and acts that abolish guns. James Martin said that gun control “is as much of a ‘life-issue’ or a ‘pro-life’ issue”…as is abortion. He stated, “Believers of gun control should be committed to taking practical steps to restrict access to guns.” In order for guns to be banned it needs to be done in small steps to make sure they will be gone. Phil Gingrey felt that we needed to pass acts to stop the gun violence around the world. He thinks, “People should only buy guns from licensed dealers and they would have to have a background check.” In order for guns to be banned we need to start passing small acts at a time. Frank R. Lautenberg said the government should take more control on gun violence. He notes, “The FBI should retain and records of approved firearms transactions for at least 180 days.” Guns need to be checked and monitored regularly if they are going to be banned.
