All of the massive gun shootings in America is a very recent occurrence. In the 1980s when there were many less gun restriction laws in America there was not nearly as much of an issue than what’s going on now. The US already has curtain laws set in place to make sure wrong people don’t own guns, such as a mandatory therapist check up, back-round checks, etc. The issue that needs to be fixed is not gun restriction, it’s the people who commit these shootings that need serious mental help. For example, in the Florida school shooting we know that the kid who committed it was depressed for a few months before hand and had made several death threats before hand including on social media and nothing was done about it. I don’t think it’s the gun restrictions that need to be improved it’s the police enforcement of the laws already in place that needs to be fixed. Chicago is known to the most restrictive guns laws in the country; but, South Chicago is also still the capital of deaths from shootings in the US.
