Why aren't Guns regulated too?

Recently I have read an article called, “Do We Have the Courage to Stop This?” by Nicholas D.

Kristof. In the article, the author talks about the shooting that has recently took place at a school in Connecticut, and other violent mishaps. Kristof not only gives his opinion on the shooting, but also on how we should regulate guns to prevent the usage of guns nowadays.

In the article, Kristof says that one of his Facebook followers mentioned that “it is more difficult to adopt a pet than it is to buy a gun.” He also says that  “The tragedy isn't one school shooting, it' the unceasing toll across our country. more Americans die in gun homicides in 6 months than have died in the last 25 years in every terrorist attack and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined, which means that most likely if guns were regulated there would be a lower percentage of homicides, and not only that but there would also be some major changes in our country.

In the article, Kristof  points out that guns should be regulated just as seriously as cars, meaning that there are so many regulations for cars. Like seatbelts for instance, ever heard the saying click it or ticket”? That means that you are obligated to wear a seatbelt, which is also a state regulation here in Pennsylvania. But why don’t they have a little saying about guns? Are they not going to regulate the real dangers in the state of Pennsylvania? They’re just leaving us for dead. There are guns on the streets, people are just killing one another and getting away with it. But people are going to jail and getting tickets for not wearing their seatbelts and drunk driving. I think that guns should be regulated here in the state of Pennsylvania. They should have to wait 4 weeks for a gun, just as in Canada and also have to do background checks on people who want to buy guns.
