The ISSUES of 2008

The candidates both have very good ideas for the issue of gun control but they don't have the same ways to accomplish them. John McCain want to simply run background checks on people and only allow them to purchase a firearm if they gain a special permit as opposed to the older simpler permits. Barack Obama want to limit the amounts of guns sold to people and ban the solicitation of assault rifles for anything other than military use. It is Obama's Choice of action that will surely help out because 45 percent of gun violence is done by an assault rifle but the question is what to do with the ones already out on the street.
