The Silence of the
Law: The Charleston Church Gunman
Our
text alluded to many catastrophic events that have impacted the United States
greatly. In recent news, nine people were gunned down and lost their lives
while at church surrounding a hate crime. Writer Binoy Kampmark stated that “arguments
about guns in the United States resemble forays into intense religious
debate. They are doctrinal issues (the “right” to bear arms; the
entitlement to protection) that chatter through the various lobbies.
There are purely quibbling legal issues (what regulations are appropriate in
terms of controlling access to guns). There are the broader ethical
issues (should people even have guns as a principle to begin with?” (Kampmark 1). Each
massacre posses concerns for the protection of the citizens and to whether
certain laws needs tighter and stricter restrictions.
