Assignment 17- Opinion (State, National, or International Issue)

                Mass shootings in America has become one of the most common and dreadful crises in society today. The most notable mass shootings in the United States range from the year of 1922 to this present day. In 46 weeks of this year there have been 44 mass shootings in America. Mass shootings are known to often happen at schools, whether its at a grade school or a college university. The issue of mass shootings in America have been frequently updated for the past 10 years. Its hard to figure out how do we stop this issue and crisis epidemic as whole. Schools have practiced and performed lock downs, as well as enhancing security systems. 

    

     In my opinion I believe that America’s Gun issue plays a big role in mass shootings. No other country has the same rate as Gun violence in America. The United States has almost six times the gun homicide rate as Canada, 16 times in Germany, and seven times as Sweden. Guns in America is the reason to why there is a huge homicide rate in the country. Another issue to be recognized is that the US as a country has the highest rate of privately owned firearm in the entire world. I believe that more guns cause more deaths in America as well. To deal with this problem, America would have to make less guns accessible and then maybe there would be less mass shootings?
