While the country continues to mourn the losses incurred inside an Aurora, Colorado movie theater last week, and while new information continues to leak out about shooting James Holmes, a debate has also taken shape around America:
Considering the types of automatic weapons Holmes purchased legally, should the topic of gun control be more firmly addressed in light of the latest massacre?
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has made his feelings on the topic known, as have a number of celebrities.
Let's focus on two because they possess such contrasting opinions.
In an interview over the weekend, rapper/actor Ice-T took expressed his take: “The right to bear arms is because it’s the last form of defense against tyranny... If somebody wants to kill people, they don’t need a gun to do it.”
He later Tweeted: “If you go into the jungle…. Will you NOT get eaten because you’re a vegan??”
Now, let's hear from Jason Alexander of Seinfeld fame, also via Twitter: “I cannot understand support for legality of the kind of weapon in this massacre. It’s a military weapon. Why should it be in non-mil hands?"
Two sides. One contentious issue. Where do YOU stand? Should automatic weapons be made legally available to the public?
