The White House is deciding to broaden the gun control bans. Instead of just reinstating a ban on assault riffles, it's being discussed to take it much further. The law would include background checks and tracking of weapons and sales of weapons through a national database, also if you brought a gun near a school the penalties would be much higher, and giving a gun to a minor would have much greater penalties. President Obama has given the job of designing this strategy after Sandy Hook. Many are saying that this plan is too extreme and will never pass. The NRA has been successful with federal lawmakers and the ban on bans on guns since 1994 (when a ban on assault weapons was made, but expired in 2004).
Personally, I think this plan is headed in the right direction. it has the steps that should at least be thought over. Being fined when bringing a gun near a school I think is a great direction to be heading in. The laws are finely being looked over and refined the way they should've been years ago. I am very happy.
