This year we have had over [b]300[/b] mass shootings already and counting. This problem has gotten so much worse. I mean it is really bad out here now. What do you think should be done though. I mean should we [b]ban[/b] guns or do nothing at all. Or maybe we should create a system where if you are over the age of 21 you can own a [b]gun. [/b] And make it a felony if you shoot someone who lives No that won't work either. What shall we do. Comments. 馃

I do not believe that guns should be banned in this country or any country.
It is our constitutional right to own firearms so for this reason I believe that attempting to erode our constitution in anyway is horrible for the country and any of our rights can be justified to be taken away next. Also we already have soooo many guns in the US that banning them will never keep them off of the streets. It will become similar to the prohibition era where there is bootlegging, illegal sales, increased gang activities due to arms sales becoming more profitable as guns move underground increasing violence. Good law abiding people will feel compelled to break the law to purchase a gun or they will be vulnerable and at a disadvantage to law breakers and criminals. The anwsers aren't simple. Updated legislation regarding additional restrictions and monitoring/restrictions of certain gun sales are perhaps one piece to the puzzle. The MAIN part of the problem is societal. Just as we have had an increase in random people pushing others onto the Subway tracks in NewYork, the moral and mental fabric of our entire nation is crumbling. The majority of the people participating in these mass shooting have displayed odd, concerning, antisocial, alarming behavior for years while those around them did nothing or were not really equipped to help. People, especially men are increasingly lonely, angry, radicalized online and ready to die and make others hurt. Mental illness is rampant. Our society facilitates mental illness and instability. We have to shame killers and those who glorify killing as well.
@REMsleep Mental illness is anecdotal. I strongly believe that there are deeply broken individuals or some that have some sort of trauma or bad energy in their spirit that makes them kill.
