American Senator-Republic John Kennedy proposed to control idiots instead of weapons: his application sounded against the background of the sentence to ban firearms. Politics quotes The Washington Time.
“How can we control idiots? We have already tried, in particular, supporters of the Republican Party (…). It is necessary to strengthen control over the national database, for those who own weapons. If someone has committed a crime, if he has The tendency to cruelty, or there are mental illness, and this man is sick, his name must be in the base, “said Kennedy.
March 23 US President Joe Biden once again urged Congress to intensify efforts to tighten the control over gunshot arms and even prohibit some of its views. The proposal of the American leader sounded against the background of the tragedy in Colorado, which became the second case of mass firing in the United States in one week. As a result of the first incident, ten people were killed, as a result of the second – the shooting happened in Atlanta, the state of Georgia – eight people became victims.
Numerous cases of mass shooting in the United States still have not led to the adoption of the law on controlling the use of weapons. Reuters indicates that this is largely due to the opposition of Republicans in Congress. The right to wearing weapons is enshrined in the second amendment to the US Constitution, and many Americans will value them.
At the same time, according to polls, about 70 percent of Americans support the introduction of strict weapons wearing restrictions.
