Last month the entire world was shocked because of Virginia killing (if you hadn't heard about it you can see clips on the left of my blog). It made us to think how such things can happen nowadays? How one student can kill 32 people?The main reason is that there is very easy to buy a gun in America. The right to bear arms is written in the American constitution. Gun right supporters says that they have to have a right to own guns for individual self defense.The statistic of gun violence isn't very good:
In a single year, 3,012 children and teens were killed by gunfire in the United States, according to the national data released in 2002.
Between 1994 and 1999, there were 220 school associated violent events resulting in 253 deaths.
Every day, more than 80 Americans die from gun violence.
The rate of firearm deaths among kids under age 15 is almost 12 times higher in the United States than in 25 other industrialized countries combined.
There are much more terrible facts about gun violence in America. According to these facts gun control must be much stricter in America.
