USA | The gun debate What is more dangerous, a comic or a rifle?


What is more dangerous for children a children's book or an assault rifle?A machine gun or a chocolate egg? In both questions one of the objects is banned in several U.S. states. And not the weapon in any of the cases.With this exhibition and photographs that illustrate, a group of American mothers demand the authorities to apply common sense during the first debate on gun control in a decade to be held this week in the U.S. Senate. The group 'Moms Demand Action for gun sense in America', formed after the tragedy at Newtown School last December, already has thousands of associates. Some have experienced firsthand the pain of losing a child in a shootout. Others have not experienced firsthand but sympathize with them. What they are asking is that the government ban on assault weapons and ammunition , to register the sales of large quantities of ammunition and prohibit Internet sales and arms trafficking is considered a crime with capital punishment, among other things. "Four months after the tragedy that took the lives of 20 schoolchildren in Connecticut, American mothers are outraged by the inability of our leaders to act with common sense and make a reform of the weapons that support the 90% of Americans . Instead I choose to follow the weapons lobby game ", explained in a statement. "But we never gave up. If this Congress does not protect our children find another to do so in future legislatures," they add. In its campaign to raise awareness show two girls, one with children's book 'Little Red Riding Hood' and the other with a gun. 's Tale is banned in some schools in California because one of the players has come to her grandmother. The same goes for the Kinder egg that appears in another of the images and a foam ball used to play 'Dodgeball'. The authorities considered more dangerous than bullets. For now, Obama will complicate things in the Senate and his plan to toughen the gun law is more opposition than expected.
