Jacksonville shooting adds to Florida's string of gun attacks - CNN https://apple.news/AE8lu8-1tQA6UmnVE4HLkxA
On August 26, there was yet another mass shooting in the state of Florida. Two people were killed and at least 11 more were injured at a video game tournament in Jacksonville Sunday afternoon. There is still no motive for the shooter, who took his own life at the scene. The people of Florida are, not surprisingly, not all seeing eye to eye on what the next step should be for gun control in their state. Some blamed the gun free zones and others argued that there was not enough gun control. Either way, both sides recognize that there is a problem and it needs to be fixed.
I think there have been far to many mass shootings in our country and in Florida in particular. I believe that if we buckle down on gun control this would be happening far less. No one should ever be worried abou their safety when going out in public to enjoy themselves. Shooting have become so engrained in American society that we have become desensitized. From the Parkland shooting earlier this year to the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in 2012, nothing has really changed. We are still losing lives far too often and legislators have not taken much action on the issue.
I agree that we shouldn't be scared and have to worry about gun violence effecting our daily lives. However it happens in this country. How can we prevent shooting in America, to make this country a safer place?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. This is a reoccurring matter and every time it happens in our country we just recognize then turn away. Unfortunately this keeps happening in Florida and it is dividing people and state and county. We need to figure out what we want and just sit down and talk about it. If our representatives took a moment to open their eyes and talk we would be at a better place.
