WHY We Need to End Gun Violence

This morning we learned about another tragic and sad shooting. This one was at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida. According to the New York Times, 50 people were killed and more than 53 had been injured. As specified by the nonprofit named Gun Violence Archive there have been 14 other mass shootings in the month of June alone. In Minnesota, California, Florida, New Mexico, North Carolina, New York, Massachusetts, Washington D.C., Colorado, and Arizona. I am appalled by and greatly disturbed by the number of mass shootings that have occurred in 12 days.
