Gun Control Is Important Topic That We Should Pay More Attention to It
I never pay attention to news but a few months ago, I seen this mass shooting happened in Las Vegas all over the Social Media where almost 60 people died and almost 600 injured, I mean this is so sad when people are going to have fun, listen to music and have a great time but they end up with a bullet in the back of their head.
It happened in Orlando not too long ago where 49 people lost their life and it keeps happening over and over. As a result of that, now we have children without parents and fathers without sons, mothers without daughters. I have been reading comments about people saying this is terrible but there is nothing we can do about it but I disagree with
