Gun control

You hear about it everywhere. Students are losing their lives at school, where they’re supposed to be safe from such things. Why are we suffering the consequences of other people’s decisions? Gun control has always been a problem but nothing comes close to what’s been happening lately. Almost every month there’s always a new story about a shooting at a school. There have been many protests about our current law for buying a gun. One you think about it, do people really need a gun that is used in the military to “defend” themselves? Or is it just another excuse to hurt innocent people? After the shooting in a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, many people realized that this a far more serious situation. Why would one ever think that a shooting would happen in a Walmart, where people go grocery shopping? It really is a sad thing to think about; the innocent lives that were taken that day by no reason.
