A 20 year old gunman killed 10 students and wounded at least 20 on the morning of Thursday 1st October in a school located in Roseburg, Oregon. He died in a shootout with the police shortly after and his motive for the deaths is unknown. Barack Obama demanded for tighter gun laws, as he has realised that these shootings have become a routine - 

"We are not the only country on Earth with mental illness or with people who want to harm each other, but we are the only country that has these mass shootings every few months."

Killers have turned schools, which are supposed to be safe institutions for their students into massacre sites repeatedly - "There have been 74 US shootings since Sandy Hook". I think that Obama's push for gun control is hopeless as America would've changed their laws by now considering their history on school shootings, I think he needs to try much harder to stop these incidents from recurring.

  1. This is an interesting story and you covered the facts alongside giving a quote from the article. However, there is no source and you could have emphasised your own opinion more.
