President Obama Pushes Gun Control in Minnesota

Today, President Obama traveled all the way from Washington D.C. to Minneapolis on Air Force One to attempt to push new gun laws. One thing that is included is the extensive background checks on gun buyers. A lot of people are asking why he needed to make the trip all the way to Minnesota to make his speech. The White House has tried to make it clear that the reason for the long trip was because Minnesota officials have made extensive steps to stop gun violence. The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to make a new legislation that includes President Obama's idea of background checks.
I think the President's ideas for background checks is a great on because it doesn't include getting rid of the gun population completely, but we aren't giving guns out to whoever has the money to buy one. Our country has suffered enough over the past year because of shootings and it is time to take the time to protect ourselves from harmful people. Although this might still not be the most efficient way to know if someone is planning to harm people with the gun that they buy, it is a start to help prevent the loss of innocent people in America.
