The other day I was randomly checking my yahoo
account when I saw “15 year old girl shot and killed days after preforming at
Obamas inauguration” on my news feed, which didn’t shock me. After the shooting
at the elementary school, my mind will probably never get as blown again. Naturally,
I read the article. Reportedly the girl was hanging at the park around the
corner from her school with other friends when an unknown person came through and
started shooting. She was shot in the back and one of her friends was shot in
the leg but still living and they weren’t the targets. This is ridiculous, like
really who does that! Today I was checking my yahoo again and a boy was shot at
his middle school. What is going on in people’s minds! There are some mentally unstable
people with guns out there. If you’re going through something and want to let
loose do everyone a favor and get a hobby or play a killing video game and go
nuts! If you’re bored get a life and if you’re depressed talk to somebody! People
really piss me off when they do things like this and gun violence is getting out
of control. Boom! Another innocent and young life gone because of an irresponsible
person. Somebody (maybe the government, parents, siblings, kids, or peers) need
to fix this because too many people are dying from a bullet.
What are your thoughts on how they should change gun laws/ gun control?
ReplyDeleteI know you weren't asking me, but I think an obvious step is to close the loopholes where, at least in Virginia, people can buy guns without the background checks. Beyond that, I know all the stuff about the second amendment and "guns don't kill people ...," but I also know that illegal gun traffiking only accounts for a small portion of the guns used by criminals, so it makes a little sense to lower the number of legal guns "out there" that may eventually end up in criminals' hands.
ReplyDeleteI think about things like this all the time. And this world has really got violent well gun violent. Every time you watch the news some one is shot and killed over nothing. Sandy Hook Elementary is a whole different story. This is really sad and something needs to be done about this!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mr. Sweeney on what they should do and I agree with darrell also.
