Is it necessary to strictly control gun sales, weapon ownership and gun use. But what does that mean? That means to do deep background checks before selling a gun no matter how small, to introduce strict laws for how to store and where to store guns and to introduce laws that only the police is allowed to carry guns in public. It also means to teach the public, especially children and teenager in school, how dangerous guns can be and how to handle a gun properly without hurting themselves or others.
Some of you may ask why teach them how to handle a gun and why not ban them completely. Well, because there are always going to be guns in USA. To ban them means to make sure there are not going to be used and the only way to ensure that is to

There were 372 mass shootings in the US in 2015, killing 475 and wounding 1,870 people. That is more than one per day! There were 64 school shootings in 2015, according to a dedicated campaign group set up in the wake of the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Connecticut in 2012 (20 year old Adam Lanza shoots 20 children aged between 6-7 as well as 6 adult staff members). The victims are not only adults, no, there are young children as well. I can`t imagine the pain when you can`t see you child grow up, because some maniac with a gun decides to kill innocent young children. I can`t and don`t want to imagine the hate of the parents when their child someday just doesn`t return after school and all this because no one checked his background before selling him a gun. But this does count for every family member and every single friend of every single innocent life taken by a gun. The thought that the beloved one could maybe live if they wouldn`t sell a gun to everyone, if would`ve done a background check or maybe just educated him how dangerous a gun is and how to behave in presents of a gun, because many life’s were taken by accident but all in all, 13,286 people were killed by firearms and 26,819 people were injured in the US in 2015, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

As long as there are people that make money out of selling guns as long they will make sure that a ban of guns will never happen. One way to make sure of that is to pay politicians. And how effective that is shows man known as the most powerful man in the world. The president of the United States of America, Barack Obama. Here are two quotes of him. “Do you know that Congress will not allow the Centers for Disease Control to study gun violence? They’re not allowed to study it because the notion is, is that by studying it, the same way we do with traffic accidents, somehow that’s going to lead to everybody’s gun being confiscated. When we talked about background checks — if you buy a car, if you want to get a license, first of all, you got to get a license. You have to take a test. People have to know that you know how to drive. You don’t have to do any of that with respect to buying a gun. And we talked about doing effective background checks. It was resisted because the notion was we were going to take your guns away. I just came from a meeting today in the Situation Room in which I’ve got people who we know have been on ISIL websites, living here in the United States, U.S. citizens, and we’re
