Las Vegas Mass Shooting
Gun
control has always been a debate dating back to 1934 when the National Firearms
Act (NFA) took place. Despite the
majority of the public acting against this policy catastrophic events such as
the Las Vegas mass shooting has taken place.
According to Masters (2014), nearly twenty thousand Americans lost their
lives to guns, the highest toll in more than two decades; and the trend looks
likely to continue through 2021. The right to bear arms has been the staple argument
behind the people who have acted against this policy. What is it going to take
for legislation to understand that guns are out of control? Background checks are one thing but are they
stringent enough to weed out the bad guys who are purchasing these firearms.
When we look back to the tragic day Paddock killed 58
people during a country concert, we have to ask ourselves why the motive
for this massacre was the alleged shooter was a wealthy accountant who loved everyone
and spent most of his time blowing hundreds of dollars in casinos. He wasn’t a bad guy so buying a gun wasn’t an
issue he passed all the background checks with flying colors. Gun control is far from being the issue because
good people should be allowed to own a firearm. The question we should be
asking is how the casino security allowed for this man to enter with all these
weapons. After the shooting, the first thing that was established was room
security measures, followed by tighter security measures. This is what needs to be done not attack gun
owners who thrive on recreational use.
