We all know the growing problem of mass shooting in America. There were a total of 160 mass shootings from 2010 to 2013 alone (Perez, “FBI: Mass:). Which is defended as a shooting involving 3 or more people? With the growing problems we are turning to gun control as the method for solving this crisis, can and should for instance the shooting act at Sandy Hook School where many children and teachers died, might have been prevented by stricter gun laws.

It would also affect hunting and though the number is low there are still people that depend on hunting to live their everyday life. There are also people that hunt for sport and they would also loose this privilege. We all know the growing problems with mass shootings in America, we need to come together as a county and find the ways to make everyone happy, such as stricter gun laws arming our legal citizens and putting guards and metal detectors in gun free
