We all know that it is legal to have a gun in America. Have you ever notice America owns nearly half of the world’s guns? However the Americans only make up of 4.4 percent of the global population. In a hundred Americans there is an average of 88 who owns guns. The high rate of gun ownership, frequently mass shootings and a leak on government control engenders the Americans to be so susceptible to gun violence. In October 2017, the worth mass shooting ever in American history took place at a country music concert in Las Vegas. 58 were killed and more than 500 were injured. People were horrified by the mass shooting. Scared by if there will be another occurred on themselves sooner. Hence, People started boycott on social media on guns, saying the government should control the amount of guns. Meanwhile, they are buying more guns to protect themselves because they were worried about the government would stop …show more content…
The frequency of mass shootings is closely tied with the super high rate of gun ownership in America. Mass shooters are often loners without many social supports. People would like to pursue fame and fortune. Conversely the ideal is so far different from reality. Pressure on living, unhealthy mental health and a diverse culture all causes anger, violence, social unstable, discrimination and conflict between local residence and outers. If they are out of support, they tend to be extreme avengers. Therefore, it is more likely to see a gun violence happened in public areas such as schools, factories or supermarkets… Gun violence for Americans is just like eating breakfast, It happens everyday. People talk bout them while dining. It starts to influence people’s life since it is such a normal thing happening in America. Despite everyone talks about it, they won’t care enough to do something about unless someone in their family got directly involved in one of the gun
In the United States of America, control and access to guns should be limited. In the article “The Case for Gun Control”, written by Fareed Zakaria, makes a very broad reasoning on why access to guns should be limited to Americans. The article explains how Americans are taking advantage of gun usage and how easy it is to access it. The United States has the highest crime rate in the world. Having high crime rates can lead to innocent people losing their lives because of the twisted people who are getting easy access to weapons.
Gun violence has been a discussed problem since many years. It has caused deaths in many areas. Even though the violence have terrorized families and have caused the incrase of the homicide rates, the U.S have not really taken the proper steps to reduce gun violence and that has left the shooters unpunished and has caused many deaths. The government should take appropriate steps and measures to control the violence caused by guns and assault weapons. Some of them include background check, prohibition of assault weapons, and train public school staff members with a gun.
Guns are not the trouble, people are. The United States is #1 in world gun ownership, and yet is only 28th in the world in gun murders per 100,000 people. The number of unintentional fatalities due to firearms declined by 58 percent between 1991 and 2011 Based on these facts, one can see the guns not the causes of gun violence. moreover, civilians who get permits take gun safety courses and have criminal background...
Mass shootings have become a common occurrence in the United States society and have brought our society's safety debate to the attention of American politics. Both sides of the debate agree that we need more safety precautions but neither side can officially agree on what is to be done. What can we do about the raging number of mass shootings? There is no definite solution for mass shootings but there are precautions the United States can take to try to overcome the overwhelming number of mass shootings occurring. Gun Control is a major topic in the debate of how we can keep our society safer but how is what remains a mystery but we can start with altering the second amendment, and having stronger gun laws and background checks.
There is an American consensus for some form of gun control. “…[F]irearms were involved in two-thirds of all murders in the United States and [t]he United States leads the world's richest nations in gun deaths…murders, suicides, and accidental deaths due to guns - according to a study published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the International Journal of Epidemiology” (Lepore). There might be some far extreme people who think that all guns should be banned but most sane Americans do not think that gun rights should be abolished. Americans regard self-defense as the most compelling reason to have a gun and twenty-two percent of households have handguns in the United States. However many people do think that gun control laws must be enacted and enforced. Pro-gun extremists and the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) must understand that there is a real for many people at the uncontrolled s...
Gun violence in schools is a very serious problem in America. More and more shootings are occurring, and no matter what has been done to try to prevent these shootings they still occur. The current methods being utilized to prevent gun violence in schools are not very successful, because school shootings are still occurring. To better prevent gun violence in schools and in general the United States must reinforce gun knowledge, security, and the laws that are already in place.
