The Center for Gun Policy and Research at Johns Hopkins University has recently discovered the topic of gun violence spreading through the U.S. In this article you will discover where the real problem to gun violence is people having easy access to them. As referred to in the title the increasing rates of gun violence is spreading throughout America like a wildfire. While reading this issue I feels as if in today’s society we are constantly having to be aware of our surroundings.

If I were to put myself in a position in this issue I would simple say at this point I am not against it or for it. In my opinion both of these sides have equally amount of truths. I feel with the populations growth and gun production on an upswing in one way does not reflect the true percentage of violent crimes in America. I also feel strongly about being concerned of gun violence and cautious of what is going on around us at all times. It affects me even though I live in a less populated area there is still a lot of gun violence being reported.

As bad as the gun violence is here in America it is even worse in the world. Especially in the Middle East where there is so many countries trying to overpower other countries. Due to the amount of weapons in the United States and Russia have in their possession they are able to furnish most of the countries that are fighting each other with the weapons that they need. There would not be as much gun violence throughout these other countries if they were not able to receive these weapons so easily. It is a shame that these countries feel the need to continue to overpower the small defenceless countries instead of letting them live in peace.

In conclusion I think as a country we should take these crimes into consideration by not allowing these guns to be so easily made available. As an individual there is very little I can do to help but if we would all make an effort to help remedy this problem there would not be as many gun violence rates.
