Oregon Shooting (Bella Di Fazio pd:8)

Unfortunately, the United States has experienced yet another mass school shootings. This one in particular, happened recently in a small town in Oregon. In the article I read, it doesn't seem like there is a clear motive as to why this happened even though it left nine people dead. However, it could be due to the fact that he gunned down several students after asking if they were Christian.

It seems like this happens way too often and even though we have the right to bear arms, there should be way more restrictions on obtaining weapons and it's ammunition. Countries have similar laws like the United States, but are way more stringent on selling and buying them, making casualties like this far more rare and I feel like following rules like these could help prevent something so saddening like this from happening in the future.

  1. This is so sad. I have been hearing about it all over and can't image if I were put in a situation like this. I think there needs to be more laws over gun control.

  3. School shootings have really, but sadly, become a common tragedy which goes to show it's not easy to stop. It all relates back to gun control and our government's method on how to handle it.
