Monday, November 14, 2011: The New York Times

        The article "Felons Finding It Easy To Regain Gun Rights" was one of the most horrifying and detailed stories I have read in a while. This article was incredibly lengthy and well researched, and I was impressed by the amount of time and work this reporter must have had to put into the article. The laws of the U.S. seem confusing and impractical to me, such as in this case of gun rights. It seems unbelievable that the government would allow criminals the right to so easily regain gun possession after having been convicted of any crime. I liked how this reporter so thoroughly presented case after case where a criminal regained gun possession, only to commit another crime. He gave facts while allowing the reader to develop an opinion of his or her own on laws that  seem to put the public in unnecessary danger.
