A 12-year-old student shot and killed a math teacher and critically wounded two classmates before killing himself in Nevada. In Arizona, a man used his pump-action shotgun on his four next-door neighbors. Another man was arrested in Texas after allegedly killing his mother, aunt and three others on Monday. The next day, a young man allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend and four others in South Carolina. The next weekend, in Texas, my daughter was left for dead after being shot twice with a shotgun in her throat and chest, riddling her 18-year old body with more than 45 buck shots. Almost a week later, a TSA (Transportation Security Administration) officer was shot and killed, while two others were wounded, at the LAX (Los Angeles International) airport. Guns..controlled? Or gun users..out of control?
Gun supporters maintain that people kill, not guns. Opposers feel that gun control laws do not work or should be tougher. Nevertheless, murder and attempted murder continues to be a rising problem, especially in the U.S. Are gun control laws really effective? If so, what can be done then to decrease the rates of murder/attempted murder? If not, what can be done to make gun control effective?
