This article found on CNN was written by Samira Said and Catherine Shoichet on Monday September 26, 2016 and updated at 7:34 PM ET. Today in Houston, Texas, a mass shooting occurred. Neo Nazi emblems were found on the killers outfit. The gunman was a local West University attorney. Recently there was news of his law firm not doing great. When at the shooters home, they found vintage military equipment. Some of the equipment went as far back as the Civil War. Although he did have various different Nazi emblems on him, the police have not used that to establish any sort of motive behind the attacks. Once police arrived on scene, the gunman tried to hide behind a tree. He also had 2,600 rounds of ammunition. Attorney Nathan Desai has been identified as the gunman, who additionally was alone during the crime. This is a very significant article because in the recent past America has had an abundance of gun control problems. I think it is very much necessary to pass more strict gun laws to help prohibit intentional and accidental gun violence. Although many argue that a law won't prevent people from abusing guns, we still need to pass a useful law. This related to APUSH because there have been several historical accounts of violence whether it was with a gun or another type of weapon. If there were precautionary measures, a percentage of these violent breakouts may not have happened.
