Too Many Guns

Many people have noticed that mass shootings happen very often in the USA, and hardly any happen anywhere else. Some people believe we have too many guns, too many assault rifles, too many gun shows, and that all these weapons are too easy to get. Much of this seems obvious to many people, which is why right now there is a movement started by the students at Stoneman Douglas High School, and spread all over the country, many inspired by the impassioned speech of  Emma Gonzalez, to take real action on gun control, including outlawing assault rifles. I applaud all these brave young people, and  wish them every success.
