On October 1st during a concert a 64 year old man opened
fire on a strip of crowed people in Las Vegas. He was on the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel. They are calling it a
"lone wolf" act and that he did it just to do it. They found 17 guns
in the room and a semiautomatic guns to allow shooting. At least 59 people were
killed and 527 injured. All of the injured were rushed to the hospital either
buy the police or other people at the concert. It is the deadliest mass
shooting in modern U.S history.
Before this the deadliest mass shooting was the shooting at
Orlando, Florida, killing 49 people. Honestly, I'm so sick of hearing about
these shootings and bombings in the new. You would think after the first time
something like this happened we would ban guns and not let it happen again. In
my opinion i think we should ban guns because any person could buy a gun and do
this again and again as we've seen. This 64 year old man was just an average
person and even the guy at the gun store didn't see any red flags when selling
the guns to him. Then he goes and starts
a mass shooting all by himself. I hope we can take away from this and start to
make some changes.
I think this shows more about people and less about guns. The right to defend oneself or the second amendment is important, and many people stand by it. Taking something so precious to so many people won’t be as easy as saying it. I think the better option would be taking measures to ensure this doesn’t happen in the first place. The only challenge there is making sure not to infringe too much into people’s privacy.

ReplyDeleteSo I feel that when buying a gun we need some type of order because obviously guns are important but it shouldn't be easy to gain. I think we need a required amount of classes and a test or even two. Similar to the way get a license except obviously be 18, because you can be apart of a war and die by your 18 you might as well be able to protect yourself.
