A horrible tragedy that could have been avoided if the government had stricter regulations on gun ownership. The Arizona shooting incident claimed the lives of six people including a federal judge and injured 14 including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Jared Lee Loughner, responsible for this horrendous crime, legally purchased the gun involved in the assassination. This incident should really make America think twice on who should be able to purchase guns or not. However this aftermath has shown no sign of the government's interest in regulating and prohibiting gun purchases to ex-cons or the mentally ill. This form of gun violence has not pushed Congress to amend the Constitution or pass a law banning gun ownership rights that could make its citizens feel more safe. America should find a system to stop these violent outbreaks to happen anymore because government does in fact have the power and right to do this...they just choose to ignore this and hope it doesn't happen again. This incident like future ones soon to happen will take the lives of innocent people that don't deserve this. Congress needs to act before President Obama yet again makes an address about another shooting rampage affecting America. Real action of regulating gun ownership needs to be taken before it is too late.
