US President Barack Obama is urging people to take a second look around and to think seriously about gun violence. This came after the California shooting this week, which he believes may be tied to terrorism.
People Are Becoming Desensitized to Mass Shootings. Americans often feel like they can’t do anything about this kind of violence
The latest shooting, which claimed the lives of 14 people, is being investigated for ties with terrorism. The suspicions come from the kind of guns that were used, and there’s a change the culprits have access to more in their home base.
Americans often feel like they can’t do anything about this kind of violence, but endorsing better gun control laws could make a world of a difference. Obama did not make any remarks to the way Republicans have blocked his effort to control gun laws, but he urges the people to rethink the way they view the second amendment of the US constitution.
Gun Laws Must See A Change
After the San Bernardino shooting, it’s up to the people to strive for a change. While social media has done a great job of raising awareness of the severity of the times we live in, it is just too easy to get guns in America. Whether or not the incident was stemmed from terrorism, guns must be harder to get in order for this kind of attack to happen less frequently.
This comes at a high time as well, as Obama joins the fight against ISIS in his last months in office. There are battles at every front, with ISIS at one side and global warming at the other. There’s only so much he can do as a world leader, and there’s only so much he can do as the Chief Officer of the United States.
