Apologies if this topic is a little too strong for ToffeeTalk, if so it has my full backing to be deleted.
Today at the Naval Yard in Washington DC there was a gun massacre which started at around 8:00AM. There have been many casualties and many more injured. This comes just days after a massacre in Tennessee which left four people dead. Now, I'm only 19 and could name you too many US massacres that have happened in my life-time; Columbine, Virginia Tech & TDK Cinema.
My question is that what is the opinion of the American people? I know we've got a few on here and I would genuinely like to hear their opinion on the subject. Whenever I've seen documentaries about the mentioned killings it only fuels people to buy more weapons in an act of defence.
It's getting all too common in America now. As much as I don't believe in preaching to people surely some laws must be put in place to stop this from happening time and time again? Guns being allowed to anyone that holds a US citizenship is a law which is bound to cause trouble, the government needs to understand that the minority can greatly out-number the majority when they are wielding such weapons. I'm sure that 99% of Americans wouldn't dream of massacring people dead like meat in the street but sadly the 1% have a greater impact than they should do
Surely it's time for change?
RIP to the victims.
