Current Event # 1: Obama's 23 Executive Orders

                On Wednesday, January 16th 2013, President Barrack Obama signed twenty three executive orders  on gun control in response to the recent shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.

              Not only is this the strongest effort to control gun violence in decades, but this very forward action goes to show how strongly the president feels about the safety of Americans. The executive orders include but are not limited to, things such as required background checks on all gun sales, restoration of ban on military assault weapons, a ban on gun magazines with capacities of more than ten rounds, and more severe penalties for illegal gun sales. I believe that the passing of these laws may aid in the creation of a safer america in the sense that there will be a lower number of unqualified gun owners. Yet there will always be the issue of the safety of American free will and our gun rights.