I enjoy reading your post. It was very informative. I agree that gun violent and obesity are a major concern for public health. Although infectious disease was at the fore front in the 20th century, it is still a re-merging problem in the 21st century. I agree that obesity can affect a person mental status and behavior. It can cause depression, isolation and poor socialization skills. It usually co-exist with other major diseases, compounding the problem even more. Gun violent is definitely an issue that needs to be discussed. You have some who say they have guns for protection, but sometimes the gun ends up in the wrong hands, such as a very young child or someone with detected/undetected mental health issues. These gun should be under
As of late, the American public has been plagued by mass shootings; events where an in-dividual, or individuals, with access to firearms, open fire on people. Compared to other devel-oped countries the United States holds the highest rates of gun violence and mass shootings; both of which are complex issues which affect Americans regardless of socioeconomic status. (Christensen, 2017)
My subtopic was gun violence in schools “school shootings.” There have been many schools shooting and most of them had many innocent people dying because of one or two people who had committed these horrible crimes. There are many things that should be done to help innocent people from getting hurt and prevent this from happening again. One thing that should happen is to put guns away or just getting rid of them. People get guns many different ways as you may already know. Sometimes we would just want guns to vanish and everyone one to have peace in the world. Gun violence in schools occurs around the world not only in the United States. The news inform us about the many other countries that are attacked and children or students that have been killed because of terroirs groups. People aren’t safe now days in places that we should believe schools are safe. Many parents are nervous sending their children to school because of the different stories they hear about on the news and from others.
Society cannot stop violence by violence, but rather use proactive measures even it may sacrifice personal freedom. The government had already issued an edict of background checks with fingerprinting and many other security measures. However, we can make guns intelligent by using personal fingerprint to unlock the trigger and barrel. This method will prevent others from using the gun. The gun itself (like a GPS or iPhone) can send the fingerprint to a satellite into the government main database to keep track of gun use. Face recognition cameras are already set-up around most neighborhoods so after the database had received the fingerprint, face recognition will automatically aim the camera to the gun user if he’s outside. That way the police
Gun violence has always been a problem in America. Whether it is promoted in video games or television, it is in the face of the average American citizen daily. The main argument has been whether or not civilians should be allowed to exercise their 2nd amendment. Additionally, there have been many cases of gun violence due to individuals suffering from mental illnesses. Furthermore, as of late, there have been a string of civilian deaths at the hands of police. These events have led to anti-police mentality, especially amongst minorities. Now, I believe that an individual should have the right to defend themselves. However, with the growing numbers of deaths due to guns, there has to be a change in how society views violence.
How much gun violence is there in the United States? The right to bear arms is promised to citizens of the America. Crime is very high in states that have vague gun control laws. Texas is known to have the most lenient gun control laws of any state. Many questions arise concerning who should be able to own guns and how these particular guns are obtained. There have been 32 mass shooting since the year 2000, and we’re only 13 weeks into 2018 and already had 17 school shootings, where someone was hurt or killed .(Metro.us/timeline). Parents have lost children and children have been left motherless or fatherless due to gun violence. No one should have to go to school in fear of gun violence; or to a nightclub, a concert, a shopping center, a movie
I have two ideas for essay or story ideas I would write about after reading Nobody. One option would be to write about gun control and gun violence. If you notice something all the deaths had in common, besides choke hold related death, guns are what kill people. I don’t understand why people have an obsession and need guns. I understand its an amendment and a right to bear arms, but this is a weapon that destroys lives. Guns lead to mistakes take can’t be undone.
There are several types of violences that occur throughout the day through criminal actions. There’s guns, domestic, youth, sexual, physical, psychological, and emotional violences that happen all around the world, but more specifically in the United States. Common sense for individuals seem to be getting harder and moralities seem to be lowered to a standard where it’s okay for crime rates to increase. This is definitely not okay to allow, making it unfair for individuals who want a safe community not possible due to all the violence. Currently topics on gun control are rising and how its affecting kids in schools. Several kids are trying to make a change by protesting or trying to contact government corporations to make a difference
Gun control, in the United States especially, is an issue of high current relevance and it has become of great importance to address it immediately. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have measured that more than 33,000 people die each year as a result of firearms in the United States. As of February 21st of 2018, a total of 34 mass shootings had occurred. And the numbers keep rising at a vertiginous speed. Communication media aid in the spread of this information, but the most important part is that they provide a platform for discussion and proposal of ideas, powered by the pain and frustration of the relatives and friends of the victims, that could be implemented towards gun control. However, after the particular incident, eventually the silence reigns again. However, there has been a recent shooting in Parkland, Florida, that had a stronger impact than
