I have decided to use the topic ‘Gun Violence in America’ for the annotated Bibliography.

Notes :
Every day, more than 100 Americans are killed with guns and 200 more are shot and wounded.

The police shootings category is believed to be underreported and is likely to be misclassified as a homicide. Mapping Police Violence’s database is widely cited and estimates that over 1,000 people are fatally shot by police in an average year—twice as many as recorded by the CDC.

One-third of gun deaths are homicides. The U.S. gun homicide rate is 25 times that of other high-income countries.

It is very easy to buy guns in America. Gun Buyers fill out ATF (The Federal bureau of alcohol, tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) and buy guns that they prefer.

What I learned :

I learned that the USA is the country with the highest number of gun violence. The data shows that gun violence in America is 25 times greater than in other high-income countries. Many people are people dying day by day due to this deadliest crisis in America. One of the main reason why people are a victim of gun violence is due to the easy access to buy guns.

Questions :

How can America reduce gun violence?

What guarantees that 2nd amendment is still valid?

What gun control laws currently exist?

How often are guns used in self-defense?
