On December second, 2015, two heavily armed terrorists, one male one female, entered the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center and in a matter of minutes, they left 14 dead and 22 seriously injured. They used two semi automatic assault rifles (chambered in .223, a popular hunting round) and two 9mm handguns. This event and countless others mass shootings are the more recent events stirring up the gun control debate. "So obviously, we need strong sensible gun control, and I will support it, but some people think it 's going to solve all of our problems, and it 's not. You know we have a crisis in the capability of addressing mental health illness in this country." (Greene, NPR.org). That was presidential candidate Bernie

Here 's an example of a loophole to gun control, I knew a man who was elderly, so we helped him around, mowing and getting to the hospital on occasion. He died when I was about 13 and his daughter asked us to help her clean us his yard and house and my father found a box of hand guns and we helped her sell them because she was not a big fan of guns. We sold all but on and gave her the money, and the last gun was a .22lr revolver. I had asked my father to buy it and he had me ask her, and she said she would be happy to sell it to me because she knew I know how to handle and keep care of that gun. According to state law, no one can buy a hand gun, no matter ones record, until the age of twenty one, so technically I gave it to my father until I reach that age. This is just one of the loop holes to gun control in America. How I bought that gun is currently a legal way to buy a gun, and that is not the only loophole way to purchase a firearm. People can purchase a weapon off of radio shows, gun shows, people you know (as I did), off of websites like gun trader, and even off of sites like criegslist, even thought the website does not approve of that. The ways that 's people are often buying weapons (and seen as the "legal" way) is by going to retailers sun as bass pro, gander, rural king and even Walmart and buying guns and ammo, and the other way is by pawn shops. All these ways are all legal, and all are done everyday. The only difference between those ways is that retailers and most pawn shops often complete a background check. This makes it harder for law abiding citizens to get ahold of a weapon for pleasure or defense, and makes very little effort to get guns from the hands of those who will misuse them. As a side note personally, I 've bought ammo from a retailer, Rural king, who does enforce a background check. Rather than a firearm, I bought fifteen
