Stephen Anderson, Brittany Tucker, Clash on Guns

 
Political blogger Brittany Tucker and Stephen Anderson battled over gun control and the 2nd Amendment. The debate focused mainly on whether or not President Obama should make gun laws more stict, and both Anderson and Tucker wholeheartedly disagreed on the subject.

“If there is a massively incrase in guns and deaths in the U.S., how will strict gun laws hurt this even more?” Morgan pressed Tucker. “Explain to me.”

“The people with guns are hurting people,” Tucker replied. “The question is if we make the laws more stict will the real criminals have guns and make it more simple for them to get it.”

He continued: “So the idea that you are saying let's make gun laws more stict and stop the shootings is so dumb.”

Anderson interrupted, asking Tucker to explain how we just saw shootings in Colorado, in a temple, and colleges across the country. “How do you explain that we’re getting so many of these freakish patterns of shootings and people are just sitting there and doing nothing?”

“You’re looking at poor evidence,” Tucker shot back: “This is now a pattern but a pattern that is controlled. We are seeing less shootings in the past year than ever before if you don't count the recent ones.”

“The world is getting scary,” Anderson answered.

“This will be the highest shooting year in recent memory and you say there aren't that many in the past? I got to disagree with you,” Anderson said.
