Gun Violence

On Thursday, Jan. 24, 2013 The Battalion Online posted an article about gun control, recent gun violence news, and were Texas stands on gun violence. The articles begins with politicians talking about Texas in favor of gun rights, and then brings up a shooting that had happened in College Station, TX, as well as bringing up the Aurora shootings. The article also brings up what Obama's plans to do with gun control are, and then goes into what side Texas takes towards gun control, and how we have around 20 bills aimed towards gun control. Such bills will be about concealed hand gun permits, and having concealed hand guns on school properties, for both elementary to high school and college. Some going as far as to overturn a veto from the student body president John Claybrook, which was directed towards Texas A&M Personal Protection Bill for students to conceal carry indoors on campus. Gun control is becoming or already is one of the biggest things happening right now, and were states and the whole countries stand will make a major outcome, which makes it one of the most important things that is happening in Texas and Nationwide politics. Obviously this being Texas the government wouldn't do much to restrict our rights over fire arms, which is why I found this article interesting, seeing how others are dealing with these gun control laws being brought to light.
