I'm not American, but any rational person around the globe has got to agree with President Obama here that the U.S's gun laws are absurdly lenient for being among one of the world's most developed nations. Everyone, whether they identify as conservative, libertarian or liberal have got to understand that gun control is essential for any country as large and influential as the U.S and some changes need to be made soon to prevent further tragedies. Bump if you agree! UPDATE: People are very angry, thinking I believe in getting rid of guns. I don't. They're pretty useful for self defense, but they need to be regulated more to stop as many criminals from getting their hands on them.
