US gun debate: Obama unveils gun control proposals
Found on BBC News on Wednesday, 16 January 2013
US President Obama has unveiled the most sweeping gun control proposals in two decades, setting up a showdown with firearms rights advocates.
The US has one of the highest rates of civilian gun ownership in the world. The second amendment of the US constitution states that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
Gun control in America? Good luck; that will get really interesting.
