Long Essay: Gun Control Gun control has been a serious topic that the government has been trying to avoid discussing. It seems like there is never a “right” time to talk about gun violence. So the question truly is “how many more deaths does America need to have before it’s the “right” time to talk about gun control?” When discussing about gun control we first need to remember what it means. Gun control is the ideology that the government issued our laws that has stricter rules on who is allowed to carry a weapon, more vigorous background checks, and the types of gun. Many people refused to talk about gun control because they think it means taking away and banning their rights to own a gun. However, no one says we should take away the second amendment. It’s just limiting the rights to own a gun to certain people who has passed background checks and is mentally and emotionally stable to use such a weapon. We have some of the deadliest mass shooting in the world motivated by personal and not political and religious decisions. These people have shown hatred towards a specific group of people and decide that they all must die. The murdered would come to nightclubs, movie theatres, and elementary schools with a semi-automatic gun and open fire. Killing tens and tens of innocent people who are just in the wrong place at wrong time. America has recently experienced such traumatic events once again in Vegas. The killer stake out a hotel room and shot down to a group of concertgoers killing a record of 58 people then turning the gun on himself. So now is it a good time to talk about gun control? All while our president issue out statement such as now is the time to mourn not a time to discuss such topics such as gun control. But how can a family gets closure
knowing that there are people out there who are mentally well and are able to buy guns that are meant to kill people by the dozens. While our president stall the topics of gun control. Another gunman is planning his attack. This time it took place a church, where most people would like to think the safest place on Earth. However these people would soon be attacked and twenty-nine including an unborn child would die. The right time to talk about gun control is now. We need to have productive discussion on how we can repent these mass shootings from happening. The first and most important thing is not find away to make these weapons that are meant to kill people by the dozens are not be accessible to mentally incapable users. We can’t keep letting these killers buy the materials they need carry out horrendous crimes that takes so many innocent lives away. If we chose to never talk about gun control more lives will be lost. The longer we wait, the more time we’re giving these potential killers to plan and kill. We need to stop it and the first way to start is to start talking about gun control.
