Random Gun Violence

Gun violence has been a problem for as far back as we can count or remember. Several precautions are taken when citizens become fire arm owners. The process of educating individuals applying for a fire arm permit should continue once the individual owns the fire arm. This is just one of the steps to keep the safety of the right to bear arms in our best interest. Other safety methods are safety devices, storages and experience. The ATF has systems for illegal gun transactions to decrease the number or illegal guns that are on the street. This system in large crime areas is the top percentage of gun violence crimes committed. Below is a demographic study of “Mass Shootings in 2018” taken from gunviolencearchive.org.

Recently the coastline or coastal states have been targeted in the gun violence sweep. Tensions rose when hurricanes leveled certain areas and a vast number of fire arms were made available to the audience at hand. Who are the audience at hand? Those oppressed by the lack of supplies, attention, uneducated and poverty stricken. Another group is those who are graced with being in the upper middle class and high class citizens.

Several witnesses posted videos taken near the scene to social media, including audio of shots ringing out through the neighborhood.”
