4 different shootings have happened this weekend. At a birthday party in Texas, a gunmen at a skating rink killed himself and 5 other people. In Central Florida today, a fight between teenagers, nine rounds were fired but no one was killed. A 15 year old was killed at a party Saturday night. And on Sunday morning in Seattle a man went into a casino to find his ex, and when he found her, he killed her and the man she was with, along with hurting 5 bystanders.
Events like this give all Americans pause. What causes people to engage in such violent behavior? However, one thing is clear, the easy availability of a gun makes it much easier for crazy people to kill large amounts of people in a short period of time. Why should a weapon that can kill people in such an efficient way be so easily available? What need does the average citizen have for such a firearm? There is no need. There is no reason that guns that fire multiple rounds in a matter of seconds should be accessible to anyone but law enforcement and the military. People who are paranoid about the government who say we need such weapons probably should not have them to begin with.
