   Summary 

 Ever since the sandy hook massacre in 2015 there have been an estimated amount of 1,042 mass shootings in the US alone. After one of these shootings itā€™s time to do something about it as we need to do something to prevent these shootings. The United States is the only other developed country in the world that has 4 times more gun violence incidents then other countries. Americans own about 42% of all firearms in the world. Gun deaths are mostly associated with mass shootings however mass shootings makeup a small percentage of all gun deaths. In reality suicides make up a majority amount of gun deaths making up about 62% of all gun deaths while homicides make 31%. Mass shootings only make up 1.5%. It is also shown how states with more guns have more deaths. About 85% of people are in favor of background checks for gun shows and private sales, 80% are in favor for preventing people with mental illnesses from purchasing guns, and 67% of people are in favor of a federal database to track gun sales. With this it shows most people in favor of gun laws but due to many pro-gun politicians having a large say over gun laws gun laws remain the same. Some gun laws have been changes such as establishing a National gun registry and requiring permits for fire arm purchases. If we and more changes such as background checks and licensing it can stop dangerous people from getting there hands on dangerous things.

 Reflection 

Many people are in favor of adding more gun laws however gun laws do not change. It has been many years since incidents including sandy hook and we have had a lot of mass shootings and violence/death due to guns.
