One main topic that is roaming the internet, and society is gun violence. This past year we have seen many fatal events that have occurred in America that have led to many people losing their lives and leaving others seriously ill. For example, The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that occurred in Florida led 17 people dead and 19 people injured. Another awful event that occurred, and left American's scared, and confused was the Las Vegas shooting because of this event 57 people lost their lives. Not to mention it was recorded the deadliest mass shooting by an individual in The United States. This could of easily been avoided if we had better gun control laws. Every year we as citizens see more innocent people die due to gun violence. According to Everytown for gun safety article 13000 homicide occur in the United States each year, and 62% of firearms deaths in the United States are suicide. This article easily shows how many people are hurting others and themselves by having easy access to guns. I'm fully aware that nobody can take guns away from people, just like everything else people will find a way to get access to them.  I do believe that America should make it harder for people to get access to a gun. Many things that they should consider is strictly checking their record and forcing everybody to register to receive a gun. By doing this maybe we can control gun violence, and avoid any more deaths caused by guns.
