US gun laws show America has taken freedom too far
Play
More innocent Americans have become victims of their own country’s success in manufacturing lethal weaponry, after a gunman opened fire on 22,000 concertgoers at a Las Vegas music festival, killing 59 people and injuring 527.
Firearms are freely manufactured in the US, and citizens are able to buy them more easily than in most underdeveloped countries in the world.
The number of lethal weapons in the US far exceeds the number of citizens, making it one of the most dangerous places to live. The threat of instant death is constant.
Despite its advancement in firearm manufacturing, the US government is ineffectual in detecting which of its citizens are psychologically dangerous and capable of carrying out mass murders.
The incident in Las Vegas on Sunday is an example of freedom having gone too far – to the point where it’s not worth emulating by any other country in the world.
