Article Summary
Five years ago I traveled to the United States on vacation to visit an uncle, who lives in New York City, I had the opportunity to know a little of their culture.
But I could also know the great freedom that they give their citizens with respect to carrying weapons.
In the United States there are more than 50 firearm deaths in schools per year, due to the little control that exists when a person has the opportunity to buy a weapon, where they have no control over who sells them. weapons.
Many of the murders that occurred in schools and universities have been caused by individuals who are not well off their heads, who have a hatred towards other people and are free on the streets with the freedom to buy weapons.
It is important and urgent that the government work on creating laws that prohibit the sale of weapons to people who do not have a psychological permit.
