With the situation about the gun control in the United States was becoming a big deal way before the shooting in Tucson, for instants, the shooting at Columbine High School on Colorado. We all know that the two seniors shot and killed 12 students and one teacher, but also injured 21 other students. Then there was the shooting at Virginia Tech, the shooter killed 33 people. I don’t think that we should make the gun law stricter, I think that they should be a lot harder to get them. Morgan makes a great point about how upset people will get if or when the government changes the gun law. People love their rights, but some people do not know when it is time for a change. When teenagers and young adults are getting guns like they go and buy a soda, there needs to have some more restrictions.
With the comments that Paul Lepage made, I think, was out of context, because he should have never said “they can kiss my butt”. He should have stated simply that he was not going to be able to make it. By saying this comment he could start the rumors of him being racist. It could also state that he does not want anything to do with people that are not directly working with him. I think it was morally wrong because he needs to start thinking about other more and treating them the way he would like to be treated. He is the head of the state of Maine and everyone looks to him for guidance.
