Another Shooting Yet No Action

Another Shooting Yet No Action

  First thing first sorry about the post not being up till today but some things happened this week. Anyways last Thursday November 14 in Saugus High School in Santa Clarita gunshots where heard. Officers arrived at the scene at around 7:40 A.M. they saw 5 victims on the floor. 2 died in the scene 1 male and 1 female the perpetrator died on Friday from his own wound. 3 where only wounded in this hell of 16 seconds. For every 2.666 seconds 1 person was shoot. Yet guns are still legal you can usually obtain them after 3 days even if the background check is still not fully complete. According to the Washington Post at least 1,216 people have died of gun violence in the US history. The NRA spends about 30.3 million dollars on lawmakers or  in average at least in 2017. The cost of a human casualty in the US for gun violence is about $24,917.76 cents for every person killed in the US by guns. Its is predicted that it will increase which means that the NRA can afford the casualties. The question is can our morals afford the deaths. Yes we understand that the second amendment clearly allows US citizens to purchase a gun and be 18 years or older but we aren't on the times where we had to conceal a gun to protect ourselves we have our police and the biggest Army in the world. Yes, we could use our guns for self defense but why do we need assault rifles if with a glock you can shoot  about 3 bullets per second so in 1 minute you would have shot 180 bullets. Lets think of the future generations  do we really want to have our kids growing up in a unstable world full of possible school shootings? I personally get a little nervous walking into Walmart yes its got my favorite snacks but due to the last Walmart shooting for hate crime I don't feel as safe. Now there is even a bullet proof backpack for sale and its been around since the 1980's but lately they have been a product that have began to be  popular. After a school shooting in Florida in February 14 2018 the company named Bullet Blocker reported a increase in their sales by 30% the same Thursday of the shooting most shipments where headed to Florida. The dark truth is that unless we do something about the gun laws this news won't surprises us and we will have to start to wear a full armor suit to school because of our own fear.The Lorax once said,  "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better." So I for one says its enough.
