Summary

US president Barack Obama said, ” The country  must repent of  the increase of shootings  in recent years.”  In America, gun-related crime and accident  happen in many places, for example schools, universities and places of work. ” It’s terrible for me that many American people take mass shootings at rates that are extremely higher than any place else for granted.” Mr obama said.He has required stricker gun control laws, but the powerful gun lobby, especially the National Rifle Association has made a forceful move against it.

My opinion

This problem is very difficult to think for me because of the difference between Japan and America. Many Japanese feel that the gun is very dangerous ,so the gun control laws are no wonder. However, American people, notably the National Riffle Association adovocates the gun control laws are the way to take away freedom from people. The slogan of this groupe is “Guns don’t kill people; people kill people.”: they think American’s violence  proceeds mainly from mental health issues. Therefore, I can’t say “The gun control laws should be pushed” lightly. Still, the gun is the weapon to be able to kill the human easily. If people have the freedom to use the gun, they must be take responsibility for the gun. I believe ” With great power comes great responsibility.” in the words of famous American comics.
