The first major gun issue was in 1934. It just regulated the sale of firearms. One of the biggest bills to be passed was the "Brady Bill" it was "named for the press aide who was seriously injured in the assassination attempt on President Regan imposed a five day waiting period for purchasers of handguns" (Policy 1). A big thing that was required was a Child Prevention law. Which required loaded guns to be out of reach for minors. A lot of families in the U.S. have guns. It is said in 1994 "about 35% of American households own 192 million firearms of which handguns constituted 35% of total" (Policy 3). the U.S. has the most guns than any other country. Most of the homicides are because of drugs.
Finishing this was a great article. it helped me to know what actions the law is taking toward the gun controls. I think the government has done a good job with the laws and have tried to make cut backs and to try and make everyone happy.

Work on capitalizing the first word in each sentence and try to find sources from all points of view not just on the side of the argument you agree with.
