In the United States, the 2nd Amendment allows individuals to bear arms. As of right now gun violence has resulted in 372 mass shootings since 2013 and resulted in a cost of $299 billion annually in hospital bills, investigations, court proceedings, prisons, etc. Due to increasing gun violence mandatory background checks, safety courses (100% to pass), individual gun registration to the owner, and no private sales with a percentage of the sales tax going towards mental health institutions would vastly deteriorate gun related violence. Australia has implemented similar laws with a 59% decrease in gun related homicides. Already, 2016 has seen 3,386 deaths from gun violence and we are barely halfway through the year. It's time for action.
