In the article "Do We Have the Courage to stop this?" the writer Nicholas D. Kristof writes about the most recent shooting massacre since the movie theatre. One question still remains on his mind "Why can't we regulate guns as seriously as we do cars?"

A public health specialist from Harvard sates that kids from the ages of 5 to 14 have a higher chance of being killed with guns than other kids from other countries like the U.S.

Many things in school are checked for safety and are okay to be around children. But people don’t take the time to safe proof and make sure the deadly and things that might kill more students are 100% not able to get in schools.

People are taking many precautions on things that do not kill students. The school Safety and Health Administration has a big rule about the safety of ladders in school which kills in the average year 300 people in America. But not even close to as much about guns which kill annually 30,000 Americans a year.

Toy guns have even more safety regulations with the flashy orange strip across the front. The National Rifle Association has the lawmakers scared to confront them about regulating guns like they do the toy ones.

If toy guns are being taken more seriously than regular guns more and more people are going to be killed. There is a simple fact that more people won't be taking it seriously. The gun law needs to be changed. And they need to be changed fast before we see another tragic accident like this happen again.
