Chicago College Kid Studing In France Calls For Increasing Gun Control In U.S.

A college student from the Chicago area, studying in France, writes that news from home has convinced him more gun control is needed in the United States.

"The District of Columbia’s ban on handguns should be copied, not killed, and then expanded, enhanced, and enforced. If modern times afford us the technology to track and license weaponry, modern society should put this possibility into practice."

As well meaning as he is, I assume Mr. Werner is "learning" through the lens of European newspapers. If he is reading news online from the States, he is clearly missing the bigger picture of this discussion.

Clearly, studying in France does not make one "enlightened."
