The Gun Violence in America

Massacres and school shootings are now becoming the norm in America as a result of gun violence. As a result, politicians for the past decade have been debating whether to ban the right to own guns or to restrict the purchase of them. Protected under the right to bear arms, gun owners protest that gun violence occurs not because of the gun, but the psychotic gunmen themselves. Although there is much discussion on what to do with guns, these massacres and shootings have been rising in numbers.The government and the public have been fighting over the rights of guns when they really should be focusing on the mental health of others. Taking away the guns from the people is not the solution but prevention is what we really need to do. For every 100 american citizens, 89 bear firearms, yet there are no 89 gunmen. For every 100 american citizens there are 3 people who suffer psychosis, and so far there have been over 30 of these shootings not 89. The solution is what President Obama calls soul-searching  where the public is more aware of who suffers mental illness to prevent these shootings. Again, the gun owners of america say that the guns are not the problem but it is the "crazy" people who are. All in all the gun violence in America has been becoming common and the american public is what can prevent it.
