Shields discusses gun control. He voices concern about gun violence and compares gun-related deaths in the United States to those in other countries. U.S. gun laws allow easy purchase and possession of guns, he asserts, which ultimately lead to more gun-related deaths. Shields calls for tougher gun laws, including support for the current handgun control bill proposed by gun-control advocates. He points out weaknesses in another handgun control measure that was proposed by the National Rifle Association. The NRA can influence politicians' decisions because of its powerful influence. Shields urges the public to join him and his organization in pushing the government to adopt tougher gun control measures.
