Gun Violence in America-Spencer Bolding

https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/26/opinions/trump-parkland-shooting-mental-health-sandra-allen-opinion/index.html

 This toxic lie about gun violence hurts society’s most of vulnerable.  The shooting at Douglas high school in Florida is the eighth school shooting to result in death or injury in the first two months of 2018 and has inspired a wave of activism against the ravages of gun violence.  President Trump  focused his remarks on mental health and on people who are crazy and sick and he believe that insane people are to blame for gun violence. Trump invokes fear through stereotype in an effort to distract from the obvious reason he and many others of his party filter take seriously gun violence in the threat it poses to all Americans.
This article relates to US history because gun violence is a major issue in our country especially because guns are legal and very easy to buy. This reminds me of the 18th amendment when alcohol was prohibited. If guns become illegal to own or sell, people will want them more and will secretly smuggle them in to the country and it would become a huge problem like alcohol was in the early 1900s.
