Why does the US is involved in gun violence culture?
Gun Violence and mass shooting are devastating and have been increasing every year for a long period in the US. America is listed among the top countries for gun violence and its ownership. Encouragement of gun ownership by different political groups has less to no change in the violence despite the various gun reformations rules.
There is no clarification on mass shootings by the officials. But by now, 600 incidents have taken place, and in each shoot, at least four people were shot in the country this year. As an example, America has witnessed around 25 shootings in the month of November only.
It is a very saddening truth that not only the families but the university and the country have lost their gems which could have brought medals and awards in the near future, but they left the world at a very young age.
