Is it a Problem?

Gun reform is definitely an issue. Mass shooting and debate around gun control seem to control the media constantly. As someone who has grown in the midst of school schoolings and an alarming rise of deadly gun violence, I'm so worried about how desensitized I've come to it all. It seems as if the United States has an extremely high amount of gun violence compared to other well developed countries. Sadly, that is a fact.The United States has more gun violence than any other first country in the world. With 40,000 deaths a year, it is a major issue. In fact, just one death from gun violence should make it an issue.

I don't think that the gun violence will ever come to a complete end. Gun violence will continue prevailing but we need to make more strides to preventing it from happening. I'm tired of constantly seeing news articles of school shootings and wondering what are the chances of that happening to me. We should have universal background checks. We should also ban bump stocks and semi-automatic rifles.

I feel as if lots people say that gun control doesn't work or that it would prevent mass shootings. Of course, no certain way of gun reform/control will bring a complete end to gun violence. However, you have to look at other countries such as Australia or Japan. The United States has the highest amount of violence while being one of the wealthiest. Ways of solving the violence differs per person but it is an issue that should absolutely be discussed.
