Craig Fleming | Current Events #5

On Monday(today), a gunman in Houston shot 9 people near a mall before he was killed. He was first seen wearing a Nazi military uniform around 6:30 am. The gunman was armed with 2 guns and some sort of knife. Reports say he was shooting into windshields and at people. He was taken down shortly after a shoot-off with police. Of course, this is a really tragic incident and is especially sad for the families of the victims. Many people will dispute over the gun laws and whether people should have them or not. After so many years of being able to have guns most don't want to change and will be hard to convince to give up their guns. Before anyone completely takes away guns, they maybe should make the process of getting one harder, and possibly prevent events like this from happening. Then eventually it should nearly impossible to get one, like in most European countries where gun control isn't a problem.

  1. I agree with you! I am fine with guns, but there should be a tough process of obtaining one, with background checks and much more.
