Question

In the past year, in the wake of the school shooting in Florida (and several other mass/public shootings), one of the most visible domestic policy issues has been gun control. With this event now a year behind us, do you think this event will change anything about current U.S. domestic policy as it relates to gun control? If so, what about this particular tragedy is different in your minds (in terms of it being a driving force for change in domestic policy)? If not, what external factors are at work which, in your opinion, will keep U.S. domestic policy as it relates to gun control on the same (or similar) path?

Answer 1

Answer :-

The gun control debate in the United States goes back to the nation's founding, when the framers of the Constitution first wrote the Second Amendment, allowing private citizens to "keep and bear arms." Gun control became a much bigger topic shortly after the November 22, 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
