62% of the 31,000 deaths caused by a gun are suicides (Cornell 2). According to Arthur L. Kellerman, MD, “residents of homes where a gun is present are 5 times more likely to experience a suicide than residents of homes without guns” (A Case for Gun Control). I have experienced the effects of suicide within my own family. One month ago, my cousin Marisa committed suicide. She was 26 years old and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia a few years prior to the tragic incident. Marisa was not in a…

should also come together and solve this situation by agreeing to have more regulations on guns without putting too many limits. Some ways that it can benefit both sides is having gun buyers go through an intense background check so that it can prevent mass shootings that has tragically killed so many people.

who has attempted suicide is not just a sad story but a scary event to live through.

Mental health is one of the biggest problems facing the world today. Lives have been lost through improper treatment of unstable individuals time and time again through mass shootings and other tragedies. Guns are often blamed as the culprit for these attacks but I disagree. While stronger gun control could help lessen the effects of mass shootings, it's not solving the common problem these shootings have in common with each other, the shooter is almost always a mentally unstable person.
