Gun Violence

In 2015 there was so many people who lost their lives because of a trigger (mascia,1). Gun violence has gone too far in the USA; it is integrated. America is all about gun violence if our country was again turned into a free country, we must stop the chaos of bullets & crime. It is not enough to tell on someone or make speeches. We need to take action and stop waiting. A set of gun laws is mandatory to offer Americans a safe and happy life.

 

The American  people and the rich and powerful people who make our laws, don't agree with gun control. 90% of Americans agree with some form of gun reform (Obama,1). We the people,already know it is a problem but we refuse to take the power back in the american democracy and make a change. If every voter went to vote delegates who would vote for gun reform, our country would be so safe. The gun laws that most people believe in have been considered common sense gun laws.” these laws vary, but follow some rules: harder and more often background checks, and get rid of pistols and heavy weapons, and be very attentive to the guns owned by people with mental illness. These laws do specific things to make our country safe. Background checks make sure guns stay out the hands of well known criminals. A ban on the most dangerous weapons makes the playing field easy for police and keep guns away from those who just want to kill many people taking them off the american streets. Make special attention to those with a mental illness would help many shootings triggered by mental breakdowns. Each of these laws, as their name, makes sense. Lawmakers, however, cannot seem to make them happen. I do think these laws go far enough people need to understand that gun violence is not a joke we need to get rid of the big guns we need to stop spreading violence and rebuild our culture demand a safe country for ourselves and future generations.
