In my classmate’s blog, “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly,”  she states that it is obvious that gun control isn’t working, because there were so many deaths from shootings. According to statistics from MADD, there are over 10,000 deaths and 290,000 injuries from drunk driving. The statistics from MassShootingTracker.org show approximately 600 deaths from mass shootings in the same time period. The CDC shows over 633,000 deaths a year from heart disease, and 595,000 from cancer. Where is the outrage of those lives that were cut short? According to some statistics, more than a million people a year die from regular car crashes. Of the statistics that gun control proponents love to spout, they always leave out that over half of gun deaths are self inflicted wounds. Rather than trying to pass more rules, maybe we should concentrate on enforcing the rules that are already in place.
