An issue I often see on social media that I would like to discuss is gun violence. I have the belief that guns themselves are not a source of the issue, a gun can only do as much as its owner wants, a gun is a tool. The high amount of non gun related murders is proof that the weapon itself can only go so far. The issue we have with many mass shootings stems from the very violent society we live in, no I am not talking about the media we consume that may be violent, but the fact that we have alot of issues regarding how the country raises its children, there is a lack of moral teaching leaving many Americans confused about what their belief's really are. We also need to stop giving the sick people who commit mass shootings attention, its one of the main reasons awful crimes like this are committed, mourn the victims not the discuss the killers.
