Allowing Guns on Amtrak

October 4, 2009


Recently, Congress passed a bill allowing Amtrak passengers to bring guns on the Amtrak in their checked luggage. This would allow people to carry guns with them when they are moving, going on a hunting trip, or just want to carry a gun around where they go. And if Amtrak railways doesn't comply within 6 months, they will have their government funding pulled. Honesty, I really like this new bill. I think every citizen has a right to carry a gun with them. It provides protection and it allow the United States citizens their right to bare arms. Of course there are going to be more safety issues but think of it this way, is someone gonna pull a gun out on someone else if everyone around that person has a gun as well? Either way, I like that Congress is standing up for the rights of the American people.
