LAS VEGAS SHOOTINGS - No lessons learned from Sandy Hooks

in #news7 years ago

I wanted to touch on the subject of guncontrol for a minute. Since the horrific events that transpired on October 1st in Las Vegas, America finds itself staring down the barrel of a gun with regards to gun control regulations. I am keeping in mind that we are speaking about this as a result of so many innocent people losing their lives due to a heartless terrorist act. But will there be any lessons learned? will America take action to prevent these types of mass shootings from reoccuring?

If I was to be completely honest, my gut feeling is no!! The reason I say this is because back in 2012 the entire world stopped in its tracks and tuned into various news stations to witness one of the most vile mass shootings in history take place. 20 young children and 6 teachers lives where taken by the hands of a vile discusting human being who decided to take advantage in the relaxed gun laws and open fire. If America hasn't learned its lessons after innocent children lost their lives... then its sickening to think that what happened in Las Vegas,while tragic, won't change its ways.

Let me know whats your opinion? And what suggestions are nessasary to prevent these acts of terror from happening. If something doesn't change.... you could be the next mass shooting victim

I sadly agree with you. I don't think this will be enough for the United States to start working on more strict gun laws. I believe these mass shootings are a symptom of its own sickness. This sickness has worsen and worsen through years of propaganda and advertising associating being American with the capability of buying and carrying around different types of guns. People get really defensive just by mentioning the subject. It is the only country that I know where you can buy military grade weapons, and where there are more guns than people. The gun culture is so diluted in their veins that a big chunk thinks that these atrocities will be stopped by more people having guns, without realizing that you would have to count on the emotions and decision making of yet more people. I don't know how this will play out, only time will see. Upvoting and resteeming. I want to hear more people's opinions.

One obvious way would be gun prohibition. Prohibiting guns will make mass killing a mission impossible. In countries like South Korea and Japan, where guns are prohibited, mass killings are almost never heard of. This, of course, will happen only if we can convince the rest of Americans, even those who have voted for Trump, so I'd say the only hope are our future generations.
