Speak Out on Gun Control
The Senate votes overwhelmingly to require that handguns be sold with child safety devices.
A Washington Post/ABC News Poll shows that 89 percent of Americans support background checks at gun shows.
Support grows for raising the age of eligibility for handgun ownership from 18 to 21.
Private foundations pour millions into the crusade to stem an epidemic of gun violence.
Pressure for stricter gun control measures is rising in the wake of the high school massacre in Littleton, Colorado -- even as gun owners warn that their constitutional rights are being stomped upon with knee-jerk reactions to an isolated tragedy.
What is your view? Is Congress pandering to public opinion? Will stricter gun laws reduce crime? Or should we make it even harder to purchase weapons? Has America become a gun-toting nation that accepts widespread violence? Jump to the ThirdAge Opinion Page to state your opinion.
