Connecticut School Shooting: What does this event teach us about society?
On December 14th, 2012, 26 people were shot at Sandy Hook Elementary School-20 of them children. The shooter was 20 year old Adam Lanza who later killed himself after his rampage. This event has spread all across the world gaining the attention of citizens everywhere. The firearm laws in the United States need to be altered. Adam Lanza has access to his mothers weapons that were kept in the basement close to his room. Even though the mother had all her weapons registered, she should have kept them locked up where they could not be accessed by anyone but her. This teaches us that society has become outrageous. This shooting has deeply disturbed me and my prayers go out to the poor families affected by this. May they rest in peace.
I agree with your post. This is a tragic and disturbing incident. It is also a very rude awakening to society in terms of accessibility of firearms and who truly does have access to them. Clearly even having a permit system these weapons have been put into the wrong hands; America needs to come up with a better system to ensure that they are not accessible to those who are not permuted to have one.
