Mass Shooting is a Problem that Involves Numerous Victims, Even Teenagers

The victims can come from every races and religion background. Mass shootings in the United States have been sadly become a popular trend by individual or organization in public and nonpublic places. One example is in February 2018 a young man started fire at Douglas high school in Parkland Florida killing seventeen students and staff members and injuring seventeen others. The mass shooter was Nikolas Cruz and he was arrested by county sheriff. The victims were killed without compassion. This type of scene we can see every time and unfortunately, the numbers of victims grow with each mass shooting. The free access to weapons provokes that people can obtain any weapon without complication. people with mental problem are buying weapons with any complications.

The politicians do not regulate who can buy weapon. After the mass shooting the gun control become the most important issue but later days this issue is forgotten and repeat again. This is a serious issue because provoke death in the community and psychological problems, as panic and trauma in children and teenager to attend school, because mass shooting occurs in the schools. Also impact adult community, the mass shooting occurs in public place too. This essay I will proposing the possible effective solution for mass shooting, this issue need addresses with regulate gun control rule and controlling all gun owner, it’s possible the numbers of death reduce significantly. The authorities need to enforce the law to control mass shooting.

The statistic FBI report “identified 160 active shooter incidents that occurred in the United States between 2000 and 2013,” with 486 people killed. The victims of mass shooting increase significantly. According to the second amendment of constitution says, 'A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.'(The constitution). Our constitutional right is to keep and bear an arm, but the problem is not everyone can carry a weapon. The requirement to buy in the state of Pennsylvania is easy. you must be 18 years old, background check and psychological record. The politicians need to discuss about age and change it. Many young people with 18 years old is still in high school and they do not have the psychological maturity in their life. It sounds no reasonable that they cannot buy alcohol, but they can buy weapon. The politicians need to change gun control rule. Another problem is does not exists control after buy a weapon. The politicians need to implement owner control and pass new law to control each owner, for example the person want to bus weapon need to wait two or three months to approval. After to buy a weapon must go to check background every three months and track their weapons. The same thing they have to do with psychological test. Each owner has to undergo a psychological test every three months. The mass shooter always has phycological problem. The authority needs to prevent this type of event. Prevent mass shooting has to be a priority.

If we to put in action of those ideas, we can gain positive consequences. One positive consequence will more difficult to acquire a weapon. The teenager must wait for 21 years old to acquire weapon. This will provoke that teenagers cannot carry weapon and will prevent that teenager can kill in mass in the school and public places Another positive is the police will be controlling who have a weapon. Every owner has to go to check background every three months after to buy weapon. If the person has intention to kill in mass and want to buy weapon need to wait two or three months for approval to acquire weapon. This will prevent fatally consequences. The psychological test also helps to know who can carry a weapon.

The Firearms industry can refuse this argument, because is an important part of America economy. According to Firearms and Ammunition Industry Economic Impact Report 2018 “in 2017 the firearms and ammunition industry was responsible for as much as $51.41 billion in total economic activity in the country” (2018). The firearm industry generates million and millions of dollars. This industry argue that generate jobs and billions of dollars in this country. The industry does not want that the government regulate this industry, because many workers depends on this industry and contribute with the economy in this country. If the government regulate this industry the going to lost billions of dollars and workers going to loss their jobs. To refuse this argument, hundreds of people were killed for weapon. To regulate this industry many people going to lose their jobs, but it is better losing jobs than lives. Parents lose their children and children lose their parents when accord mass shooting.

In conclusion, to fix this problem, we need to regulate who can carry weapon because the mass shooters are affecting our communities. Prevent mass shooting must be a priority. The numbers of victims grow with each mass shooting because does not exists control after buying weapon. The politicians need to change gun control rule as soon as possible, it necessary because mass shootings have been sadly become a popular trend by individual, specially with the people have mental problems. The authorities need to enforce the law to control mass shooting. The goal of those solution is to reduce and prevent that teenager can kill in mass in the school and public places. Another goal is the department of police can control who have guns and they can reduce fatally consequences. If we to put in action and regulate gun control rule, we can gain positive consequences.
